YOu can see Loni Anderson turning away at Les's description to keep from laughing in the camera. The episode was THAT funny...I was watching it with my parents and we couldn't stop laughing. What a great show that was! It's actually funnier when Les is describing the action over the air about the turkeys hitting the ground like wet cement, and then it cuts to him doing a Hindenburg disaster rendition riff. "Oh, the humanity!"

Wild turkeys can fly, down hill & short distances. This was funny the day I watched it, but it Did Not “save the show” either you were a fan and watched the show or you missed this episode and were not able to see it again,

I swear to God that's the most unfunny recreation of the Hindenburg disaster I have ever seen. Zero funny. Zero laughter. The canned chortling makes it even worse. How did this turd ever make it past one episode?

"The telephone police!"

I still remember this,to funny.😅

I remember seeing this when it came on the air

"A man and his two children tried to kill me". That cracks me up every time.

As god is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly. 😂

I upload thos every year to my Social Media accounts. Its as much of a Thanksgiving tradition as the parades.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

I loved all the episodes,

Does anyone remember versions of this song that featured the names of high schools in a particular city? The one I heard was in Chicago but I think radio stations in other cities did this as well.

My station back in the day! SW Wisconsin. Loved it, great memory

Boogie check!

I'm 71 now and a retired professor. I grew up listening to the Big 89! Art Roberts, Larry Lujack, Ron Riley, Chris Eric Stevens and more! WLS and rock music help shape my life!!! Long live the memories of that 50,000-watt clear channel monster!!! Steve Souder in TN.

hope someone will make a version of this but this time from 1955-2024

Good afternoon John!!

This is incredible, Brad. Thanks for posting it!

Love this so much! Thank you for embellishing this with images. Such great '70s memories of all this music and of the montage as well.

BOOGIECHECK!!!! Music Radio WLS! Love Landecker!!

The show for blown-out parents and tweeked out teens. Listening to the AM in the PM. At the big, enormous, but not too gaudy, 89. 89-oh, Chicago.

A huge fuck you to the asshole who cancelled the show 😢

i remember the line, a mans name says alot about him, then went to les nesman

Thank you for this. This should make someone I know very happy.

The Decades network was airing WKRP every night at 12:30 AM Eastern through the end of 2022, which I enjoyed watching most nights. Then for '23 they replaced it with... the Bob Newhart Show (BOOOOO) I'll have to get the WKRP DVD set released in 2014 so I can keep watching it instead!

In the 1960's the gentlemen's debate was Ginger or Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island, then 15 years later it was Jennifer or Bailey on WKRP, then 20 more years later it was Jackie or Donna on That 70's Show.

This is one of my favorite all time comedy scenes but this version doesn't have the original song that Fever played.

One of the best shows ever.

Loved this show! RIP Johnny Fever (aka Howard Hesseman).

Howard was So good, no one even noticed the needle wasn't on the record grooves at the end.

I just love the fact that no record was playing at the end of the clip. The tone arm is on the label

I didn't know that he had passed, thanks for the update for the rest of us.

I doesn't matter where I am, I can't stop giggling when I think of the scene where Jennifer sings a song to Herb : " Happy.....Birthday.....To.....You....."

becasue they used real songs ont he show they cant play wkrp in syndication becasue it would cost to much for rights. sad

I always like the episode where they had the contest to guess all the songs and people kept getting it right.

Turkey drop was the best,also Venus turning himself in for desertion and the classy way they handled the who concert deaths

This show was bas d on the writers experience working at radio stations, Howard was a D.J. in the 1960s so he had the knowledge firsthand to portray Dr. Johnny Fever.

Q❤❤w😊

Nice to see the tribute at the end. Dr. JOHNNY Fever will always live on.

😘 sss

And his next scene: " I have killed a lot of old people in my time and I am NOT above doing it again!"

I enjoyed watching the show

Lost the rights to "Queen of the forest" from the CBS music stable of rockers used on the show, alas.
