The following is a complete listing of episodes of the TV series WKRP in Cincinnati. The series opens with receptionist Jennifer Marlowe watering plants in the radio station lobby while "beautiful music" plays in the background. Andy Travis arrives fresh from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and announces he is the new program director. Initially, Andy receives a cold reception from news director Les Nessman and sales manager Herb Tarlek. The ineffectual, weak-willed station manager, Arthur Carlson, had forgotten that he had hired Andy and their initial interview almost ends in disaster. WKRP is 16th in an 18 station market, playing outdated music. Andy meets disc jockey (DJ) Johnny Caravela and remembers him as the host of a radio show in California. Johnny tells Andy he got fired for saying "Booger" on the air, and reveals Les' and Herb's own visions for the station (Les wants all news, Herb, all talk). Andy soon changes the format to rock and roll. On being informed, Johnny stops a song in mid-play by scraping the needle across the record, informs his listeners that "it is time for this town to get down!" and Dr. Johnny Fever is born. For good measure, Johnny says "Booger" on the air.
