WKRP-Turkeys Away Episode

“They’re hitting the ground like bags of wet cement”

Les Nessman's call is one of the GOAT scenes in TV history

I've seen the episode at least 1000 times and LMAO every time.

I remember watching the episode when it first ran as a kid. I was crying from laughing so hard. One of the best TV comedy episodes ever.

That show had moments of pure gold: the turkey drop, the phone cops, shite that just isn't even approached nowadays.

Remember when Andy told Herb that Jennifer was "the most successful sex-change operation ever", and Herb came over and just stared at her, trying to decide if that really mattered?

Pretty sure Johnny told Herb.

And it was the most diabolically successful sex change operation in medical history

The episode that Johnny and Venus were drinking on the air with a police officer to show how alcohol affects people was hilarious! Johnny kept getting better the more he drank.

Johnny Fever ranks up there with The Fonz as coolest characters ever on TV.

I’ve never seen this show but my father still talks about this episode and almost cries laughing

It's really a fantastic show. Quite a few episodes are pretty generic and meh, but there are some that rank up there with anything ever made.

A lot stems from the brilliance of both the Les Nessman and Johnny Fever characters.

The fight with WPIG mascot and Les in the WKRP carp outfit in the drinking episode is pure comedy gold.
