Someone mentioned WKRP in one of our earlier threads, so I am forced to provide the greatest WKRP clip ever:
As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.
Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.
Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.
Impressively dumb. Congratulations.
And we’re all out of bubblegum.
When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.
The GOP is a fucking disgrace.
Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.
Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.
This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.
Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.
“woke” is the new caravan.
I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.
“Squeaker” McCarthy
Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?
Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?
The words do not have to be perfect.
They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.
DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.
They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.
Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.
You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.
Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity
It’s the corruption, stupid.

Awesome show.
Did anone else think Bailey was hotter than Jennifer?
Ned Raggett
One of those shows that, after I did radio on a small level for a decade, rings truer with time.
Walker
Everyone thought that. Well, except maybe for Burt Reynolds.

I’d take Bailey over Jennifer. Mary Anne over Ginger too.

From the title, I thought it would be clip from this show.
Mr Furious
Bailey was hotter than Jennifer?
First thing I was reminded of while watching the clip. That was a good show.

Great clip, John…I LOVED WKRP, wish there was something as good on the telly these days.
Bailey v. Jennifer…Bailey, without a shadow of a doubt.
Mary Anne over Ginger, too – no question.
I think Gilligan & the Skipper were just a little too “Little Buddy – Big Buddy”, if ya’ know what I mean…not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you.

Mmm…Andy’s tight, tight jeans. He was my first childhood crush.

Oh, thank you–we needed that. Now if only we could live in WKRP until 2009.

That and the Barney Miller hash brownies episode are tied for my all-time personal favorite.
Ah, the ’70s.
Tom Hilton
Ohhh, the HUMANITY!!!!
Bailey was infinitely sexier than whatsername. I can’t even imagine anyone (except Burt Reynolds) finding whatsername more attractive.

O/T but…

Anytime someone says Barney Miller I think of that episode.
Shepherd Book from Firefly was on that show right?

Seems to be a theme today.

Yup. Ron Glass played Det. Harris.

Gotta put in a good word for the funeral of Chuckles the Clown. A classic.

The funniest moment in network series television ever. Loved the Les Nessman takeoff on the broadcast of the Hindenberg disaster.
WKRP was the only network television show I ever watched with a box of Kleenex handy. Most of the time, I laughed so hard tears were running down my face.
I hear there’s a CD collection coming out, but because of copyright and royalty problems, the original rock soundtrack is missing and generic stuff has been substituted. Too bad.

That was a great ep of WKRP, but my favorite scene was when Johnny Fever and Venus were on the air in a drinking contest whereby a doctor measured their blood alcohol & had them try a driving simulator.

Yes, Bailey was a hottie.
I remember watching WKRP in syndication as a child and I had fond memories of it. By odd coincidence, I was sent a copy of Season One on DVD to review for my blog and surprisingly, the show aged very, very well.

“I don’t know how to describe it. It was like the turkeys were mounting a counterattack.”
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

Second favorite WKRP line ever “Those phone cops play hardball!”
Dino
Bailey was hotter than the cores of a thousand suns.
