The Enquirer

"WKRP in Cincinnati" will forever have a special place in the hearts of Cincinnatians, but it's a Thanksgiving tradition for everyone thanks to one classic episode, which aired on Oct. 30, 1978.

In just the seventh episode ("Turkeys Away") of the sitcom, radio newsman Les Nessman hilariously describes a promotional turkey drop the station was holding at a shopping mall.

Nessman's account mirrors Herbert Morrison's eyewitness reporting of the Hindenburg disaster. Watch a clip from the episode above and read more about it here.
