Over Thanksgiving in 2006 I was living in England and going to the National Broadcasting School. It felt strange being in a foreign country and not having the usuals: a holiday break, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, being with the family and gathering around the table to feast, Black Friday, ect… it was just an ordinary day across the pond. Being in England though did not stop me from carrying forth the American tradition – there was at-least a feast!
During Thanksgiving week at the NBS I was doing some research for a project when I came across and old WKRP clip about a Great Turkey Drop. Instantly I was fascinated and laughing at a radio promotion gone bad. (Not just because all the work I was doing happened to be in radio.) The show brought an awesome smile to my face and filled part of the hole for missing the Thanksgiving traditions. Since then, I have made it a yearly tradition to watch the WKRP Turkey’s Away episode to bring in the Thanksgiving spirit.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. If you have some time and are looking for some fun laughs, gather around the computer or TV and check out Turkey’s Away.
