Yeah, a hilarious show with a perfect cast.

This sad news has caused me to get out my WKRP box set and watch the show again.

“I live like a college student. I own two pairs of socks and I eat over the sink. A year ago, I was living in a van, in Florida. It wasn’t my van. I didn’t care!”

RIP Johnny.
