Keep living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati WKRP. Setting the foundation for modern favorites The Office and Parks and Recreation, the beloved and Emmy-winning WKRP in Cincinnati mined the ensemble office archetype for hilarity week after week during its four-season run from 1978 to 82.
With program director Andy Travis (Gary Sandy) leading booger-obsessed, perpetually cool if not unbalanced DJ Dr. Johnny Fever (Howard Hesseman) and fascinatingly inept news reporter Les Nessman (Richard Sanders), WKRP was the radio station unrivaled in misguided promotions. And no promotion stands out more than the one in Thanksgiving episode Turkeys AwayAs God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly, still gets us. Pay homage and keep re-watching.
