Almost any line in the history of this show could be considered an awesome quote. BUt I think my fave is not only the best from this show, but from the history of the medium:

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

That's my favorite too, but it goes on to get funnier:

Andy: Where's the Coke?
Doug: I don't know. I guess Carlson puts it on his feet.
(Doug leaves)
Carlson: (stomping foot) I've lost all the feeling in my leg. I must be hooked, Andy!
Andy: No you're not, Mr. Carlson
Carlson: (hitting foot with I think his shoe) I'VE GOT A MONKEY ON MY FOOT!!!!

One of my favourite quotes is from Dear Liar...

Andy to Bailey: "there's Washington Post integrity and there's WKRP integrity... this is the station that has employed Herb Tarlek for the last 16 years... don't talk to me about integrity!!"

It's funnier when you see it in context.. but either way, what a great line. Gary Sandy's delivery is great too.

In one episode, a harried Herb messages his temples and sighs:

"What does a stroke feel like?"

From "Fish Story" when the police officer comes with the reflex test to show the effects of alcohol.

Officer: You have obviously built up a super-human tolerance to alcohol.
Johnny: Yes, it's true, it was once sort of a hobby

"Baby, If You Ever Wondered"

Carlson shows his ideal station blueprints-

Jennifer: What's this little area over here?
Mr Carlson: That's a little place where I can go, and nobody knows where I am.
Jennifer: A think tank.
Mr Carlson: Yeah, that's it. It's not a hiding place.

"Pilot, pt2"

Johnny: Hang onto your brains, fellow babies, this is Doctor Johnny Fever and have I got a contest for you! First prize is, you don't have to die! Second prize, a pocket comb!

"Preacher"

Johnny: I'm telling you, free coffee is a constitutional right! Just look it up - Juan Valdez versus the state of California!

Johnny (after the ratings book comes out) "Look what I'm doing with teenage boys"

Bailey (to a radio consultant) "I'm in charge of paper. If you have paper you bring it to me"

Venus (on Herb's suit) "Some where out there is a Volkswagen without seat covers"

There are some others
