:popcorn:

[RoyGBiv]

1. It's the phone cops!!!

Thppttt. :-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. 'Johnny, there's no such thing as phone cops!'

"Oh, sure — cover for them!"



:D

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

23. "You didn't see me! You didn't see me!"

[geardaddy]

2. Chi-chi Rodriguez

"Chai Chai Rodrigweez"

[Orsino]

29. That's MISTER Rodrigueez. n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

3. "Do your job, but don't do too much of it."

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. ???

I thought I was one of the biggest KRP freaks on the planet, but I dunno that line. :shrug:

[EstimatedProphet]

6. Jennifer Marlowe

She said it maybe in the episode where she took over as Ask Arlene, I think.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. As Arlene?

Or as Jennifer?



That kinda explains it, though. I didn't think much of Jennifer as a character or Loni Anderson as an actor, so I didn't pay as much attention to the episodes that featured her.

(Exception: The two-parter where the scummy photographer got nekkid pics of her. Part two with Johnny and Bailey masquerading as upscale magazine folks to get the photos and negs was a freakin' classic — though I hated the last line, when she looks at the photos just before burning them and says, "Perfect."

(Oh — and the one with the "radio doctor," Andy's old friend, Morris Breeze. When she dumbed down as part of their "Gaslight" job on him, she was great.)

[EstimatedProphet]

35. As Jennifer

[lizziegrace]

7. N-E-S-T-L-E-S

Nestles makes the very best


chocolate...


;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Oh, shit!

That was CLASSIC! With the hands and everything! *clomp*



"When?" :rofl:



Gawdz, I loved Bailey. :loveya:

[lizziegrace]

15. That was a great episode

There's a chair over there, and one over there and one...no, that's a clock.

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. 'Ohhh, Mister BREEzyyyy!'

One of the few times I liked Jennifer. :D



LOL! And Venus mugging Johnny in the hall. :rofl:









Speed kills, Del.

[lizziegrace]

19. Mr. Travis

you've been a very naughty boy...

Mama Carlson was not amused. ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. She rarely was

The time she was hitting on him being a notable exception.



OMD! Hirsch!



"WHERE have you been?!?"

"Mardi Gras, madam."

:rofl:

[NoGOPZone]

8. The ad jingle for the funeral home

"Yes, You're young and swinging, with no time to think about tomorrow
but there's no denying it, one day you're going to buy it"

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. 'Ferriman! Ferriman!

He's the man with the plot, the man with the pla-an!"

:rofl:

[theredpen]

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

First one! :woohoo:

[MrCoffee]

13. Johnny: Well, go back in there and get the albums.

Venus: Need I remind you that the police are going to search every inch of this station, including your desk drawer?

Johnny: I'll go get those albums.

[zanne]

18. Johnny reading the weather...

"OMG! A GIANT LIZZARD IS HEADING OUR WAY! A GIANT LIZZARD"! "Oh, never mind. That was a typo. A giant blizzard is heading our way."

[MrCoffee]

20. LMFAO

:rofl:

[dolo amber]

14. "You know, when everyone's out to get you,

paranoid's just a good way to be..."

:D

[pokerfan]

16. BOOGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(my personal favorite)

[KamaAina]

21. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are off the air!"

"Uh, Les? We're, uh, off the air."

"I know! That what I'm telling everybody!!"

"But, Les, we're off the air. That means nobody can hear us."

"Oh."

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. 'Well... I can include that in my update'

:rofl:



No, wait — I kicked it. It was "No... but I can include that in my update."

[KamaAina]

25. Best Visual "Line"

Jennifer gently lifts the gigantic rug off Les' head. He goes through an entire date with her (set up just to spite Herb, of course) without realizing that he is "bald again, naturally."

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. And the bit where he's getting ready

just. does. NOT. work without "Hot Blooded," as in the original.

[Va Lefty]

27. During the Drunk Driving promotion...

State Trooper: (To Johnny) You have obviously built up a super-human tolerance to alcohol.
Johnny: Yes, it's true. It was once sort of a hobby of mine.

[Orsino]

28. "I will not be told how to run my life by a man in a white belt."

"Good God, man, we were having tea."

[texas1928]

30. One of the funniest that really did not have lines in it.

Was the episode when Johnny and Venus were messing around, and Johnny tackles Mrs. Carlson. That was hilarious.

[cordelia]

31. Les on the "godless tornadoes" n/t

[LisaM]

32. "Where are these lines"?

It was the episode where the Big Guy's wife had a baby and the WKRP staffers all went to the hospital to see the baby. They had a funny scene where they'd come in one at a time and a harrassed nurse would give them directions to the room by following various colored lines painted on the floor. They all thanked her and went to the room, except for Dr. Johnny Fever, who just continued to stare at her after she went through her spiel, and then said, as if expecting to see them floating in the air, "Where are these LINES?"

I thought I was going to fall off my chair laughing.

[sarge43]

33. She's the result of the most cunning sex change operation in history.

[Guava Jelly]

34. Venus Flytrap teaches the atom to a thug.

http://www.littleshopofvoices.com/atom.mp3
And gives a troubled kid a little direction.
You should hear this :)

[tuvor]

36. Arthur Carlson: "I've got 'happy feet'!!!"

[Maccagirl]

37. "Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer"

Visiting Russian "hog expert" to Bailey.

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. YES!

Absolutely my favorite episode. :D

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

(That was Michael Pataki, otherwise cultishly known as Korax, the Klingon who started the bar fight by antagonizing Scotty in "The Trouble With Tribbles.")

[bumblebee1]

38. Jennifer to Herb

Jennifer: The only thing I have for you, Herb, is the mail.

[Dukkha]

39. "That sounds like communism to me"

The Jerry Falwell type preacher after reading the lyrics to Imagine

and after he threatens a boycott on WKRP to Carlson:
"Well then, I'll have to do what is says in the good book, learn to love my enemy."
You're gonna have to, because I don't think you can trust your friends."

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. That was a great episode

because it addressed a real issue.

Notice the resemblance between Richard Paul, who played Dr. Bob Halyers, and Falwell?

[bmbmd]

42. I am fabulously weallthy.

43. Ree-eed Wigglers, the Cadillac of worms!

Ree-eed Wigglers, the Cadillac of worms!
Ree-eed Wigglers, the Cadillac of worms!
Ree-eed Wigglers, the Cadillac of worms!

:evilgrin:

[chemenger]

44. Here are a few notables:

"... But the senator, while insisting he was not intoxicated, could not explain his nudity."

Les: Bailey, you're his friend. What do you really know about Venus?
Bailey: You promise not to tell?
Les: I swear.
Bailey: Well, uh... you're gonna think this is a little crazy at first, but uh... I think he's black.

Herb: This morning, Venus Flytrap threatened Les Nessman physically, then tried to stick Ecktochrome into my mouth.

And in fact, there are many examples in history of hogs replacing horses. In the ninteenth century, an Englishman trained swine and drove four in hand through London with these curious steeds. Altogether with its potentialism repressed as it ordinarily is, the pig is a veritable Pandora's Box of exciting possibilities. This has been Les Nessman with a wrap-up of today's major news stories.

Mr Carlson as his plastic raft inflates itself on his desk: Uh oh!
Bailey: Nice raft.
Mr Carlson to himself: If I could just figure a way to deflate this darn thing... I'll never get it through that door. Ooh, I hate to do this. (He holds a pair of scissors, point down, above his head)
Andy, entering: Hi.
Mr Carlson: Hi Travis, c'mon in.
Andy: Sacrificing rafts?

Les Nessman: What is an executrix?
Herb Tarlek: Oh it has to do with whips, chains, and leather. That sort of thing.

Remember, Red Wigglers, the Cadillac of worms. Available in fine worm shops everywhere.

As you can see, there are just too, too many memorable quotes from this show.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

45. Cincinnati is under attack by the Godless Tornadoes

I lived in Cincinnati for almost twenty years, and every time we had a tornado, I'd chuckle a little bit when the warning would come on the air.

[Orrex]

46. "Let's you and me swap hats"

Venus to a cop during a protracted demonstration of reflex-testing in increasingly inebriated subjects.

If memory serves, the good Dr. Johnny Fever's reaction times improved steadily the drunker he became.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

47. She called me obtuse!

I think that's how Les said it...........he was quite proud! :)
