The Infamous WKRP Thanksgiving Turkey Drop (1978)

This is it... the infamous 1978 "turkey Thanksgiving giveaway" as reported LIVE from the Pinedale Shopping Center by crack newsman Les Nessman for WKRP (in Cincinnati)! The full episode is "Turkeys Away" from season one. A classic clip!

"... curious, but well behaved..." Happy Thanksgiving 2022 folks!

This is one of the funniest episodes in all of comedy shows! I saw it when it originally aired, and I can still watch it (😂😂😂) and laugh. What a brilliant piece of work!

All time fav TV episode ever!

The episode from Taxi when Jim Ignatowski goes to the DMV to get his driver's license. It's a toss up between the two...

[@charlenemack7040]

@@danrodrigues3531 they both get a 100% thumbs up from me. And merry Christmas, seasons greetings, happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa, happy Festivus to you and yours. Please pick one of those, or more! 😂😂😂

History of *radio.*
WKRP forever!

The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!

[@WildwoodClaire1]

Greatest scene in the history of TV comedy.

[@johnhunter2294]

Top 5 for sure, up there with Jim's driving test on "Taxi", Chuckles the Clown's funeral on "Mary Tyler Moore", and "The Dentist" and "Went With The Wind" from "Carol Burnett".

I was born and raised in Cinti. I laugh so hard to this day at this episode. :)

Wild turkeys CAN fly. Domesticated ones cannot.

I wouldn't want to be aboard a copter that's pulling a banner.
