What is your all-time favorite episode of W.K.R.P in Cincinnati and why?

jaime_weinman · 05-25-2000, 11:35 AM

That's a toughie, but I think my favorite episode would be "Mike Fright," where Johnny tells his listeners to dump their garbage on the steps of City Hall. This episode has everything: verbal wit, physical comedy, loud humor, quiet humor, farce and pathos. Just about every moment there's another great routine, some of them completely out-of-left field like Venus's conversation with himself ("How 'bout a drink, Venus? No, man. How come? I'm high on life. That's stupid, chump."). And, of course, there's the wonderful moment where Johnny, encouraged by Bailey to talk into the mike as if he's just talking to her, says, on the air: "I sure would like to take you home and kiss you all over in the dark."

My favorite episode was the one where Venus got an offer from a rival radio station, but declined it when he found out they where only hiring him because they needed more minorities because of Affirmative Action. I think this was the first episode that made me realize just how "deep" the character of Venus Flytrap really was.

The Thanksgiving episode where they throw the turkeys out of the helicopter.

Also, when Herb, dressed as the WKRP carp, gets in a fight with the pig mascot from another station.

Titania · 10-01-2000, 10:37 AM

Letsa see my favorite eps are: Turkeys Away, Fish STory, Explosive Affair, Dr. Fever and Mr. Tide, Mike Fright, Rumors, and Most Improved Station. (I know thats a lot of fave eps but this is one of my fave shows!!)

------------------
Lenny: Ya wanna escort us over to Angelos house?
Shirley- Whats happening over at Angelo's house?
Squiggy- It's burnin' down.
Shirley- Well Where;s Angelo?
Lenny- Awe, when he took one look at that fire he moved.

I am a big fan of WKRP in Cincinnati. I can name the whole cast from Gordon Jump all the way around to Jan Smithers and Richard Sanders. Two episodes that stick out in my mind is Real Stories where Peter Marshall the former mc of Hollywood Squares was following Herb around in his house and Herb was trying to have his family act like the All-American family. The other episode was where Johnny and Venus are sitting in the booth taking a sobriety test. Venus and Johnny were so hilarious in that episode.

I have a ton of favorite episodes!! I loved Turkeys Away, the baseball one (I felt sooooo sorry for Les!), the one where Les goes on a date with Jennifer, the one where Andy comes to the station, tons more! But my all-time favorite is the one where Johnny leaves the stations and they hire that new guy who has cocaine! The end is so funny!

Andy: Where's the cocaine?
Doug: I don't know. I guess Carlson puts it on his feet!
(Doug leaves)
Carlson: I've lost all the feeling in my leg!! Good God Andy, I'm hooked!
Andy: Mr. Carlson, you're NOT hooked!
(Carlson starts hitting his foot)
Carlson: I've got a monkey on my foot!!

"Well, Laverne is sort of childish" -Shirley

"Childish? Childish? Coming from a grown woman who throws tea parties for her stuffed cat!" -Laverne

"Well at least I don't sew L's on everything I wear!" -Shirley

"Well that would be pretty stupid considering your name's Shirley!" -Laverne

The Thanksgiving episode, definately the Thanksgiving episode!

Mr. Carlson- As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

callmetootie · 03-06-2001, 10:13 PM

I like the one where Andy gets hit by a tornado, and the one where chickens fly.

MY FAVORITE EPISODE IS "REAL FAMILIES" BECAUSE IT WAS VERY FUNNY AND ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE EPISODES EVER PRODUCED FOR A SITCOM.

ONE OF THE FUNNIEST HALF HOURS IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION!

BY THE WAY "TURKEYS AWAY" IS MY SECOND FAVORITE EPISODE OF WKRP IN CINCINATI.

Joyce DeWitt · 03-11-2001, 06:56 PM

I like the one where Jennifer has 2 pretend she's married 2 Johnny cuz that guy wants 2 marry her and I like the one where they sing the funaral commercial and the one where Jennifer dates Herb and the one with the tornado. I love the part when Andy goes "Hello" in that stupi voice. Oh and I also love the one where Jennifer moves and her neighbor likes her and his wife is jelous and the phone salesman is a sex pervert! Oh and I like the one where Bailey stayes at Johnny's house and the one where that guy takes pictures of Jennifer nude an th guys go and get it. An i love the one where Andy first comes and johnny says "booger" an I like the one where Mr. Carlson's mom comes and they show clips from episoes. OK i like WAY 2 many episodes and this isn't even my fave show, Three's Company is. Di anyone see the episode of Three's Company where Loni Anderson guest starred as the girl on the airplane? She was really bad in it! But she's goo on WKRP.

------------------
Jack: "This is a job for the man of the house."
Janet: "I did not kiss Larry!"
Chrissy: "Snort snort."
Mr. Roper: "Not tonight Helen, I got a headache."
Mrs. Roper: "Not tonight. That would be a good title for my autobiagraphy."
Mr. Furley: "Once a tippytoes, always a tippytoes."
Cindy: "I guess I messed things up, huh?"
Terri: "Janet? Shut up and get married."

I don't think I could narrow it down to just one favorite. Of course, who doesn't love "With God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!" I also love the one where Johnny and Bailey are trying to get back Jennifer's dirty pictures, the most improved station one is great.

PRAIDER · 03-16-2001, 02:20 AM

MY FAVORITE EPISODE IS "THE CONSULTANT" BECAUSE IT'S VERY FUNNY.

theshark8777 · 03-16-2001, 10:04 AM

My favorite episode is the one where Johnny and Venus do the alcohol test and Johnny's reaction time increases. And Venus wanted to wear a hat because the officer had one. Then at the end the WPIG pig is painting the lobby and Johnny says hes drunk, he just say a giant pig painting the lobby!

MY FAVORITE IS THE EPISODE WHERE LES DATES JENNIFER.
