Make 1 Ultimate WKRP Season

[dlemond]

Since it's too hard to pick one favorite episode (or 10 for that matter) or favorite season, I'm asking you to compile 24 episodes (2-parters count as 2) to make your ultimate WKRP season.

I'd suggest starting with Pilot, pt1. and ending with Up and Down the Dial, but pick them anyway you'd like.

I'll work on mine.

Let's see yours

I'd prefer to start with pilot pt.2 since it does a decent job of being independent.


Pilot pt 2 ("I've killed a lot of old people in my time, and I'm not above doing it again." - Johnny)

Les On a Ledge (I cant even pick a line from that one! Hee!)

Hold Up ("If you need anything - anything at all - I'll be in my car somewhere" -- Herb)

Tornado ("Cincinnati is under attack by the godless enemy ... tornadoes!" -- Les)

Preacher ("The sister's are waiting for me out in the Honda." -- Little Ed)


Fish Story (the alcohol test)

Carlson for President (Mrs. Carlson and I had a disagreement this morning. Things got a little out of hand. Well, let's just say Mrs. Carlson won't be seen in public for quite a while." --- Big Guy)

Herb's Dad ("Son, I'm dying. GOTCHA AGAIN!" -- Herb Sr.)

Real Families ("There's this black guy at work, Venus Flytrap, we're like THIS. We even went to one of those N-double C A. P.
meetings. At least I think it was. I remember there were a lot of black guys there, just like an NBA game. Oops, just kidding." -- Herb)

Hotel Oceanview (cant pick one)

Out to Lunch ("We can go to any country in the world and say, "We are Americans - GIVE US YOUR WOMEN.' " -- Herb)

A Mile in my Shoes. ("Venus. Ooooooh Venus" -- Les)


Ask Jennifer ("Herb, don't you want this idea to work!")

Explosive Affair 1 - 2 : ("It's the PHONE COPS, THE PHONE COPS!" -- Johnny)

Changes ("You were right and I was wrong. Go down to the garage, pick the seat covers you like best, and wear them home." -- Jennifer)

Fire ("I just came to give you this broom" -- Johnny)



The Consultant ("hershey's makes the very best .....chaaaahKlet" -- Bailey)

Three Days of the Condo (where Venus acts like he's Johnnys
boyfriend to freak people out. heh)

The Creation of Venus ("Pardon me. I mean, SAY WHAT!?" -- Venus)

To Err is Human ("Who is this idiotic white man." -- Big Guy)

Up and Down The Dial ("I'm tired of yer Crud." -- Andy)




well, here are 22 eps anyway. Since im still missing some on tape, and havent watched everyone all the way through like i should which eps. had Les saying:

Andy, a news reporter is ALWAYS fully cocked. (if it was secrets of dayton heights, i missed it)

and

I'm a great big muffin who loves to eat
A great big muffin who has no feet
I'm a great big muffin who LOOOOOOOVES to explode.
And then you did.

Wow. I know this has to be revised.
9 from Season 1 - without including Hold Up or Hoodlum Rock.

And apologies to Three Days of the Condo, Rumors, and Put Up or Shut Up- along with a couple others- which are hard to recall at this point.

[DetectiveGriffin]

oooooooh, great list. we should watch together!

Can't wait to get "put up or shut up" (whenever that is) and those other missing eps.

I'll bet Appeli has Rumors and watches it 20 times a week to see Bailey in Johnny's t shirt <GGGG>

[dlemond]

If you can sit and watch 12 hours straight you're a bigger fan than I am!

Which brings me a thought about WKRP, for which I'll make another post.

In the meantime, for all the Bailey fans:

The Bailey Quarters Episode Pack
(aka The Jan Smithers Seven)

1. Bailey's Show
2. Bailey's Big Break
3. The Americanization of Ivan
4. The Painting
5. I Am Woman
6. Rumors
7. Dear Liar

I'd like to see Jaime's list for an ultimate season.

And anyone else who would care to make a list or
update their past one, please do so.

I know I have to make a couple changes on mine.
