dr. johnny fever
dr. johnny fever never leaves the wkrp "family" of employees for the duration of the series, but in "the new wkrp in cincinnati" series, he has moved on to at least two more stations. he admits that the cincinnati job is a good situation for him, but does wonder from time to time about what he is missing by being "under wraps" and largely out of the national limelight by staying. he does return to wkrp for two two-part episodes in season 1; then, late in the second season, he steps in as temporary overnight disc jockey when the station's longstanding and never-seen jock, moss steiger, dies. johnny gets a full send-off near the end of the new series when he decides to return to los angeles.
