Fox Home Video has no email address, but that's just as well, because regular mail is usually taken more seriously by companies than e-mail (because of the greater effort involved in sending regular mail). Please write, and encourage others to write, to the above address saying that you want more "WKRP" on video and that if all the episodes were available, you'd buy them. Remember to mention that all the episodes should be released.
According to a "Variety" report someone sent me, the "Entertainment Tonight Weekend" look back at WKRP back in March 2000 gave ET's weekend nostalgia edition "its highest rating since February 1996, with a 4.2 score, up 31% from the previous week and 27% from last year, to nail the top firstrun weekly hour in syndication."
