In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, here is a YouTube clip of the best-ever episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati" (one of my favorite shows at the time, and still one of the funniest sit-coms ever made). But first, just a little background:
In this show the Station Manager, Mr. Carlson, decided it would be a great Thanksgiving promotion to give away hundreds of free turkeys at the local mall. Here is how the great promo event played out:
Afterwards, back at the station, Carlson and the gang were agonizing over the completely disastrous event (lawsuits are threatened, the whole city is angry -- it's just **bad**) and Mr. Carlson moaned: "As God is my Witness, I thought turkeys could fly..." (Sadly, I can't share that portion of the show with you, as I couldn't find it on YouTube).
I am laughing out loud with tears rolling down my face just remembering this line. Truly, I will never know how the actor who played Mr. Carlson managed to utter that line without cracking up. They should show this episode on tv every Thanksgiving so we can all laugh at least once that day.

This was a classic episode!
WKRP was a great show!
I remember that one. Sad there aren't any good sitcoms these days.
One of my all time favorite Thanksgiving episodes. I'm a little embarrassed to admit my second favorite is when Monica does the shimmy with a raw turkey on her head on Chandler tells her he loves her for the first time.
That;s classic TV right there. I loved that episode!
You are right, one of the best TV shows ever!
Thanks for dropping by my place.
A classic. Thanks for the reminder.

I love the episode too. Been doing this a month, and tomorrow will be the second time I write about it.
You can go to Hulu for the Full Episode free!
