It'll be back soon, I imagine. I know it had a time when it was all over the place, but it seems these shows go in cycles. It’ll be back soon, I imagine.

I'm not sure I'd use the word 'brutal', since they never showed anything, just talked about it. However, that was the power of TV back in the day; they didn't have to show every gross thing like today's TV seems to demand. Hi Melissa.

I had read it was based on someone in the Atlanta area also, and I'm thinking it had been a news story before it showed up on WKRP; that's funny stuff. Then again, there's a clip I have to find that, when I do, it's going on this blog. But I don't want to give it away yet. Thanks for your comment, John.

To Sire and Dan, thanks for the good wishes. I know y'all don't have Thanksgiving, but you're allowed to celebrate this particular holiday along with us, since everyone has something to be thankful for. Course, you missed out on the turkey and other foods, but hey, can't have everything. lol To Josh, welcome to my blog; I hope you visit often, and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

I was a teenager in the late 1960s and went to high school just south of Atlanta. My favorite radio station was WQXI (Quixie in Dixie) and my favorite DJ was Skinny Bobby Harper, who did the morning drive show. Hugh Wilson worked in advertising in Atlanta before he created "WKRP in Cincinnati" and it is rumored that Johnny Fever is based, in part, on Skinny Bobby Harper. Jerry Blum of WQXI and some of the station's DJs really did a live turkey promotion and the WKRP episode is based on that stunt. I don't remember exactly where the Turkey Drop happened. I did a little searching on the 'net and only found a few vague references to it. Some say it happened at Lenox Square, but I thought it happened at a little shopping center off of Piedmont Rd in north Atlanta. I don't remember the name of the shopping center - it's been a long time.
