It is 45-degrees and cloudy in Cincinnati, and poor Arthur Carlson is feeling dejected. Even though he is the station manager, he is not "allowed" to do anything. Jennifer keeps him from all the important calls and mail, Herb and Les brush off his questions with curt responses, and all Fever can do is deliver sarcastic comments.
Making his stand, Carlson decides to take total control of the station, including promotions. Coming up with an idea that he says will make radio history, Carlson, Herb and Les prepare for their infamous turkey drop. When the turkeys end up plummeting to the ground like "sacks of wet cement," all Carlson can say is: "As God as my witness, I thought Turkeys could fly."
WKRP's most famous episode, this was one of the first to clearly define the split that existed between Les, Herb, and Carlson and the station's "more casually dressed" employees. This rift would be explored more fully in later episodes, as well.
It also features the classic scene in which Les patterns his description of the Turkey drop after the famous Hindenburg crash report.
