did WKRP have the original music or the generic kind? i need to know because i would like to see if comcast would get this channel on our cable and i would love to see episodes of the original 'KRP with music intact

[Legend City]

It was only the pilot, so hard to know.

Not much music on the pilot.

Boy, do I wish DirecTV had American Life TV.  With
its faults it still seems to have TVLand beaten (it
sounds like you're not subjected to Gunsmoke or
Bonanza everytime you turn on that channel).

Re "Bourbon Street Beat" and "Surfside 6," "Bourbon"
lasted only one season (1959-60) and "Surfside" (despite
the fact that it's quite well-remembered by baby boomers),
only two (1960-62), so American Life probably ran out of
episodes pretty quickly.  "Hawaiian Eye" went four seasons
(1959-63), and "77 Sunset Strip" six (1958-64, although you
might want to pass on the last season, when Jack Webb
took over as producer and turned Stu Bailey into a globetrotting
detective--or was it spy?  Shades of turning "Burke's Law" into
"Amos Burke, Secret Agent" in the fall of 1965; the audience didn't
buy into it and the whole show was canceled in January 1966.)

It is in the digital tier on my cable system (Bright House Networks).    Thanks for the heads up, as the only time I ever watched ALN was for "Flea Market Mania". Was a slow TV day....

Where is this channel? Is it only on cable some places? Sounds right up my alley!

[CrankyYankee]

American Life seems to be cable-only unless it's been added to Dish and DirecTV in the last five minutes.

Usually found in the digital section of one's cable system, ALN appears to have limited distribution.

"Hawaiian Eye" went four seasons
(1959-63), and "77 Sunset Strip" six (1958-64, although you
might want to pass on the last season, when Jack Webb
took over as producer and turned Stu Bailey into a globetrotting
detective--or was it spy?

To hear Efrem Zimbalist tell the story, Webb tried to turn his character into Joe Friday.

someone let me know if it is with the original music or generic
