By Request: The poll results and real answer is…

“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!” is from my all-time favorite episode of WKRP in Cinncinatti. Arthur Carlson (the dim witted station owner), decided it would be a great idea if the station did a Thanksgiving promotion at a local mall where they dropped live turkeys out of a helicopter and broadcast the entire event. Intrepid report Les Nessman gave a live account of the turkeys plummeting to their deaths. I believe one of Lessman’s quotes was “Oh, the humanity, the humanity!”

Mr. Carlson said this famous line upon returning to the station after witnessing the mass turkey slaughter.

They just don’t make television like that anymore!
