Episode 17 "Thanksgiving Turkeys Away"

Published: Nov. 26, 2020, 11 a.m.

It's Thanksgiving and the Brothers in Armchairs Podcast bring you another high quality, top notch, family friendly, Podcast Show suitable for your listening during your Thanksgiving feast!

In today's episode, join Kenny, Arnaz, and Del as they talk about their Thanksgiving memories in the military and one of the best short-lived Television Sitcoms of all time, WKRP in Cincinnati.

WRKP aired from 1978 - 1982 and built a strong following during and through the years post production.  The most famous episode of WKRP was Turkeys Away, which some of the cast credit as being responsible for boosting the show's popularity.  According to BiAP surveys, and other surveys available online, the WKRP Turkeys Away episode is the best Thanksgiving themed TV Sitcom of all time.  We know that everyone has their favorites, but the Brothers felt the Turkeys Away episode is too great not to give it proper tribute.
