5. One of the classic lines of all time!
Every time I think about the "turkey episode," I have to smile. If others are around who remember the episode and we start talking about it, it isn't long before we're all laughing.

16. Oh, the huge Manatee


Les Nessman:

“It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says, uh - Happy... Thaaaaanksss... giving! ... From ... W ... K ... R... P!! No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers... I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, Johnny, they're turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this!”

2. The triplets' mother was learning to read about the time WKRP debuted....
and was very in to sounding out works. She looked at the TV Week that had it on the cover and read "http://-krap". I damn near laughed myself sick and told her it was supposed to be read WKRP...like the alphabet. Jeez, now she is at that stage with the triplets. Was that REALLY damn near 30 years ago???

14. Richard Sanders and Gordon Jump both had
outstanding comedic timing. That was part of what made the show work so well.

In the episode where Les was banned from the Reds' clubhouse because some players thought he was gay, he was standing on the ledge of the Flim Building, nine floors up, when the player called to apologize.

Les took the phone and said, "Hello? Les Nessman speaking.

(pause)

"Not much."

:rofl:

10. Trivia about that:
Richard Sanders actually got a boo-boo before they shot the first episode and decided to work it in as part of his character.

8. You forgot Lucille
"Oh — well, there's the Little House on the Prairie. It's a fine, wholesome show. It's about blind children out West, and every week they have a fire or someone gets an incurable disease. Oh, we enjoy it very much!"

:rofl:



Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

20. My favorite episode was the one with Herb and his family
I think it was when he invited a tv show to follow his family for a weekend, trying to come off as a perfect all american family.

"Come kids, uh, lets get up and go to church!"

And the camera crew follows their car driving aimlessly trying to find a church and Herb ends up pulling into a synagog parking lot.

"Herb, honey I think that's a synagog they're not open on Sundays are they?"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
