Here's how I described today's show on my social media: "What if I took EVERY DJ break which Howard Hesseman ever made (as Dr. Johnny Fever, on WKRP in Cincinnati), and just... followed his lead?

Would I be able to construct a three hour radio show, with Fever as the host?

I was, in fact, and even kept all the music era appropriate (nothing after 1982), and almost everything was actually played on the program (1978-1982).

They actually played Captain Beefheart on WKRP? Yes! And Prince? No! Tune in to see if you can tell which tracks I’ve twisted the doctor into playing for you...

Just a collage I made, for fun. And then did nothing with. Now, to honor everyone’s favorite DJ, I’ll be sharing it with Sheena’s Jungle Room."

This is a brilliant concept! I had no idea he back/front announced so many real songs. Most sitcoms would make stuff up and play library songs for diegetic music bits.

Remember watching as a kid, alongside other fav sitcoms like 'come and knock on our door' and 'kiss my grits' and this show with Fever, 'booger'. This is like 6th-7th grade TV watching.

I had to, Mr. Fab, by orders. It was set in Portland Oregon. Plus, Larry/McLean was a radio DJ.

Mr Fab:

Maybe it was a great show. I just know it as a punchline.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:34pm
Rich in Washington:

It was fairly dismal but I remember people around here being excited that a major US sitcom was set in Portland.
Avatar 2:37pm

I like "Grimm," tho i doubt it represented the real Portland - perpetually dark, and seemingly very wooded. You'd never guess Portland was a major city - they were always running thru dark forests.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:38pm

I plan on watching the SNL from '79 with Hesseman with the skit where he plays himself visiting a real FM radio station and all the jocks take him to task for not wearing headphones in his DJing scenes.

The idea of being a DJ didn't occur to me until I discovered late night radio on my local stoner 'classic' rock station. The thought of playing music I liked while the whole world was sleeping weirdly appealed to me.

Avatar 3:23pm
Otis:

Trying to pinpoint my gateway and it was very much a variety. Early 90s start was a combo of listening to Hour of Slack and Over The Edge and just coming off San Fran Hip Hop DJs like Cameron Paul on KMEL and hearing tape dubs of NYC and LA radio (like Russ Parr in LA/Bobby Jimmy)... in High School previous totally Demento and WKRP was one of the shows on the tube with the parents watching. Lots of influences... but probably my very first was AM KFRC San Fran Bay Area DJ Dr. Don Rose.

As far as my DJ inspirations, I grew up listening and interacting with radio. Making tapes of myself pretending to intro songs. When I was 10, we moved from Nashville to New Jersey. Between 1985 and 1990 I was most influenced by Kool DJ Red Alert on WRKS Kiss FM and Irwin Chusid on WFMU. Irwin’s “Atrocious Music” show made so much sense to me having grown up with my dad playing me weird and novelty records.

PDS, yes... had a couple of KISS FM tape dubs in the late 80s made by a pal who sent me stuff from NYC and would send back dubs of KMEL in San Fran. Atrocious Music, I only had tape dubs of some of the volumes Irwin put out until I could listen to Woof Moo proper in 1999 with the realaudio stream.

I can understand why DJs remember Howard Hesseman as Dr. Johnny Fever. But I also liked his performances in Dr. Detroit and in the Titan Man segment of Amazon Women of the Moon.
Avatar 3:53pm
Mr Fab:

I heard Irwin when he did some special fill-ins on an LA station in the '90s. I was instantly a fan and like Otis, i jumped on the FMU 'net stream in '99, when the classic "Incorrect Music" show was just hitting. So alas I never heard the "Atrocious" show. I wonder if tapes exist somewhere? Someone digitize 'em pleeze!

Irwin may have them still, I had 4 or 5 volumes from tape trading days in the mid-90s.

Otis:

RealAudio 32k stream in 1999... I do have real fond memories of being able to experience radio from distant places. Right up there with nostalgia for trading tapes.

Pimpdaddysupreme:

Mr Fab, my favorite moment, which I do believe I have on tape, was Irwin playing this warbly and terribly bland woman singing just left of key and all of a sudden the record starts to speed up and swirl until the needle flies across and off the record. Background music gently fades in and Irwin says, “Even I have my limits, you know.”

Pretty sure Don-O, MarkTime and SpaceBrother have tapes too as we all traded in the 90s.

Hi, Mr Fab + Jon! Sorry i'm late but so happy to have this tribute to Howard Hesseman! As a kid I watched WKRP in syndication and absolutely loved the comedy and the music. It is mind-blowing that he and Tim Reid picked the music they played. Unimaginable today.
