Plot Summary

The Reverend Little Ed Pembrook hosts a one hour show, "The Church of the Mighty Struggle," on WKRP at the 8AM Sunday time slot. Those few people at the station that have actually met the Reverend, including Mr. Carlson, are scared of him in his fire and brimstone demeanor, that he is a 300-pound ex-wrestler, and in believing he's crazy, one incident of note being when he stuck the head of a much larger wrestling competitor in a soda pop machine. The station has received many complaints about the unseemly nature of the Reverend's show, including from the Greater Cincinnati Inter-religious Council, those complaints asking for the Reverend's removal from the air. The complaints question the veracity of the Reverend actually being a man of religion, he selling religious-themed merchandise on his program being the biggest issue. Andy does believe it is grounds for the Reverend's dismissal. But Andy, who has never met the Reverend, may not be able to overcome the Reverend's bigger than life nature to fire him, or the fact that he has a two-year contract. Is there any way to get rid of the Reverend or at least have him tone down his shows truly to bring religion to the people? For Mr. Carlson, the biggest problem about having to deal with the Reverend may be the continual meetings in his office which won't allow him to play in peace with the latest toy he has just had delivered. Meanwhile, Jennifer's beau of one week, Rhett, owner of a wholesale appliance business, is showering her with gifts, which would allow her not only to equip her kitchen fully, but that of all the other WKRPer's kitchens and sheds many times over.

Trivia Throughout season one, both opening and closing credits appear in white lettering, using a text overlay process that results in puffy and often overlapping characters. In this final episode of season one, the closing credits appear in blue, using a much sharper image rendering process. Season two sees a return to the white lettering, but retaining the sharper rendering process. See more »
Goofs In "Fish Story," the lobby was being painted beige. Here, the lobby is still the old blue color and the beige that was being painted is gone. Time has passed. Enough time for the beige to be painted over with the original blue and for the word PIG (written over the WKRP logo) to have been removed as well. See more »
