    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In some scenes, bulletin boards or wall spaces are plastered with bumper stickers for radio stations across the USA. They were sent by real-life radio DJs who were avid fans of the show.
    • Goofs
      In every episode as the perspective is the station's lobby (Jennifer's work area) the glass door from the hallway into the lobby shows the call letters as the viewer would normally read them. They should be on the outside of the door, making them look backwards from inside the lobby.
    • Quotes
      • Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson: As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
    • Crazy credits
      The lyrics for the closing credits consist of gibberish words.
    • Alternate versions
      MTM Productions' license to use some of the songs for this show expired in the mid-1990s. Syndicated and home video versions since then, including that on the Nick-at-Nite cable network, have replaced some of those songs with stock music.

      Featured in The 32nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards (1980)
