Unable to leave a good idea alone, WKRP In Cincinnati was unwisely revived in 1991 with a bunch of consistently poor new episodes that went into what the Americans call 'first-run syndication' - that is, they were screened by independent stations, not the network-owned ones.

 WKRP in Cincinnati Summary

Des Barres landed a recurring role in the popular TV series WKRP in Cincinnati, and by the dawn of the '80s was able to successfully nip a dangerous substance addiction in the bud.
But it was as a member of Chequered Past that Des Barres befriended Duran Duran (when Des Barres and company opened several dates for the British new wave hit makers), which would soon lead to the singer's next project.
It was also around this time that a track that Des Barres had co-penned a few years previously with songwriter Holly Knight, "Obsession," was covered by the new wave synth-dance outfit Animotion, who scored a massive hit with it.
