My Favorite All Time Thanksgiving Special

I love spending time with friends and family during Thanksgiving. Most of my family lives within a few miles of one another. While we do try to get together here and there throughout the year, Thanksgiving is one time we all gather for food and conversation. We always get together at my house for a big feast every year. The food is great, the conversation is fun and engaging, and there are no worries that day. While Christmas has its own place, I particularly enjoy Thanksgiving because everyone settles in front of the satellite television from http://www.direct.tv/direct-tv-deals.html to catch their favorite Thanksgiving special after eating such a big meal. One TV special that we always try to find on the guide is an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati called "Turkey's Away." Mr Carlson, who most know as the station manager, really wants to do something big for Thanksgiving. So, he comes up with a really bad radio promotion idea.

He wants to drop several live turkeys from a helicopter over the city of Cincinnati thinking they will float with wings spread to the ground all over the city. The truth is they become more like turkey bombs. The best part is listening to them describe the scene over the radio. Mr Carlson signs off with this quote" As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
