Welcome to Cincy! Your sports rankings and reasonings make sense to me, as I'm a transplated DFW kid. You do need to check out FCCincinnati in person. We sell out pretty much every match, and the crowd is LOUD and proud. Fun family atmosphere, intense fun in the matches. And we're GOOD!

Thanks, Chip. And I am serious about the dome nonsense. If Haslam gets his dome, I am done. I do look forward to a match!

If you're taking requests, would like to see some serious WKRP coverage in these pages. Also, if you need to photograph my old Ozzie Smith glove (now retired like the Wizard of Oz himself), it can be arranged.

CincyShirts.com has some great WKRP shirts. I can get you a “MORE ROCK! LES NESSMAN!” shirt.

I have not watched much of that show. Obviously gotta get a boxed set now.

I read somewhere that the copious amount of hit music played in the show have really hurt it as far as archival licensing for purchase or streaming. All the original music rights expired years ago. You might have to find an old set of DVDs at resale.

I looked at Half Price Books today, no dice. I got S1 at the library in Virginia before we moved and made a dent. I am sure the library will have a copy in the interim. But living here, seems that I do have to own it.

You probably had to be there. Not sure how well it holds up. But it was peek Loni Anderson, and Dr. Johnny Fever was the coolest DJ of all-time.
