Happy Thanksgiving all! I could watch it a hundred times and I'd still laugh out loud on #101. WKRP Turkey Drop
I don’t remember that one!
It must be old age! Have they published the DVD set yet? I’d put that on my shelf with CSI.
after watching both I realized the msn version had sanitized the original music.The music in their version is generic guitar riffs, not the original, real songs
I have heard that the original music in the shows is the reason you don't see this show in syndication; the music would cost too much in royalties vs the amount made in reruns.
It is a shame that we don't have any genuinely funny shows, or even shows with genuine,"normal" people, on tv any longer.
Thank you for posting this! The loonies in my family, of whom I am the chief, were discussing this very WKRP episode as we gathered together for dinner today!
Thank you for posting this, and hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving.
This is part of Thanksgiving tradition now.
I dont know what season that was on.
Beware if you buy the DVD, they took out the orignal music and replaced it with genaric music. Something to do with copyright laws or royalites. Leave it to lawyers to suck all the fun out of things.
Ratz!
Being a RADIO STATION (!), music is PART OF THE SHOW!
Great post. Best episode ever! We laughed til we cried, along with everyone else.
I remember as a kid watching it...and I sat there for several hours laughing about it. Strangely enough...and I’ve never seen it done like that again...the week after that...they ran the exact same episode. Everyone watched it and it probably made an impression on people for years.
I know. The music was a part that made the show what it was.
Ditto that. Hysterically funny!
