 Popular 1980s actor Loni Anderson of the hit TV series ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ has died LOS ANGELES (AP) — Loni Anderson, who played a struggling radio station’s empowered receptionist on the hit TV comedy “WKRP in Cincinnati,” died Sunday, just days before her 80th birthday. Anderson died at a Los Angeles hospital following a “prolonged” illness, said her longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan. “We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother,” Anderson’s family said in a statement. “WKRP in Cincinnati” aired from 1978-1982 and was set in a lagging Ohio radio station trying to reinvent itself with rock music. The cast included Gary Sandy, Tim Reid, Howard Hesseman, Frank Bonner and Jan Smithers, alongside Anderson as the sexy and smart Jennifer Marlowe. As the station’s receptionist, the blonde and high-heeled Jennifer used her sex appeal to deflect unwanted business calls for her boss, Mr. Carlson. Her efficiency often kept the station running in the face of others’ incompetence. The role earned her two Emmy Award and three Golden Globe nominations. Anderson starred on the big screen alongside Burt Reynolds in the 1983 comedy “Stroker Ace” and the two later married and became tabloid fixtures before divorcing in 1994. Anderson is survived by her husband Bob Flick, daughter Deidra and son-in law Charlie Hoffman, son Quinton Anderson Reynolds, grandchildren McKenzie and Megan Hoffman, stepson Adam Flick and wife Helene, step-grandchildren Felix and Maximilian. |

| Dating myself by chiming in, but who are we kidding on a comic board, so ditto. You can purchase digital from Apple, I’ve only seen dvd at Amazon. Wonder how it would hold up on a rewatch now. | ||

| RIP Loni! @sofluffy I think it would be a great re-watch - a few references are certainly dated but at the time - amazing show!! |

| The problem that I've read about the show on disc (and maybe streaming) is that the rights to many of the songs played when the show was originally aired have not been retained. So, you might have a singer singing a cover of a Beatles song, for example, instead of the Beatles themselves. Other than that, I've watched episodes recently and they hold up very well. But I'm 57. It might not appeal to younger folks. And Loni Anderson was something else back in her day. RIP. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| RIP Lonnie Anderson. I hope you have a “Fly me to the Moon” doorbell! I am of the belief that I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show and W.K.R.P. Are the best TV Shows ever. |
