Wasn't the shark in Jaws called "Bruce?" - off-screen, not in the movie. See 4 other replies

I haven't seen WKRP since it went off the air in the early 80's. The shows were so memorable, especially the Turkey giveaway which is a classic! I can't wait until there are more seasons of WKRP to see in the near future. Can't get enough!

No, in this instance, Bruce was referring to someone in particular. I can't remember if it was Bruce Jenner or some other sports star but I seem to recall it being about someone famous at the time. See 4 other replies

I don't think "Bruce" has anything to do with baseball. The name "Bruce" was synonymous with a gay male in the late 70's, that is it was the stereotypical name for someone who was gay. See 4 other replies

I do remember as a kid knowing who the Bruce reference was but it's been so many years ago I can't remember who it's referring to. Wonder if there's anything on the web about it. See 4 other replies

so when Les is talking to the ball player on the phone near the end, and mentions his name is Bruce, there seems to be an inside joke. who could they be referring to? i don't know baseball, esp. from the late 70s. See 4 other replies
