whenever i cross the I 75 bridge northbound into the city this song instantly comes into my head and i either start to hum it or sing it. 1 of the best tv shows from the late 70's early 80's. i was just there this past weekend for horror hound my friends asked me what i was singing i told them and they said oh yeah i remember watching reruns of the show i tell em i watched 1st run episodes.

I absolutely love this song..........brings back memories of simpler times while in high school.

30+ years later i still love this song... I grew up in brooklyn, ny and remember being mezmorized by the short views of cincinnatti when the song came on. I live about 1hr & 1/2 away now,and love driving through cincy, especially coming into the city from Kentucy. I'ts become one of- if not my favorite city. Cincinnatti is a beautiful city,especially at night !!!. The people are great too. I'm anxious to live there. One day I will. Thanks for posting this.

Best TV theme ever in my book. Just something about it makes it great!

Nice job man, got to one of my favorite shows and themes. Big smiles and thanks!

Watched this show with my dad when I was a kid,always dug the theme

@ECWnWWF Riverfront Stadium was torn down many years ago. That was home to the "BIG RED MACHINE" of the 1970s. Today, the Cincinnati Reds play in "Great American Ballpark" which is also downtown.

What a nice city. :)

great song....great city shots!!!!!!

One of my favorite cities. You did a fantastic job of capturing the beauty and spirit of Cincy in these pictures. Awesome job!

thanks for sharing this video and song. LOVE the show.

Oh, how I enjoyed this show.

I LOVE these pix! Really shows the true beauty of our area.

He siad the price of finding me was loosing you.... Wow... I grew up on this jingle but was too young to understand...

Glad that you " think of me once in awhile"

Great photos. Thanks for sharing!

great vid...cincy looking great!!!!!

i loved tis show i wish they will brin it back on television

Ah, the days when tv shows had their own theme songs. Ah, the days when they were good enough to have 'em! This is an awesome job, Offroad! Makes me want to visit Cincinnati!

Thank you for posting this song. I love it!

This is Sweet, the theme song is what made me start watching WKRP and ths longer version is very nice! Thanx for the post.

Thanks for your vid. Always had a great time in Cincinnati.

Great song

Maybe you and me were never meant to be, Just think of me once in a while.❤️💔 Leaving you was the hardest thing I ever had to do!💖💖

Wow who wouldnt love that city? It's beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful! :)

Great train station!

I'm a big baseball fan, and I'd love to see a game at Great American Ballpark someday-looks like it's a beautiful stadium.

I love this!!

realy nice thank you

You're a really good photographer. I enjoyed. Thanks for sharing =)

One local author referred to the Queen City as Hudepohl Heaven. Another local celebrity didn't mind earning a living, but he loved to sell carpets!

Great tribute to my hometown! I still think its funny when people as me where WKRP was....I have to laugh and say "only on TV! It was a fictional radio station!" I think they should have made one just for the hell of it though!

great job....

The song was composed by Tom Wells, lyrics by Hugh Wilson and sung by Steve Carlisle.

I had a penpal lived out of Cincinatti in a place called Pleasant Plains. I haven't from him in 30 years.

That was cool! :)

Living in Cali now. Makes me hungry for Skyline Chili and La Rosa's pizza. I miss Cinci.....

Happy days. Fond memories.

I was wondering if anyone else had thought about that too! :) I would always think of the EON credits of old, especially with that one pic, shot from the direction of the Brent Spence Bridge. :)

While I was in Cincinnati, I ate lots of Skyline Chili. I love Cincinnati Chili.

Same with me. My parents left the Cleveland area when I was 12 back in 1987 and we came to Central Florida (Altamonte Springs specifically). At the age of 37 I am still in Central Florida and wish I was still back in Ohio. Maybe when the economy picks up I will make the move back. Cincy seems like a cool city as well.

@torchwoodjackharknes Thanks for the reply! The saddest day of my life was when my parents moved our family away from Cincy down to central Florida when I was 11. It's 47 years later and I've still not totally gotten over it. I grew up in Delhi Hills---- God's country! Kentucky is a beautiful state and my great-grandparents are originally from there. I'm permanently in Toronto (a VERY LONG story), but I frequently "DX" WLW am 700 up here at night and get the local news.

great video

the best part of this show

Thanks I miss home !!!!!

I like how you change the pictures with the water drops. That is what I call picture perfect. Later.

To Steve Carlisle, you were fantastic on this theme song! ----------WolfSky9, 72 y/o

beautifull sad sad song

I stay like three hours from there but it looks really nice. I want to get some footage og that area for my up and coming film.

Ah I kind of like this song from when I saw the show as a kid. and got friends in the city the places I wish to see if I were to visit though are in the over the rhine district which people who visited auburn for the auction at kruse tell me is the worst most crime ridden ghetto in the city. But there is still kings island to go see been years since I went there.

Said to the bartender "Best night I ever had" Sang to the bar Had a microphone in(to) her heart I said - Goodbye madam I'd had a bird in hand I said - I'm doing good And put love in her heart

Lost job,little money. Irrational, I have to be in Cinncinatti.

the video looks good could we try to do the show agagin and use this as the opening? and have baily as the program director? and little "big guy" aka aurther carlson as the owner and CEO

Memories

great fuckin job:-) awesome editing well done kudos:-)

@ToaoRaj Impugn it. My reasoning is I travelled 13 hours from Ontario, Canada to watch an NFL game and fell in love with the city with no intentions on it happening. I found what you had to say distasteful and what I interpreted the city to represent is affirmed by the awards they have won. I would definitely have no problem living and loving life in Cincinnati if I ever had the opportunity. This is with no bias only experience of someone visiting the great city of Cincinnati.

had some cincy chili,for supper!!!!

I was in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. Went up to the Carew Tower Observation deck?

@tracisle3618 THANX!

If it is done make sure it is the shows put to tape before 1989 as the rights to use the songs are not good after that date. Any DVD made after that date is different with the actual songs by the original artists not included in each episode.

I agree, a sad song.

I like the rocking closing theme better

Didn't they demo river front stadium? It looked like it was in one of the photos? I could be wrong though.

@MissAshPYT I'm thinking of going there what are the best spots to go at?

@brelaproduction Check out some Cincy travel sites.

That's cool. No disrespect but living on either one of the coasts all my life I've always associated Cincy with being one of those anonymous isolated Midwestern small big cities in the middle of nowhere. It's sort of a blank slate in my mind, kind on the same level as places like Kansas City, Indianapolis, Omaha, Columbus and St. Louis. Is there honestly anything that distinctive about it?

you know what? I live in Germany and one gallon costs right now 6$!!! How can you still afford to have a car? Crazy! So you guys in the US can be really lucky :-)

When I was driving 18 wheelers thru here always would put this song on the city reminds me of NYC at night and sits on the river just like New York City!

@ToaoRaj FYI - As per Wikipedia 93 - "Most Livable City" 04 - Top Ten "Cities that Rock", Esquire 07 - #1 city in Ohio for "Best Cities For Young Professionals" Forbes magazine 08 - #10 as the most walkable city in the US and #1 in Ohio 11 - #5 in "America's Most Affordable Cities" Forbes 11 - #1 "residential remodeling market" in the US by Remodeling Magazine 11 - #7 as the "Most Romantic City" in the US by Amazon.com 12 - Ranked #3 for Top US Travel Destinations by "Lonely Planet"

deep theme song often lost ina very funny klassik show.

where is Riverfront Stadium? that was always in the beginning clips of WKRP in Cincinnati

No, I meant parts in general downtown that weren't shown. Though Cincy is beautiful at night with all the lights, it's far from being clean like it used to be. Even surrounding suburbs. I would like to see a REAL cincy video.

This is my stompin grounds

@johnwoa Sadly you are correct. To me it was a sad day to see Riverfront Stadium go down, I could never call it Cinergy Field...It never felt right to call the house where Pete Rose beat Ty Cobb's hit record Cinergy field. I am not a big fan of Great American Ballpark. To those that want to insult Cincinnati, keep your comments to yourself. Though I was raised in Kentucky, Cincinnati is the city of my birth, and in the end my one true home town, you don't like it stay the hell out.

@TraceyMariexx lol love it hahahah xxx

Dont forget one side of the Ohio River is not Cincinnatti ! Its Covington , Ky !

great vid w/ extended song, but then you cut off the tail end as it trails off. :/

What is Cincinnati really like? Is it blacker than coal? It it fairly cheap to live? Jobs? Cleanliness? Someone, give me the skinny on this city...

where are the slums of Linn St. and the gross parts of Cincinnat???

Tall Stacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOUND'S LIKE LES SINGING

Wonder what ever became of me

Gines, vols un quiliku?

I live in Cincinnati too! It's not quite as... pretty as all those pictures ha

Quit picking on Cincinnati. It is a beautiful city and it takes pride in its military people. I had a layover at that airport and the people are just as nice as they can be.

drop the please and quickly geez

Norwood

I don't mind earning a living...BUT I LOVE TO SELL CARPET! Whatever happened to Buddy?

I see, its a shame, that the new ones are eye sores, most of the new stadiums are built to look old though, but it costs more to build two of them, but eh what are you going to do except complain, the city usually does what it wants anyway.

WEBN fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@manga12 yeah they tore down river front stadium and built two new eyesores after both teams threatened to leave the city unless the taxpayers of Hamilton county paid to have the before said eyesores built.

Just picking on Cincinnati on this is unfair; except for Columbus all Ohio cities have had huge population decline. This is due to the loss of many manufacturing/industrial type of jobs in the state; it's happening in Canada in Windsor. However, being a place to do cheap business attracts new companies to do business in a city. In 2009, Cincinnati was listed fourth on CNN's Top 10 cities for new grads. Would such a reputable news station recommend moving to a city where thousands are "fleeing"?

Cincinnati is nasty, I lived here all my life and I been around the world with the military, it is a very dirty ass city. Chicago is nicer in the south side compared to Cincinnati lol

I don't care that you don't care either.

Don't care much for your comment.
