5. I'd be the Russian hog expert
portrayed by Michael Pataki (who was also the Klingon who goaded Scotty into starting the bar fight in the Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles").

"We go to Cleveland and freedom! Ride in beeg car with tape deck! Seet in back seat with Bailey! Geet down!"

Sigh... Bailey... :loveya:

6. DOCTOR Johnny Fever to you!
"I'll get those records!"

But honestly, looking back at the 37-year stream
of ludicrous debacles which I call "my life"....
I'm a much handsomer, much POORER Arthur Carlson.

Honestly, as God is my witness: I thought turkeys could fly.

10. Jennifer.
My name's Jennifer, and I once worked (for a minute) as a radio station receptionist in Cincinnati.

It's a natural progression... plus, you gotta love her character.

12. maybe Andy Travis
I have good hair.

But, I see a little Les Nessman in me, a little Art Carlson and a bit of Johnny Fever, too.

Plus, if I was single, I could see myself recording a show to make out with a woman like Venus.

13. I was working in small town radio during WKRP....I WAS Dr Johnny Fever,
and my best friend, an Andy Travis clone, was program director. We had a Jennifer, a Bailey, a Les, and two versions of Venus Flytrap.

Trust me, some of the dumb shit we did comes close to dropping live turkeys from helicopters....

27. You know that Jan
was married to James Brolin for a long time. Her brother owned a farmhouse down in Cape Breton near Lake Whycogamagh in Nova Scotia. They used to go there for vacations.

Her role as Bailey was supposed to be somewhat tomboyish--plain Jane, because she was always being compared to Jennifer (Loni Anderson). She was the one that the guys thought of as one of their own. That's kind of what I see myself as--one of the gang, not a "standout" type female like Jennifer.

26. Oh man, and then some
Worked for six years in radio, and it was a blast. Got paid to have tons of fun(though it wasn't much)

Some of the shit we did was insane, like taking our 800 watt station down to CB frequency and breaking across the country. How we didn't get shut down by the FCC is beyond me, they must have only been listening from ten up to ten down.

I'm still tempted to jump back into radio, just for the fun of it. Pull a shift or two a week at the local community radion station. But I don't know. I was on air back when punk was really starting to take hold, and the energy, the frission, the knowledge that you were right out there on the bleeding edge of music probably wouldn't be there anymore.

Besides, six years of radio in my youth, headphones on and cranked, has left me with a nice little case of tintinitis, and I'm really thinking that I should preserve my hearing as much as possible these days. Still and all though, it could be fun.
