Description
Season’s Greetings, on this episode of CSWL, we cover the 1980's sitcom 'WKRP in Cincinnati 'and its famed Thanksgiving Day special. You don't need to be a WKRP fan or even have seen the episode in question. You just need to tolerate Kev hosting with Covid and brain fog. Still, we discuss everything from how this show and episode was based on true life and what life working at radio stations was like back in the day (and how that life no longer exists). We also cover how the Thanksgiving episode saved the fledgling series, why this episode frequently ranks in the all-time top 100 and how the one original line at the end created a saying we all use today. Gen Z surprisingly found little to be offended over, too, as the march to the greatest holiday continues!

The pre-season winds down, ending on Thanksgiving Day. And as always the CSWL pays respects to Turkey Day, this time covering the 1972 animated Hannah Barbera animated special: The Thanksgiving That Almost Wasn't. This 'non-classic' is a non-classic for a reason. Whether you have seen this...

We are deep in the Thanksgiving Season and who says Thanksgiving TV Special more than Charlie Brown! But there's a catch. This episode does not cover Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (check out previous CSWL seasons for that). This episode covers another Peanuts' Thanksgiving special - one you may not...
