In 1993, when I was in college in Baltimore, a local radio station did a promotion the week of Thanksgiving and they had the real Les Nessman fly in a helicopter over a mall parking lot and they dropped paper turkeys. If you caught one, you could go into the mall to turn it in for a coupon for a turkey at your grocery store. I caught one of the turkeys and after receiving my coupon I got to meet Les and I got his autograph. Good times!
Wow, that's awesome! Now I'm only six degrees from Les Nesman.

It's a real pity what they did to the WKRP dvd release, but even so, this was a lovely episode...and I think (maybe) this was one of the two that got a commentary.
