“As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”

With those words, the Turkeys Away episode of WKRP in Cincinnati takes it place as a holiday classic.  In this episode, Arthur Carlson — the station manager of the perpetually low-rated and eponymous radio station — attempts to pull off the greatest Thanksgiving promotion of all time.  However, after Mr. Carlson incorrectly assumes that turkeys can fly, things go terribly wrong.

Believe it or not, this episode is based on a true story.  A radio station in Atlanta tried a similar promotion, the main difference being that the station manager tossed the turkeys out of the back of a moving truck.

While enjoying the holiday, take a moment to remember this classic TV moment.  Happy Thanksgiving!
