THE HUMANITY!
Loni Anderson got me thru puberty.
I can remember me and my sister laughing sooo hard. That was the best
Big crush on Bailey growing up.
“I thought turkeys could fly.”
Edit: I wasn’t wondering, just quoting from the episode. Added quotation marks for clarity.
Oh man, I loved this show.
This amd the tornado episode are two of the funniest things ever on TV.
One of the best moments in television!
Guy in his 30’s here… can someone tell me what show this is?
Really funny episode. This was one of my favorite episodes. Also when Les mentions his good friend “Chy Chy Rodriguise”. Almost spit out the milk I wasn’t drinking at the time
Another great episode is when Johnny Fever drinks on air to demonstrate how alcohol adversely affects your reaction time etc. But the more he drinks, the better his reaction time gets. Hilarious
Absolutely the funniest Thanksgiving skit I ever saw. I never notice before that when Bailey is taking the cups of coffee out of the bag there are no tops on them.
Omg I am so thankful you posted this!!
Great memory from the past. They were such a great cast.
Fantastic!
I love watching the actors try to hold in their laughter.
One of the funniest episodes in the history of sitcoms.
As if they were organized!
Mr Carlsons cocaine foot powder was another great episode.
Haven’t seen the show in decades but I do remember the Band-Aids. Also the tape walls and insistence in people knocking on & using the “door”
This is such a classic show and this episode was their finest ever. Thank you for sharing this. Tears in my eyes laughing out loud at this.
🎶 Baby, if you’ve ever wondered,🎶
Wondered whatever became of me,
I’m livin’ on the air in Cincinnati, 🎶
Cincinnati, WKRP 🎶
The song he cues up after the live report is CCR’s “It Came Out of the Sky”
The hairdressers were 90% of the budget for this production. Like, holy shit that’s sure is….hair
I can smell it thru the phone
“as god is my witness, i thought turkeys could fly”
one of the all time great sitcom lines, along with
“and cincinnati?……BOOGER!”
My mother always described this as the funniest thing she ever saw on television, but I’d never seen it until now.

Is it just me, or does a helicopter pulling a banner in flight sound even more dangerous than the turkey thing?
This episode is still hilarious, and that shows was cool on so many levels. I really miss 70’s radio stations. Radio was way better before all the corporate consolidation and focus groups.
Who else hears the jingle?
WKRP in Cincinaaaatiiiiiiii
I used to work in radio for a number of years, and I can attest that this show was pretty much the most accurate portrayal of a radio station that ever existed. This was the favorite show of all the people I worked with, because they could absolutely relate to it.
Every Thanksgiving, my dad would start reminiscing about the show, quoting all the lines. He would crack himself up so hard, there would be tears running down his face and he couldn’t breathe.
