A/N: Welcome to what will be the start of a collection of songfics set to classic TV show themes. If I were you, I wouldn't expect this to get updated like Tonight's Top Ten, but I will come back to it every once in awhile, if I can think of fics that work well with show themes.

WKRP In Cincinnati
Brick Flagg drove down a highway outside of the city he was moving too. It was hard leaving Middleton behind again, after only coming back to her three short years ago. Sadly, he knew this day would come. Becoming a sports broadcaster meant a lot of moving. And if you worked in radio, like Brick did, it meant a whole lot of moving. Sometimes it was fine, he hadn't really liked the stations he was broadcasting from anyways, or they were small towns with nothing to do. As he drove, he thought about what had happened during the past two years.
He had kept in touch with his family, which consisted of his dad. They had become very close after his mom had died during his junior year at college. Ovarian cancer struck her and struck her hard. In fact, it had caused him to miss the NCAA Big 12 championship game, but that seemed minor compared to being their for his father. He was a fair man who had taken pride in his son.
The last two years had been great for Brick. He had been able to spend a good amount of quality time with his father, and even rekindled his relationship with Bonnie Rockwaller, who had herself gotten out of a bad relationship.
Things had been going great for the two, but, unfortunately, the station that Brick was working for had gone under, and he found himself having to have to move again. He tried to find work at other stations in the Tri-city area, but, alas, there was no hope. He would have to move. The news did not sit well with Bonnie, who wound up breaking up with him.
Baby, if you're every wondering
Wondering, whatever became of me.
This time, however, he hoped he would be able to stay for longer than just a couple of years. He was heading out east, to Ohio, to work for a radio station there. WKRP were the call letters for the station that had asked him to come be a part of their crew.

Cincinnati, WKRP
The sports caster turned off one highway and onto another one leading to the section of Cincinnati where he would begin working. "Please let this be the last move for awhile," Brick said to himself.

Town to town, up and down the dial
Driving down the highway, he thought about Bonnie, and wondered what had become of her. The break-up was hard on both of them, but, Brick had to do this to keep from becoming a freeloader off of anyone. He swore, that once he was out of college, he was going to stand on his own two feet and make his mother proud of him, wherever she was.
Baby you and me were never meant to be
But maybe think of me once in awhile.

'Man, this sure is a long highway,' Brick thought to himself, and then after punching a button on his GPS, he realized that he was still a good fifteen miles away from his location, no thanks to the GPS. "Thanks, SamSam," Brick said with an edge.
Heading up that highway
Leaving you behind
"Man! Why didn't I think of Denver! That isn't to far from Middleton! Just an hours drive! Darn it!" Brick shouted out after a random thought passed through his head. And then, with a sigh, he sank back into the driver seat of his car and drummed on the steering wheel, his thoughts again turning to Bonnie.
Broke my heart in two
But baby pay no mind
The price for finding me
Was loosing you.
What was it about Bonnie that just drove him wild? It wasn't even the first time they had broken up. They had broken up when he had gone off to play college football. Of course, back then, it was easy for him to do. Bonnie was known as the Queen B. Ruler of Middleton High School. Over all not nice person. But, for some reason or another, he just, loved her. He couldn't explain it, but it was there. He. Loved. Her.
Memories help me hide my lonesome feeling
Far away from you and feeling low.
Of course, every time Brick thought of Bonnie, he started feeling depressed, upset, and lonely. No matter where he went, memories of her always came with him. It was even hard for him to form new relationships in the towns he worked in because of those memories. "No. Not again," Brick said aloud, shaking himself of his thoughts of Bonnie. "I'm going to do it this time. I'm going to stay in one city, and that girl will become just a memory of my past."
It's getting late my friend
My love I miss you so
Take good care of you
I've gotta go.
"Right turn ahead. Destination in two miles," SamSam said.
"Well, this is it. I'll meet with the station manager," Brick said and then started to sift through the papers on his dash. Finding the one he wanted, he brought it up to eye level. "A Mr. Gordon Jump," Brick read. "I'm gonna make it this time. No more Bonnie. I'm going to form a new life here. I'll meet with Mr. Jump, and then find a place," he said, giving himself a pep talk and trying to lift his own spirits.
Baby, if you're every wondering
Wondering whatever became of me.
Brick turned his car onto the street marked by his GPS and slowed down, easing into the stop and go traffic of the city streets. He could see the radio tower up ahead. His stomach started to turn knots, but, he was also found himself looking forward to his new station. "You're going to do it this time, Brick," he told himself, repeating it into a mantra to keep himself pumped up.

'Just three more stoplights,' Brick though as the traffic inched forward. Again, his thoughts shifted back to the brunette that had twice stolen his heart. However, this time, she wasn't going to keep him grounded. He would spread his wings, and he would never have to move again.

"Find nearest hotel," Brick said to his GPS as he pulled up to the final stop light.
"Daystay Inn. Distance, twelve blocks," SamSam said.
"Save location," Brick told it as he started to pull forward after the light turned green.
Baby you and me were never meant to be
But maybe think of me once in awhile.
Brick pulled his car into a parking spot and killed the engine. Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, he climbed out of his car and started to walk to the building. As he climbed the stairs, a friendly man with a bandage on his forehead gave him a cheerful, albeit a bit nervous sounding, hello. Brick returned the greeting and stopped after taking a hold of the door. He took in another deep breath and again let it out slowly. "Good-bye, Bonnie," Brick said as he walked into the building.
