I know right? How could anyone forget that one? Or the Turkey drop episode? Or the phone cops? Or the "Liza Manelli this, and Liza Manelli that" Gone With the Wind-ers. Every episode had something classic.
According to the late Yasser Arafat, when he appeared on the Merv Griffin show with Lee Liberace and Loni Anderson, he stated that WKRP in Cincinnati was the number one TV show in all of Palestine. He also compared suit jacket linings with Merv but wasn't able to see Liberace's.
As funny as Carlson's line is at the end of Turkey's Away, I think Les had the better line in that episode... "the turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement."
@4:19 - when the episode Real Families aired, WKRP was not up against Little House. By that point, WKRP had moved to Saturdays while Little House was on Mondays.
Thanks, I didn't know that. I saw the quote on p.167 ‘America’s Favorite Radio Station, WKRP in Cincinnati’ by Michael Kassel. When reviewing that episode he adds ”There’s a lot of inside humor as well, including a little jab at Little House on the Prairie. WKRP’s chief competition during most of their four-year run.” Most doesn’t mean all.
Best line I ever heard. Jessica's boyfriend meets Les Nessman: Boyfriend: "I believe a man's name says a lot about who he is. My name is Steel. What did you say your name was again?" Less Nessman: "Les.......... Les Nessman."
There are sooooooo many other great lines you missed, Dave. You need to do a Favorite Lines parts 2 and 3. Madam, your physician is here. I was naked, Herb. Do you like working in this hemisphere? Hi, Mr. Breezy! You can say 'Booger' if you want. Speed kills, Del. . . ..
Wake up, sucker, this is the phone company we're talking about! They see everything, they know everything, they got their own covert police force! I'm probably wired for sound right now! I gotta get out of here!
the best line on WKRP
Johnny: Don't you people get it ? it was the phone cops !
“N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestles makes the very best chhoocclaatte.”

One of the better ensemble casts ever.
One of only two DVD box sets I've ever bought over the years. The other was Kolchak the Night Stalker.
Drunk Andy: "Mrs. Carlson, I'm tired of your crud". And just about anything from Ian Wolfe (Mrs. C's butler).
My now ex husband and I referred to a particularly obnoxious and argumentative neighbor as Mrs. C....but the C didn't stand for Carlson....

Many great lines, but I was hoping for: “On the air? I am the air!” By Venus.
Great line.
That was good line from the On-Air Alcohol Test, 4:20 mark - WKRP Comments and Requests 1
I'm the wind!
My favorite is when Venus walks into Jennifer’s reception area in a wild ass costume and Jennifer asks him if he’s Earth Wind or Fire
"I'm fire baby. 'Cause women love the heat." I've remembered Venus' smooth as silk reply since the 1980's. 🤓

jennifer's boyfriend
Les is more.

You need to do a Favorite Lines parts 2 and 3.
Madam, your physician is here.
I was naked, Herb.
Do you like working in this hemisphere?
Hi, Mr. Breezy!
You can say 'Booger' if you want.
Speed kills, Del.

Those were Great!🤣
@@marcbahn5487 😊👍
what happened to: as god as my witness.........................
I feel like that should've been the closing line of the video. I can't believe you and I seem to be the only ones.
Wake up, sucker, this is the phone company we're talking about! They see everything, they know everything, they got their own covert police force! I'm probably wired for sound right now! I gotta get out of here!
I almost choked at 1:50.
No one told him it's Tony Danza 5:52 I wonder if that was a thing yet.
What was Herb's middle name? Only ever heard him refer to himself as Herbert R. Tarlik.
I'd like to know too.
At first, Kirk's middle initial was mistakenly R.
Maybe Herb's middle name is really Tiberius.
His middle name was Ruggles.
I'll need verification before I start spreading that rumour!
🙂
@@ryansullivan5575 See the episode "The Painting".
@@marcbahn5487 Was there a big reveal during that episode? It's been a while!
0:25 1:31 5:49 Bailey and Andy are both so hot< 4:41 Jenifer and Les... funny.
