We’ve started watching the Umbrella Academy on Netflix. Really enjoying it so far. Finished season throughout this week and are 1 episode into season 2.
One year at Stache Bash, a band covered the outro of WKRP
Couldn’t tell what the hell they were singing either
Full marks
The closing theme, "WKRP In Cincinnati End Credits", was a hard rock number composed and performed by Jim Ellis, an Atlanta musician who recorded some of the incidental music for the show. According to people who attended the recording sessions, Ellis didn't yet have lyrics for the closing theme, so he sang nonsense words to give an idea of how it would sound. Wilson decided to use the words anyway, since he felt that it would be funny to use lyrics that were deliberately gibberish, as a satire on the incomprehensibility of many rock songs. Also, because CBS always had an announcer talking over the closing credits, Wilson knew that no one would actually hear the closing theme lyrics anyway. [last.fm]

The Following User Says Thank You to troutman For This Useful Post:
I finished season 1 of Hijack and I must say it had so much going for it - an interesting premise, solid production, good acting, I think the direction and pace was good as well. All of it equates to what should have been a home run series, if it wasn't for the terrible writing.
It reminded me of a Taylor Sheridan series where the script is full of these poorly thought out moments that scream "I think my audience is an idiot so I get to fill this script with garbage anytime I need to build tension".
It should have been an 8/10 but the writing gets it a 6.5/10.
