Ya got that right.

'Course, Bailey in a baseball uniform is pretty good too.

Mama Carlson casually crushes Jimmy James, prompting him to slavishly propose marriage.

Don’t forget Jimmy James may have been D.B. Cooper (or Doobie Keebler). He’s certainly got a mean streak.

Could WNYX bring in Johnny Johnson against Arthur?

Mr. James and Joe are a unstoppable powerhouse - they are both more devious than the entire WKRP staff.

However, **Bryan Eckers** is spot on in that the whole thing will be lost by Mr. James in his attempt to woo Mamma Carlson.

Also…I really don’t think anyone can beat Bill as an on-air personality. But that’s just me…
