The Thanksgiving episode has to be one of the best works of 1/2 hour TV comedy ever made. I've included this episode in my "party reel", which contained other WKRP outtakes and other funny stuff that I grabbed off the air. This I had to play in whole...

The Hindenburg parody is absolutely gut-busting! The odd thing is that turkeys CAN fly. A town in Arkansas celebrates Thanksgiving every year by dropping a live turkey from an airplane. The turkey can fly just enough to make it to the ground safely. Strange but true.

...this is arguably the best half hour of tv ever made. Even the actors have a hard time keeping straight faces. Once the helicopter lands -"it gets pretty strange after that"

A radio station did pull this stunt. This episode was based on a real life story. WQXI in Atlanta did it. The series creator worked at that station. See 1 other reply

Over the years, every television show has done a holiday themed show.

At Christmas we are gauranteed to see many versions of "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol" starring our favorite characters.

I had begun to think that there were no fresh ideas on television until the night I first saw this episode. No matter how many times I have caught it in reruns I laugh myself silly each and every time.

If a station actually pulled a stunt like that they probably would be the top station in the country.I love this one and that Les Nesman reminds me of the straight counterpart to Rev.Jim on Taxi. See 1 other reply
