I guess we could exchange recipes like all of the progressive talk shows.

This show never jumped.

One of my favorite shows ever! Wish we had more like it these days.

I'll bet Palin is one of those who would drop a frozen turkey into a deep fryer, though...

That would require paying writers who were thoughtful, intelligent, funny and talented. The ad revenue required today would be out of reach.

She's dumb enough to do that.

Amazing! It's nearly 30 years removed from the first broadcast and it still makes me laugh so hard that the tears are streaming down my cheek. Funny then, funny now! One of the top 20 funniest moments ever to be seen on the small screen.

I worked in radio for a few years and its the nightmare scenario for any promotion person, but on the funny side where only the turkeys protest.

Life imitating art. lamo

As soon as I saw Nessman (5 time winner of the Buckeye Newshawk Award), I started to laugh.



To my fellow WKRP fans, you can watch that particular episode for free at HULU (sadly there are some commercials).

I watch this episode whenever it airs. I still crack up when Less relates the attack.


Venus: Les! Are you okay?

Les: I don't know. A man and his two children tried to kill me. After the turkeys hit the pavement, the crowd kind of scattered, but some of them tried to attack me! I had to jam myself into a phone booth! Then Mr Carlson had the helicopter land in the middle of the parking lot. I guess he thought he could save the day by turning the rest of the turkeys loose. It gets pretty strange after that.

Andy: Les, c'mon now, tell us the rest.

Les: I really don't know how to describe it. It was like the turkeys mounted a counterattack! It was almost as if they were ...organized!!

Mr Carlson: As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
