Specials (1980) Two different special presentations of WKRP were produced in 1980.
U.S Treasury Department Savings Bond advertisement An 11-minute special, a production of the U.S. Treasury Department, uses the second season version of the opening credits (crediting only Gary Sandy and Gordon Jump, but also showing clips of the rest of the cast) but is not a full episode of the series, nor was it televised. It contains no laugh track and is part of a long-running series from the Treasury in which sitcoms were adapted into commercials for Savings Bonds. For reasons unknown, Universal City Studios claimed copyright on the film despite no involvement with the series (and, as a work for hire for the U.S. government, its copyright eligibility is questionable in and of itself).
Segment on The Fantastic Funnies The Fantastic Funnies was a 1980 CBS special hosted by Loni Anderson about various newspaper comics. In a 3-and-a-half minute self-contained segment, Howard Hesseman appears in character as Dr. Johnny Fever, hosting his morning radio show in the WKRP broadcast booth. No other series characters appear in this segment.
