  1. Love that episode.
    Anyway, I wish everyone here a Happy Thanksgiving. We all have something to be thankful for (more or less).
    Cheers, and try not to club your lib relatives over the head with a drumstick.
    Decorum people, decorum.

  2. I loved WKRP!

    Turkeys fly here, and are enormous! They look like fluffy dinosaurs when they are strolling around outside. And it is crazy to see them fly into a tree and perch on a branch because they are so huge. Not something a person who grew up in suburbs would expect to see. I never knew they could fly till I moved to the boonies.

  3. @Whatshername: Now that’s FUNNY!

    (Coincidentally, it’s also the same reason I’m banned from Kroger, except in my case it involved someone with two shopping carts full of groceries in the fast lane.)

  4. That episode was based on an actual event that took place in Dallas, Texas.

    “The show was created by former Atlanta ad executive Hugh Wilson, who based some of the characters and antics from QXI, a powerhouse Atlanta top 40 station back when AM radio ruled.

    “This disaster was inspired by a much less horrific turkey giveaway WQXI general manager Jerry Blum (the inspiration for Carlson) had conjured up in the late 1950s in Dallas when he dropped turkeys off a pickup truck.
