As God Is My Witness, I Thought Turkeys Could Fly

[Carol Rose]

Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day here in the US, so I thought I'd share this.

Not sure if anyone outside the States ever had the pleasure of seeing episodes of WRKP In Cincinnati, but it's a sitcom from the late 70's/early 80's that I still love watching on cable when I can catch it. This particular episode is one of the funniest moments in TV history, IMHO.

I'm guessing the Turkeys were meant to be flying?

Arthur thought the turkeys would fly when let out of the helicopter. Since they can't fly, they simply fell to the ground in the parking lot of the mall.

I loved this show and still remember the first time I watched this show when it aired. Laughed so damn hard I nearly wet myself. LOL!!

Isn't that dating you a little @Carol Rose ? I always thought WKRP was ridiculous, maybe that's why I used to laugh so hard when I watched it. Oh, well, life was simpler back then; back in the dark ages. Now, something like that wouldn't work. You'd have turkeys complaining about anti-turkey rhetoric, anti-turkey bias, and turkey torture/cruelty. They may even start a movement..."Turkey Lives Matter".

Um, I guess so, but I've never been concerned about people knowing how old I am. *shrugs* I enjoyed the show. Thought the clip would make people smile.

Oh, it did make me smile. I'd forgotten how funny it was. Things like that seem to get funnier the older I get.

Note: my previous comment was meant to be silly and ridiculous.

It's an old sitcom. I posted the scene I'm referring to in the first post. The show was about a fictional radio station. This particular episode was a Thanksgiving stunt the station manager set up, believing turkeys could fly. He let them loose out of a helicopter to fly over a mall as part of a promotion for the station, and for a store in the mall (if I remember correctly), but turkeys can't fly, so they simply fell to the pavement. Les (the reporter in the scene) was on the scene live, reporting about it as it happened. He didn't know the turkeys would come out of the helicopter, which made his reactions even funnier.

The rest of the stuff on here is the usual tangents that most threads on here go off on.

I was on a roll writing Carol, look what I am reduced to now.

 

[Carol Rose]

Add to that, Les was reporting in the style of the reporter on the Hindenburg disaster.
