\\u201cLes on a Ledge\\u201d\\xa0(October 2, 1978)

For reasons we can\\u2019t imagine, WKRP in Cincinnati decided its third episode should feature a trans-themed B plot alongside an A plot about one of the characters contemplating suicide because people think he\\u2019s gay. It\\u2019s a lot. And while that plot synopsis might seem like a recipe for disaster, this one is funnier and more progressive than you might expect. Don\\u2019t get us wrong: It does things that today\\u2019s audiences will probably roll their eyes at and might even shake their head at. But among these are some things that might surprise you in a good way.
