For all your Thanksgiving needs

Nov 22, 2012 08:26

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Because we are a post-TV generation, our traditions are, perhaps, different than our parents', but that makes them no less precious. We must enjoy the full range of holiday cheer. To this end, I offer an incomplete but entertaining collection of Thanksgiving entertainments--my favorites, anyway:

I have a live stream from WNCW on because they' always play it at noon their time (although I may listen to the station other times of the year because the music selection so far is excellent).

The Friends episode is pretty strange, but I always felt the dimensional travel episode of Mad About You took the cake--I don't think they ever did SF/Fantasy again, but boy, for a first attempt they did it up proud.

I watched a piece of the WKRP episode. It's so bizarre to think now that Hesseman didn't rate the opening credits. I saw him in Night of the Iguana once, amazing actor.

Yeah, that Hesseman didn't rate the credits was a surprise to me, too. Of course, this was only the sixth episode of season one. I don't remember for sure, but I suspect he rated in later seasons. BTW, I've added to this post a link to an oral history of how the episode was created. It's pretty great stuff.

Thanks for the oral history. Great stuff and a great snapshot into how something like this comes together.

The WKRP episode is one of my holiday favorites. Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah, it's pretty great. BTW, I've added to this post a link to an oral history of how the episode was created. It's pretty great stuff if you're curious.

I put on Alice's Restaurant just before firing up LJ. It is my one nod to the day today...but if I can get the hulu link to work I may watch WKRP too! =P

Hope you can! BTW, I've added to this post a link to an oral history of how the episode was created. It's pretty great stuff if you're curious.

Just ask anybody the_same_andrew November 23 2012, 11:41:45 UTC

Generally, if I ask someone, "Hey, do you remember "WKRP in Cincinnati?" they reply with, "As God is my witness..."

Thanks for those links!
