WKRP Trivia Game thread

After a good night’s sleep I remembered the rest of it: the “gay” rumor got him banned from the Cincinnati Reds (?) locker room, so he couldn’t do postgame interviews anymore. More of a professional humiliation than a personal one, really.

Hot Blooded by Foreigner Classic moment.

She was staying at Johnny’s because (I think) a pipe burst in her apartment. Everyone assumed the worst, so she decided she’d show them and came to work wearing one of Johnny’s T-shirts. “It was the first thing I found when I got out of bed. I was naked, Les.” Meoow.

Steel: I think I man’s name should say something about him. What’s your name?
Les: Les

“For who would fardels bear?” (Hamlet)
Ok, my question:

What rule did Mrs. Carlson state when the group was about to play pool at her house?

“Everyone plays very hard and in the end I win.” ?

I think we already got that it was Little Ed (was Pembrook his last name ?), did we get that he switched to selling indulgences yet ?

Here’s a trick question: When was the WKRP series DVD released?

I didn’t think it had been released yet (something about copyrights and the music they used).

Actually, just yesterday, I stumbled across a “region-free” DVD collection being advertised through (but not sold by) Amazon. Presumbably bootleg, and possibly worse, it’s just the VHS version with overdubbed generic music. :sad:

Also, “You get ahead of me, you lose your turn.”

What was Mama Carlson’s first career?

Same song he quoted to Les, then.

She was a Rockette, right?

What song did Venus play for the Carlsons when they found out they were pregnant?

You are quite correct. That’s why I called it a trick question. :slight_smile:

There are two answers to this one. In syndication, you hear We’ve Only Just Begun by The Carpenters. Originally, though, we heard Maurice Chevalier singing Thank Heaven for Little Girls from the soundtrack to Gigi.

Flimm.

Thank heaven for little girls is the only version I’ve heard. So you get extra credit.

I was only 5 when the show first aired, but I certainly remember some snippets.

What was the WKRP mascot?
The carp!

Speaking of Johnny Fever’s settlement money, name any of the other items he bought,
Would that be “soap you can see through!”?

Maybe this is too easy, but what did Jennifer do before destroying the nude pics?

She pulled them out of the pouch - looked at them, smiled and said “Perfect”.

That was after the guys “watergated” them :slight_smile:

Ok I have a few.

During the bomb scare episode who was Johhny running from in the end and why?
Same episode What was Les Nesman’s newscast about?

There was “A very special” WKRP episode regarding an incident in Cincinati at the time. Name the incident and real life group involved.

How did Carlson get a monkey on his back?

Name two abuses of birds done on WKRP and who did them.

Cocaine in a sock.

The turkeys of course, and Herb’s “duck dance” stunt.

I think it was “phone cops”, but I don’t remember why he thought they were after him.
