Keith showed clips from it the other night and it was nice to have it honored so.

[notadmblnd]

3. That was the funniest episode of any sitcom ever.

i laughed so hard, I cried.

[dixiegrrrrl]

27. Elaine's date with Louise on Taxi was right up there, too.

I fell off the couch on that one.

4. My Mom so loved that show and laughed so much at that episode

I will watch it and relive those wonderful memories of her-- gone now these many years, but never far from my mind.

:loveya: Thanksgiving blessings to all, especially those having a tough time of it. Somewhere know that someone is thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way..

5. Bless you ... I LOVE this episode

Oh, the humanity!

lol

6. They

can fly.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

7. Wild turkeys, yes (sort of)

Fat, domesticated turkeys, not so much.

[hootinholler]

19. Wild Turkeys fly very well.

Not sort of. Domestic fattened, bread for exceptionally large breasts, are capable of flapping their wings during a jump.

25. Smart, sneaky, FAST birds, too........

I remember thinking that if I EVER was successful in a wild turkey hunt (I wasn't, they're smarter than me), the sucker would've cost me the equivalent of $499.33 per pound.............

33. I saw one fly over my car while I was driving just last week

They don't fly often, but when they do, they can move.

[formercia]

34. Wild Turkeys make a lot of noise when they take off

They climb at a steep angle, then they glide almost silently for a considerable distance, depending on the cover.I don't hunt them but like to see how close I can get to them before they panic. There's a flock of a couple of dozen that come through our yard. They're surprisingly adaptable to human habitation.

18. We had wild turkeys in the branches of our backyard tree several times. The first

time I did not know what it was. They do fly. They are not overfed.

[benld74]

8. Ah yes,,, Johny Fever, Venus, Bailey remember it well

[cobalt1999]

9. Bailey was so hot.

The clothes add additional humor now too.

[Cheap_Trick]

10. Ah yes, The Bailey vs. Jennifer question.

The new Mary Ann vs. Ginger.



Bailey....in a heartbeat.

[XOKCowboy]

16. Every time...

Loved that show and had a major crush on Bailey.

[Javaman]

12. Mmmmm Bailey and cream....

:rofl:

[taterguy]

11. Is the Lounge full?

:shrug:

[ezgoingrl]

13. I remember watching this with my family.

My parents were laughing so hard neither one of them could breathe. Back then, my laughter was really a reaction to theirs. But I remember it like it was yesterday and I can't wait to share this with my kids! Thanks for posting this!

[DUgosh]

15. Classic TV

They don't make them like they used too. I loved that "turkey drop" episode. Cracks me up just thinking about it. More laughs, remember Lonnie Anderson speaking twelve languages a twist on the dumb blonde secretary?

[DFW]

14. Considering the fate of so many of them this week,

I'll bet there are plenty of turkeys that wished they could fly, too...

[kiva]

17. Thank you, my favorite episode.

Well, that one and the one where Venus explained the atom...why couldn't I have had a teacher like that?

[Rhiannon12866]

20. K&R. That episode of WKRP was the first thing I thought of when I read your subject line...

Keith Olbermann showed a clip of this just last week. A true classic. :hi:

[Shardik]

21. Poor Les Nessman.

"I think they were organized!"

K&R for a happy thanksgiving.

[cobalt1999]

22. Well, he is a five time winner of the Buckeye Newshawk Award!

[WolverineDG]

28. And the Silver Sow!! nt

[kitty1]

23. The only one known to fly does so on Air Force One n/t

[northofdenali]

24. I rarely watch sitcoms. WKRP was an exception -

and THIS episode is priceless. Thanks for the reminder - I'll "air" it tomorrow just before serving up dinner! Les Nessman .......... jeez........ :rofl:

[dixiegrrrrl]

26. Ohhh ..a giftie ...tyvm...

off I go to hulu

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Swamp Rat]

29. Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys.

Film at eleven. :D

[tabasco]

31. Send me some laundry money.

You always make me pee my pants.

[NNN0LHI]

30. I can't watch sitcoms. The canned laugh tracks eats my brain

If I need to be given a cue when something is supposed to be funny its not funny.

I have a father in-law who yucks it up like a goof ball anytime canned laughter comes on a TV. He don't even need to be watching the show. Big belly laugh too. I just shake my head.

32. I can't thank you enough! I have looked for this for years! (And your thread title ...

was IMHO the single funniest line ever uttered on network television.
