Less Nessman WKRP and the turkey episode

[toronto_bill 0]

Okay for all of you who remember the show...

if you threw a turkey out of a plane at say 1000ft, would it be able to glide and land safely? Or would it die as Less described, like little bags of wet cement?

Yeah Im bored and easter is coming soon.

ROFL! I have no idea what the answer is, but I loved that episode. Classic! (Poor little turkeys.)

"Do I hear dogs barking ?"

"I do."

"When in doubt I whip it out,
I got me a rock-and-roll band.
It's a free-for-all."

That episode was based on a real promo a radio station did one year for turkey day!

I know of an incident where a chicken was chucked out of a plane a 2 grand. Reportedly, it flapped its wings for a while, but then seemed to get tired, then folded up its wings and went in.

Awesome show. Too bad I never saw this episode in its entirety.

Saw some of it though, thanks for the link Ryoder :-)

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

That show was great (Less and his taped office walls) and of course this episode was a classic. A few years ago WKRP was shown in syndication reruns and I caught a number of shows.

Thanks for the good memories peeps ...

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Actually that quote is from The Big Guy (Arthur Carlson) on his return to the station.

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

CNN just reported that that episode along with the rest of season one is coming out on DVD.

I totally agree it was the "BIG GUY", as called by Herb Tarlack. I always loved "Bailey" and wondered what happened to her. Loni was no slouch but Bailey was so adorable. I always related the show to reality. I have been in offices just like that. " The Office out now is almost like it without the nepotism. They have a skydiving poster too.A lot of people wouldnt believe how close "Bettle Bailey" is to real Army life .. If any one has a picture of the base ball game with Bailey and Lomi in shorts . I would like to do as Rodney Dangerfield said about Farrah Fawcetts poster " Hold it up with one hand in the bathroom" Any one remember Less and CHI-CHI Rodwekweze?

If you watch enough of the WKRP shows, Johhny Fever often wore "Black Death" t-shirts on the show. He even had a Black Death poster up in the broadcast booth for a while, but that was for a band with that name.

My favorite Johnny Fever T-shirt was the "Your Name Here" one.
Actually had one made up just like it.
