[imanamerican63]

2. One of the funniest & best shows ever!

The crap shows they have today couldn’t hold a candle to “WKRP”!

[Nuffer]

3. As God is my witness

That was the funniest episode ever on WKRP! Les doing the helicopter blade noise and frozen turkeys pelting people as they run for cover! Hysterical...

[doc03]

5. They were live turkeys, well until they hit the ground they were nt

[Beartracks]

8. Exactly.

I loved that show. I absolutely loved it.

[Dr. Strange]

35. How has that not become a Thanksgiving tradition?

Like "It's a Wonderful Life", but with turkeys.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

44. Because CBS replaced the original rock music with generic studio band crap for the episodes.

28. Oh, the memories!

That was truly a classic.

[underpants]

13. Only the 7th episode of the series.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0742671/

I’ve read elsewhere that the Cast in the booth were not told what was going to happen.

[11 Bravo]

37. At the end of the clip, Jennifer and Bailey are obviously cracking up ...

Andy had to turn away from the camera, and the rest of the cast was struggling to keep it together.
One of the funniest sitcom episodes EVER!

[LiberalArkie]

[Hugin]

22. ...

I love the typo... :grrouphug:

It sounds like aggressive affection. I may start using it.

[malaise]

24. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Happy Thanksgiving - I'm leaving it.

[Hugin]

26. Good.

The world really needs more aggressive affection. :grrouphug:

[George II]

[orangecrush]

23. Happy Thanksgiving

[Dukkha]

25. Back in the day when our whole media

was a mere three channels and a PBS station that would all sign off at midnight.

I also loved this episode because it had Pink Floyd's "Dogs"

[Hekate]

30. Kick Rec Bookmark! Oh the humanity....

[Earth Bound Misfit]

31. "Oh the humanity!" Kick n Rec.

[NewJeffCT]

32. Never realized this until last year, but this is based on a REAL event

though, the turkeys were tossed out of a truck by a local radio station

46. The best thing about the show was that in some ways

it was almost a documentary. Oh, the technical aspects were all wrong, but the characters were spot on. The burned out Boss Jock (Dr Johnny Fever was based on Skinny Bobby Harper from WQXI), the cool night jock, the squirrely news guy, the clueless GM, the sex pot receptionist, the sales slug, the sweet girl, and the PD trying to make it all work. I worked with everyone of those people at one time or another — sometimes at the same station. The only one missing was the nut case engineer who rarely showered.

33. Laugh every single time!

Thank you.
