My mom and I laughed until it hurt the first time we saw that episode.

17. Awesome show!

Les: It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says, uh - Happy... Thaaaaanksss... giving! ... From... W.... ... K... ... R... ... P!!

Les: No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers... I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, Johnny, they're turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this!

Johnny: Les? Are you there? Les isn't there. (composing himself) Thanks for that on-the-spot report, Les, and for those of you who just tuned in, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys. Film at eleven.

----------

Venus: Les! Are you okay?

Les: I don't know. A man and his two children tried to kill me. After the turkeys hit the pavement, the crowd kind of scattered, but some of them tried to attack me! I had to jam myself into a phone booth! Then Mr Carlson had the helicopter land in the middle of the parking lot. I guess he thought he could save the day by turning the rest of the turkeys loose. It gets pretty strange after that.

Andy: Les, c'mon now, tell us the rest.

Les: I really don't know how to describe it. It was like the turkeys mounted a counterattack! It was almost as if they were ...organized!!

Mr Carlson: As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

9. Definitely one of my favorite all-time sitcoms

:-)

[TheMightyFavog]

12. A sitcom that should have been out on DVD already.

Unfortunaley, a bunch of greedy record execs won't let MTM do that over music rights.

[Book Lover]

14. If I were a billionaire

I would make the WKRP dvds happen with the original music.

[KamaAina]

13. "Oh my God, they're turkeys! Oh, the humanity!"

Still possibly the greatest single moment in sitcom history.

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly..."

16. My favorite episode is the one where

Johnny and Venus have a highway patrolman as an on-the-air guest. They're going to help him demonstrate what happens when you drink too much. The patrolman measures their responses after each drink by having them ring a desk bell on his command.

Before they start, Venus is sober and focused; Johnny, of course, looks like he's drunk out of his mind (his normal state). By the end of the episode, after several drinks, Venus can't stay upright and Johnny is as sober as a stone.

I miss that show . . . .

18. I dunno why everyone cites the 'turkey' bit

To be sure, it was a hilarious and memorable teevee moment, but it wasn't the funniest bit KRP ever had. That one, IMO, goes to Mr. Carlson in a bit they might have thrown in just to pad for time.

I can't remember which episode this was in, but Carlson was having problems with the blinds in his office. He'd pull the cord and one side would go up, then the other, etc. etc. etc. In the meantime, Andy walked into the office and just stood there, watching. Finally, Carlson pulled on the cord one last time, and the blinds came crashing down.

Carlson turned around, saw Andy, stood there in an absolutely brilliant piece of comedic timing (as the audience screamed) and finally blurted, "Well, whadda YOU want, dammit?!?"

Thought I was gonna die. :rofl:

There's scarcely an end to the list of hilarious moments on KRP. :thumbsup:

21. I've had dinner with Tim Reid and his wife, Tim was "Venus Flytrap"

Cool guy. He and his wife Daphne Maxwell Reid, have a small production facility in Petersburg, VA, outside of Richmond. They make small independent films there. A tough gig.
