Episode #7 "Turkey's Away" WKRP in Cincinnati
This is perhaps the single most famous of all this comedy's episodes.
This episode ran on October 30 1978.
Mr. Carlson was feeling left out of the day to day operations of the radio station and decided to take charge of everything going on that day. One of his first schemes was to assign Les Nesmann and Herb Tarlek a top secret Thanksgiving promotion that involved 20 full grown, live turkey's and a rented helicopter. The results were disastrous.
Les Nesmann's Voice on the radio ....Quote" "It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says, uh - Happy... Thaaaaanksss... giving! ... From ... W ... K ... R... P!! No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers... I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, Johnny, they're turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenburg tragedy has there been anything like this!"End Quote.
