True Story Behind WKRP in Cincinnati's Turkey's Away Thanksgiving Episode

I was going to post that clip from WKRP from Turkeys Away where the station dropped live turkeys from a helicopter for Thanksgiving but then it popped up in my Facebook timeline like a thousand times. Instead I'm posting this True Story behind the episode thing. It's interesting enough, but fair warning you might want to turn your sound down. I don't know who mixed the audio for this but woof. It sounds like bags of wet cement hitting the sidewalk.

Merry Thanksgiving!

Hey kids, happy Thanksgiving. Remember to put some Booty in the stuffing for me.

"As God as my witness I thought turkey's could fly"

I know this makes me hella old, but whenever I think of Thanksgiving day episodes of TV I think of this classic WKRP episode where they drop free turkeys from the traffic copter.

Also Bailey was super hot, amirite?

Nicole Westbrook: It's Thanksgiving

Shut it down! This is the only song you'll need this Thanksgiving, or any Thanksgiving really. It's better than all those other Thanksgiving songs like... um there's that one about the pilgrims, and um...

Anyhoo, this is another one of those teen vanity songs done by the guys that did Friday. It's pretty awesome and I'm guessing you're going to hear it a lot between now and November 22nd. Watch it now and in a week you can brag to all your friends that you've been rocking out to it for like forever man.

BTW, what kind of awesome Thanksgiving is it when it's just you, your teenage best friends and a middle aged African american fellow dressed in a Turkey costume? That's a world I want to live in.

Happy Thanksgiving!
