It wouldn’t be the Thanksgiving season without sharing these scenes that I love from the brilliant sitcom, WKRP in Cincinnati.  I’m looking forward to seeing my family in Baltimore this Thanksgiving and, for maybe the 100th time, watching this classic episode.

Believe it or not, this episode was based on a true story!  It didn’t happen in Ohio.  Instead, it happened in Atlanta, Georgia and it was real promotion stunt for a local station, WQXI.  Years later, a young copywriter named Hugh Wilson heard the story while he was working WQXI.  Wilson later moved to California, started writing scripts, and eventually created WKRP In Cincinnati.

I always feel bad for the turkeys but I am glad that the survivors were able to launch a counter attack.
