Good actor! That show was made for him!
I'll always remember 2 episodes from WKRP.
The turkey drop, and the infamous Who concert.
RIP Dr. Fever.

He may have had something with the phone cops. LOL
And Fever's favorite t-shirt is a must for a fan.
Black Death Malt Liquor, the plague of beers.

Like many of the older TV sitcoms, WKRP hasn't aged well, but for it's time, it was a fine comedy and one of the best. Johnny Fever made the show.
He also did quite well as one of the Freedom School teachers in Billy Jack especially in the staged park robbery scene.

Back when it was being broadcast, I always watched it and thought it was very clever. I haven't seen it on any of the cable channels that usually show the ancient TV series. I think everyone who has seen WKRP remembers the "Turkey Drop" episode.
RIP. I always like WKRP, even before I moved to Cincinnati.
It is my understanding the reason it isn't being rebroadcast on the oldies TV channels is the music played on the original show. Story is they can't afford to pay for the music rights.
Sounds logical. The old CBS TV series Cold Case supposedly will never be released on DVD for the same reason, the royalties on the music and the soundtrack of Cold Case set up so much of the time frame and was extensive on the episodes. The music was only licensed for TV broadcast and not distribution.

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." I did too.
