When you think WKRP, the turkey drop episode immediately comes to mind. It was so well done, and I'll talk about that in a moment. There were some episodes I liked better, including the pilot and one called "Baby, It's Cold Inside."
Be that as it may, back to the turkeys. The landmark scene involves live turkeys dropped from a helicopter, into a shopping center parking lot.
The whole scene rests on the shoulders of Richard Sanders, who played Les Nessman. You never see the helicopter. You never see the turkeys. The comedy is in Sanders' description of the incident and it works. It works hilariously.
That, dear readers, is great acting and great writing. Genius.
