1. I agree.. Loved WKRP n/t

[MorningGlow]

2. Brilliant!

We still sputter "The humanity!" quite often around the MorningGlow household in memory of this ep of WKRP. A classic!

:yourock:

[Hugin]

3. Hahahahahahaha!

I don't even have to watch the youtube!

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. That just cracked me the fuck up.

Absolutely brilliant.

:rofl:

[blondeatlast]

5. Absolutely. As inventive as it gets (gad I'm old!) nt

[QMPMom]

6. I absolutely loved WKRP! I had such a crushon the

Dr. Johnny Fever character.

[KennedyGuy]

7. I remember that..

Still funny to this day.

[leftofthedial]

8. one of the greatest lines ever on TV

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. I've always thought there were even funnier bits

in KRP. But who am I to argue with the masses? :shrug:



That bit with Carlson fighting a losing battle with the Venetian blinds, though — heebus, that damned near killed me. :rofl:

And then there was Johnny and the Phone Cops...

And... and... and...

"What can we do for you, Venus?"

"I wanna hat!"

:rofl:

And... and... and...

"Right down the drain! ... with Les Nessman!"

:rofl:

[Sugar Smack]

13. And...and...and... Johnny being fired for saying,

"BOOGER"!!!!!



:rofl:

[Shakespeare]

17. And...and....when Les Nesman decided he wanted to do sports...

And kept pronouncing the golfer's name "Chai Chai Rod-ruh-GEZ"

:rofl:

[gmoney]

20. and the tiny dog breed "Chai Huwah Huwah"

I think Les also had a bandage visible in every episode

[seemunkee]

22. And golfer Chai Chai Rod Ra Gweez

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. 'He finished with a 9-under-par score.

"Hopefully, Mr. Rod-wi-gweeze will play up to par in his next tournament."

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. He did, and that was improv of sorts

Before they shot the first episode, he bumped his head (I think) and had a Band-Aid on it. He decided to make it part of his character.

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. The best Les-sports episode

and one of the best episodes period was when he got banned from the Reds' clubhouse because a rumor started that he was gay. The bit when he's out on the ledge was absolutely classic!

The player calls to apologize and they hand the phone to him on the ledge.

"Hello? Les Nessman speaking.

(pause)

"Not much."

:rofl:

And when Carlson stuck his head out the window, holding a dictionary...

"'Fardels,' Les..."

:rofl:

[sarge43]

18. I loved the episode when Johnny messes with

Herb by telling him Jennifer was the end result of the most cunning sex change operation in history.

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Remember the LOOK on his face when he said that?

I swear, I thought fire was gonna shoot out of his eyes. :rofl:

LOL! And the one where they met with Vicki Von Vicki (Dr. Joyce Brothers) to try to get the account for her line of jeans, and Herb met a woman in the hotel and got it on with her and then she told him she'd had a sex change.

Poor Herb. He was such a schmuck. :rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

30. I remember when they came back to the station

How did it go?

Well, she's not going to sue us.

[blondeatlast]

35. That ranks up there with the moment in the "Wrong Baby" episode of

"The Dick Van Dyke show" when Rob opens the door to see Greg Morris standing there.

JUst perfect moments in TV history.

[Homer Wells]

28. Carlson, beating on his foot, saying

"I've got a monkey on my foot!!!!!!!!"


:rofl:

[KatyaR]

10. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I LOVE that episode--I wonder how many people actually think turkeys can fly? I bet it's a lot.

I absolutely adored that series. Remember the episode when Johnny and Venus went live on the air with a highway patrol officer? They were going to drink alcohol and test how their reflexes reacted. Venus got totally smashed, but while Johnny started out totally stoned, by the end of the episode he was as sober as a stone. The cop couldn't understand it . . . .

Happy Turkey Day, everybody, and look out for those turkeys!!

[Lochloosa]

34. Uhh....Turkeys can fly..

CAN WILD TURKEYS FLY?

Wild turkeys can and do fly. Although these birds may sometimes weigh over 25 pounds, their strong muscles and wings allow them powerful flight over short distances. However, adults rarely fly with continuous wingbeats for more than about 1/8 mile. When gliding with periodic wingbeats-- such as flying downslope-- turkeys can fly about 1 mile without difficulty. Their flight speed has been estimated as up to 55 to 60 mph. By nature, however, turkeys are "cursorial" (running) birds and they prefer to move about and escape on foot except when startled or severely chased.

[Spider Jerusalem]

11. No, this is:

"Would you stop talking about the war?"

"Me? You started it!"

"We did not start it!"

"Yes, you did! You invaded Poland!"

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. 'I will take your orders

...orders which must be obeyed at all times! I mean... uh... trespassers will be strung up with piano wire. Sorry! Sorry!"

:rofl:

[Dukkha]

12. the only sitcom to never Jump The Shark

I so miss that show!

[sarge43]

19. No. Every episode was good

Some better than others, but not a stinker in the bunch.

[Sugar Smack]

14. That was SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

:rofl:

That brings back such memories. Where did QUALITY go?

[merh]

15. I agree with you

And second to that sitcom and that clip would be:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlHmkKo-kvw























:rofl: From Taxi -- Jim Ignatowski takes his driver's test.. :rofl:

.

[sarge43]

16. Second best moment

Johnny, "For those of you who've just turned in, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys. Film at eleven."

[wildhorses]

21. Happy Turkey Day

psst, I hear they are getting organized :P

[LynneSin]

29. Morning Thanksgiving Kick

:kick:

[NewJeffCT]

31. they addressed some serious issues in a great way, too

I remember the censorship episode where the Jerry Falwell-like character tried to get the station to drop rock 'n' roll music... and, one of their long-time advertisers was pressured into dropping his account: Red Wigglers, the Cadillac of Worms.

Or, the episode after the real life deaths at the Who concert in Cincy...

Or, when Arthur Carlson runs for city council and they find out the incumbent was an alcoholic. When Carlson blurts it out, he feels guilty & tries to throw the election... then you hear Les on the phone: "This is Deep Throat again. Did you know that when Arthur Carlson is home, he likes to lounge around - in a dress?"

Or, some of the episodes dealing with racism - Venus getting picked up for robbery & going on trial, or where he volunteers to try to help a young gang member stay in school ("All you told me about was a bunch of gangs living in a round neighborhood.")

[Love Bug]

32. My favorite sitcom ever!

Did y'all know Richard Sanders sang the opening theme? I swear it's him...

[GalleryGod]

33. Good. But barely in the Top 50.

Doesn't even make it past Rev. Jim taking the driving test on "Taxi".

John DeBella was inspired by that moment, though, and the WYSP Turkey Drop got 5,000 turkeys to give out this year !

WEll done, John!
