    Premise: A struggling adult contemporary radio station format is changed to rock

Why WKRP in Cincinnati might be annoying:

    Their time slot changed 7 times.
    Loni Anderson's character frequently used her sexuality to get her own way.
    The music used in the original episodes was changed in the 90's syndicated episodes to generic rock music, as it was too expensive to pay for the licensing.
    How did eight people run an entire radio station?
    Despite the popularity of the show, most of the actors struggled after it ended.
    They attempted a few serious episodes that worked against the comedic genius of the show.
    It spawned a horrible spin-off.
    The station was housed in the Flimm building, which was pronounced phlegm building.

Why WKRP in Cincinnati might not be annoying:

    The Thanksgiving turkey drop episode is considered one of the funniest moments in sitcom history.
    The original run of the series featured a lot of classic rock music.
    The hilarity of the show rested on the quirks of the characters and not (necessarily) on unbelievable zany situations.
    Each character had their own endearing qualities that worked together to form one of the funniest ensembles in television.
    It never ‘jumped the shark.'
