‘WKRP In Cincinnati’ Turkey Drop Is Happening For Real This Thanksgiving, With One Big Change

The ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ turkey drop is coming to life in Ohio this Thanksgiving, with a twist that keeps Arthur Carlson’s famous disaster from repeating. Every Thanksgiving for nearly half a century, somebody has quoted Arthur Carlson. “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly” closed out “Turkeys Away,” the WKRP in Cincinnati episode that first aired on CBS on October 30, 1978, and it has been repeated at dinner tables, in break rooms and on radio stations ever since. Now a real station carrying the WKRP call letters plans to stage the turkey drop for real, on the night before Thanksgiving.
