I am looking forward to acquiring the second season of WKRP in Cincinnati as it long awaited release on DVD is coming in March. For years I have had the first season and only the first season as part of my classic sitcom DVD collection and about had given up hope for all four seasons of this program to be released someday. His show was pretty awesome and ranks as part of my favorite
seventies and eighties sitcoms with great characters with comedic value and appeal all except for the one played by Gary Sandy Called Andy. His should often a character dropped by the shows producers for another one in much the same way taxi dropped the loser who played John and that no one like. The John character will forever taint Taxi and I think the reason WKRP didn't get more rating and mass appeal or Emmy awards is mainly due to this boring Andy character that added Absolutely nothing for his role as station manager at WKRP. 
How the fuck this actor and character wasn't dropped after he first miserable season I will never know and I do not look forward to seeing his role in future long forgotten episodes of this program that I haven't seen since the original airing. Every character of this cast added something to the show with a unique different aspect that created a cool work place setting that was the premise of this sitcom and then they cast this bean neck from Kentucky as some adult farm kid now in charge of operations. You cold clearly see the producers a d writers had no idea and confusion where to go with this boss character in his relationship with the others at the station. Many television programs would cast the boss as villain of the cast but they did not go in this direction with Andy. I would of cast Jennifer as the boss not really earning her salary and role as in charge and put the Andy character as a gay secretary to really get the creativity flowing. The Andy character like the John one in Taxi just was plain and had no imaginative immeasurable possibilities for interesting plot line development. Both deserved to have been scratched months before actual airing of these two great programs and their absence could of only have been a bonus bonanza as we had seen Taxi improve with newer funnier character replacement. To Gary Sandy the guy who played Andy travis..I hate you.
