"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly"

Episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati"
I remember it from the 70's

That was a classic, fer sure.

That was one of the best episodes ever.  LOL

I was looking at that yesterday.  Love that clip, hilarious.  Another favorite line goes something like this: It's as if the Turkeys mounted a defense.  

No doubt.

It's as if they were... organized...

Oh the humanity

I've seen the clip tons of times, but haven't seen the whole episode in forever. Why did Les say, "No, I can't go in there!" when he turned to go into the store?

The shoe salesman?  I think he may have made a pass at him?  I know they had a fight

He got booted out earlier.

Phone Cop's

I love the one when Johnny Fever's reflexes got faster the more he drank.

And even after all these years we remember the characters names like we knew them.

God hates mobile homes

Classic!

Wet bags of cement.

They can.



 

I may be sorry for asking this but, I have a question.  Can they fly? I dont mean like an eagle, but like short distances?

Wild ones can. Smaller tame ones can.

35 lb mutant domestic freak turkeys?  Not so sure.

They roost in trees, do you think they are great climbers?

It was weak and stupid.  It was only funny at the time because most everything else was week and stupid, too.

Flame away.

No, it was brilliant and inspired.  

What weekly sitcom today can boast writing like this:

Les Nessman: It's flying something behind it and I can't quite make it out. It's a large banner and it says H A P P Y... T H A N K S... giving... from W... K... R... P! What a sight, ladies and gentlemen. What a sight. The 'copter seems to circling the parking area now. I guess it's looking for a place to land. No! Something just came out of the back of a helicopter. It's a dark object, perhaps a skydiver plummeting to the earth from only two thousand feet in the air... There's a third... No parachutes yet... Those can't be skydivers. I can't tell just yet what they are but... Oh my God! They're turkeys! Oh no! Johnny can you get this? Oh, they're crashing to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! This is terrible! Everyone's running around pushing each other. Oh my goodness! Oh, the humanity! People are running about. The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Folks, I don't know how much longer... The crowd is running for their lives. I think I'm going to step inside. I can't stand here and watch this anymore. No, I can't go in there. Children are searching for their mothers and oh, not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this. I don't know how much longer I can hold my position here, Johnny. The crowd...

WKRP



Where there's more music and Les Nessman

I'd call dupe but this is yet another opportunity for me to call attention to my sig.
