6. The turkeys are hitting the ground like bags of wet cement!
Ol' Les had a way with words.

7. *chortle*

Herb: When that farmer asked me what I wanted with twenty live turkeys, I had to do some pretty fast talking, let me tell you.
Les: What did you tell him?
Herb: I told him it was a secret.

Les: It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says, uh - Happy... Thaaaaanksss... giving! ... From... W.... ... K... ... R... ... P!!

Les: No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers... I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, Johnny, they're turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this!

Johnny: Les? Are you there? Les isn't there. (composing himself) Thanks for that on-the-spot report, Les, and for those of you who just tuned in, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys. Film at eleven.

8. Loved

WKRP. I just wish it would come out on DVD.

Also liked Bob Newhart's Thanksgiving show. The one where Emily was away and he Jerry and Howard got plastered and ordered about 200 plates of Mo Gu Gai Pan from a Chineese Resturant. Bob was yelling into the phone more Gu to go.

Also the Mad about You Thanksgiving episode where they were trying to buy the Turkey from a shop across the street and were trying to sneak it in past the guests and Murray ate one, and they threw one out of the window. They ended up like buying six of them from the shop keeper and I think ended up with none to eat anyway. LOL.

9. For some bizarro reason, I thought of that line while doing laundry
the other day and burst out laughing uncontrollably. My 7 yo son thought I'd lost it for sure.

Naturally, I posted it right here in the Lounge and was astonished by how many could identify it!

Funniest TV episode EVER; and that's including the Dick Van Dyke "Wrong Baby" episode, which owns the SECOND best (Van Dyke's expression at seeing Greg Morris as the "wrong baby's" father is incredible).

10. Remember
The phone cops' episode where Johnny Fever thought he was going to arrested for breaking a phone and he promised Andy he'd play Barry Manilow is long as Andy didn't let them get him.

The Tornado episode when they had a Japaneese tourist group with a Spanish interpreter?

Or the drunk test episode? I think that was my favorite of WKRP with Venus and the fishing hat and Herb dressed up like a giant carp. Darn I miss that show.
