...had an affair? For a secretary, Jennifer had a gorgeous apartment and was apparently paid 'very well.' It makes me wonder if it was being implied that Jennifer was Arthur's mistress.

I think it was implied that Jennifer had men friends but I never thought Mr. Carlson was one of them.. It's been (unfortunately) too many years since I saw WKRP but I think in one episode something was said about her investing her money wisely??

i think the big guy might have thought about it at one time but he would never really have gone thru with it

I remember the episode where Jennifer actually called Herb on his bluff! that was funny.

Ewwwwwwwwwww...that's not a very pretty visual.

They never implied anything was going on or ever had with Jennifer and Mr. Carlson.

What they did imply was that Jennifer got such a huge salary because she was beautiful- and that she was very smart, so she could get her way with Mr. Carlson in regard to her job.

Mr. Carlson loved his wife and would get flustered even when he complimented Jennifer.

In "Filthy Pictures"- the episode where a photographer took pictures of Jennifer while changing for a photo shoot- while trying to get the photos back Mr. Carlson stammers embarrassedly as he admits to having seen them:

Jennifer: How do you know?
Mr Carlson: I I I I saw them. I'm sorry.
Jennifer: How were they?
Mr Carlson: Oh, just real good.

The delivery of Gordon Jump was priceless.

You're right - Gordon Jump had great timing and delivery. The Big Guy was really just The Little Kid.

In Filthy Pictures, when Carlson confronts the photogrpapher about the pictures, he describes her as a friend rather than an employee. Admittedly not a lady friend, which could have sounded dodgy. In other episodes we see that he has a great deal of respect for her, and she for him. I couldn't really see Big Guy being anything other than that with Jennifer.
