The turkey drop episode to this day is one of the best and funniest episodes of sitcom TV I've ever watched, it still makes me bust out laughing. "As god is my witness I could've sworn that turkeys can fly", still makes me laugh. One of my favorite sitcoms of the late late 1970's, it's a show that has aged very well. Whatever the big laughs back when it originally aired still hold up today.The show had a great group of characters with Dr. Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap as the disc jockeys, Andy Travis as the programming director, Arthur Carlson as station manager, Jennifer as his secretary, Herb in charge of sales, Les as the News guy and Bailey as the do it all. A nice collection of madcap hilarious characters.

Being the music fan and former radio DJ that I am, I loved this show.It was great hearing all those classic hits at the time. Some shows were great for that reason. The old 'What song are we going to hear next?' A great cast too. Although Loni Anderson playing a flaunting, gold-digging, type turned out to be not that much of a stretch.Les and Herb made a great team of ineptitude. Fever and Venus were a great duo of hip humor. Anything Fever said made me laugh. Andy and Bailey were the normal ones. Just to keep everything else grounded.And Gordon Jump (RIP) did a version of M*A*S*H's Henry Blake. The boss that has no idea what's going on around him. Nor cares.Great jokes, great stories, and loved the music.

The cast of WKRP worked so well together. They were each individual gems in a talented group that complemented each other so very well.My fondest memories, and most laughs, revolve around Dr. Johnny Fever, Venus Flytrap, and the nerdy naive Les Nessman.The Big Guy had that subtle disconnect about him that gave a jolt to his humor when he reconnected to what was going on at the station.Andy, Andy, Andy, serious to a fault; never got the WKRP staff to run at his speed; trying to keep all the balls in the air at once; frustrated to laughter at every turn.Bailey was sweet and smart; the perfect foil for Herb Tarlek's brash sales mind set.Jennifer was so unflappable about the antics around her that the contrasting humor in her role was great.WKRP is missed; we need the laughs now.

This was simply one of the best sitcoms ever made (along with Barney Miller). Even when the episodes were centered around characters that I did not particularly find appealing, the show always had heart. Never in WKRP did the show become formulaic or repetitive. The stories were written with feeling and a depth that is long since vanished in any sitcoms since. I believe that the best episode (not the funniest) was "In Concert". It is the one that centers around the tragedy at the 1979 Who concert, where 11 people were trampled to death outside the stadium trying to get the best seats. This show was a far cry from the current trend of having character-A insult character-B to the sound of the laugh track!!
