And yet he seemed like such a nice guy on "WKRP In Cincinnati" ....

Yea you would think he would have been a little more upset about it, but maybe he had some problems of his own. Just look how he rubbed dudleys shoulders to make him feel "ok". I think that show had some double meanings.
Not only was that episode useful in teaching kids how to spot child predators, it also taught wanna-be predators all the proper procedures....
Seriously though, I remember seeing that episode when I was a kid and it was just so wrong on so many levels. One minute they're waving Dudley and Arnold in front of ole Mr. Horton at the bike shop like pieces of bait, then they're spouting off clever one liners so the laugh track would go crazy. The combination just creeped me the hell out.

hahaha yea it was kind of wierd how they were trying to make lite out of a bad situation. I remember that episode too. I remember all those shows I would watch that non stop. I also remember that I never looked at a MAYTAG repair man the same again. You just can't trust any body.

Well, since the may tag man supposedly doesn;t have many repairs to do, we know who he spends his time

How did the manager of a respectable, well-liked radio station in Cincinnati with wacky employees wind up with a bicycle repair shop? Crazy, ain't it?

The media has released the first photo of Gary Coleman's casket:
It comes equipped with wheels and even has his name on the side.

I bet it had something to do with that Thanksgiving stunt when WKRP dropped turkeys out of a helicopter. He honestly didn't know that turkeys couldn't fly. I don't think he ever recovered.

That has got to be one of my favorite sitcom episodes of all-time. Hearing Les Nessman's live reporting of the event is hysterical!! "Oh the humanity!!"
