Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Los Angeles radio station QSKY has become a ratings juggernaut under the guidance of hip, passionate program director Jeff Dugan (played by Michael Brandon). The executives who own the station naturally see it as an opportunity to make lots and lots of money by flooding the airwaves with ads. Meanwhile, the personal lives of the DJs are also in turmoil: Mother (Eileen Brennan) is burnt out with the radio lifestyle and wants to quit; Doc (Alex Karras) has been losing his audience and is on the verge of being fired; Eric Swan (Martin Mull, in his movie debut) has fantasies about becoming a game show host and ignores his affectionate girlfriend; Dugan himself has the hots for Laura (Cassie Yates), who isn't sure she's ready for a steady relationship. A laid-back comedy, FM is deeply, deeply '70s. It portrays its radio heroes as if they were as significant as the rock music they spin. When the corporate suits try to force Dugan to play ads for the U.S. Army, the DJs occupy the station in protest, setting off a near riot. (The irony, of course, is that the music QSKY plays is all top-40 hits of the '70s.) FM features appearances by Tom Petty, Jimmy Buffet, REO Speedwagon, and extensive concert footage of Linda Ronstadt. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Retro fun!I loved this movie - it brings us back to simpler times and GREAT music. It's definetly a refreshing change from the movies of today. I love the cast in this, and it was great to see REO Speedwagon appear. The movie's worth it just to see the talented and gorgeous Gary Richrath! Rating: - There's fever in the funk-house now!Although asking for bill is a bit..."steep" for the product, just remember this: that Linda Ronstadt performance of "Tumbling Dice," with Waddy Wachtel playing better slide guitar than Keef or Woody, about 3 quaters of the way thru "FM" justifies whatever you want to pay for the movie, VHS or DVD. Rating: - Great movieI love radio movies and this is one of the best, unfortunatly this will probobly never be on DVD becouse of its great soundtrack. If you like classic rock & 70's type humor this one is well worth a look. Rating:  - Why does this cost so much??? My rating is adjusted low because of same...I truly enjoyed this film when it came out, thus, I kept looking for it on Amazon. I was excited when it finally came under the "notify me" category, but at this price? No way will I purchase this. Can anyone explain just why the price is so high on this DVD release? Thanks in advance! [ because the flick is great, it's a 4+ star...but the price is prohibitive so I give it a 0 because I won't even consider to purchase it at this price.

Mike Brandon, Eileen Brennan and Mar- tin Mull star in station fighting the implementation of too mcuh commer- cialism (and commercials!) onto their play list. Only thing that could have made this better would have been an appearance by Cheap Trick! Or Boston! Browse for similar items by category:
