Shout Factory (was: Re: [QuadList] Danny Kaye Show)

[Alan Kline]

Now I'm nervous...I've pre-ordered Shout Factory's release of the full 
series of "WKRP in Cincinnati". I hope they learned their lesson from 
the "All In The Family" fiasco. I have the first season of "Family" 
(Sony release) which was well-done and included the "From Television 
City in Hollywood" VO over black at the beginning, which I believe was 
deleted from syndication copies.

Speaking of WKRP, which IIRC was taped at Golden West--would those shows 
have been recorded on quad or 1"? It was about the time when Type C 1" 
was coming onto the market.
