The best episode was the great Thanksgiving turkey drop, whereby they think they are giving the public free turkeys by dropping them from helicopters, thinking they could fly, and it turned out to be a giant mess

Loni and Jan Smithers (Bailey) were the Ginger and Mary Ann of the late 70s/80s.

How so, was she a hoe?



Pretty sure she was "High Maintenance" to have around and whatever Burt did for her was never enough.

She spent all Burt’s money and was the beginnings of his financial issues which he never really recovered.

I was always more of a Bailey Quarters guy, but RIP Loni.

Yep, and just like "Gilligan's Island", give me the cute, downhome girl next door and you can have the high maintenance arm candy that was Ginger and Jennifer.

Jan Smithers and Dawn Wells were beautiful women who came off as well grounded people with an appreciation for simple things in life.

My mom went to FSU and knew Burt as Buddy Reynolds, a RB from West Palm Beach.

Burt was odd in that even the people who liked him were somewhat split on him. He could be really cool and generous to a fault. And then turn around and be an inveterate a-hole to those closest to him.
worked with a guy back in the 90s who went to highschool with him, definitely leaned more towards the “a-hole” description

funny, this guy was in his early 60s and bald as an egg, and he says Burt looked exactly like he did underneath the toupee and makeup

This is so weird.
Her bathing suit pic popped up on Saturday on a FB page I visit. Everyone was comparing her to Bailey and Farrah's iconic poster. I stated that Loni never did it for me. "Overly done" and "Her banana yellow hair always looked like she just took her motorcycle helmet off".
