I’m pretty sure I could have cured cancer, brought peace to the Middle East and integrated general relativity with quantum mechanics, if only my brain cells weren’t occupied with remembering things like plots from old sitcoms.
I actually do remember the WKRP episode with Bailey in Johnny’s T-shirt. As I recall, Bailey’s apartment was being painted or something, and Johnny offered to let her stay at his place for a few days. So when she was staying there, everyone at the office was continually making innuendos about them spending the night together. I think it was all in fun and nobody thought anything was really going on but it was unrelenting enough that it eventually pissed Bailey off, and she said to Johnny “If that’s what they want, let’s give it to them.” The next day she came in wearing a T-shirt of Johnny’s, and when asked why cooed (in a very un-Bailey like way) “Oh, it was right there, and I had to wear something, I was naked.”
I’m afraid I can’t seem to focus on anything that happened after that…
Picture time! Bailey in the shirt. “I just grabbed the first thing when I got out of bed this morning. I was naked, Herb. And this was on the bed, so … I put it on.”
I’m sure it would be different if I ever actually watched the show, or at least clips from it, but my first thought whenever anyone posts pics of Bailey is always “My god, that hair is so 80s”.
I thought I had misquoted the line. Clearly, my throbbing adolescent brain only retained the important part: Bailey was naked. (Still gives me a naughty little thrill…)
Back when I was watching WKRP, I thought Jennifer was the most beautiful, classy, sophisticated woman on TV. Now when I see the show, there’s no question that Bailey was the bombshell of Cinncinnati.
Oh geez, Bailey vs Kaylee? That’s just cruel man. Cold blooded. I believe I would blow a blood vessel if I contemplated such a predicament for very long. Throw in Mary Anne and Elly May why don’cha, you mean bastid!
