Taro T Posted June 17, 2021 Report Posted June 17, 2021 Frank Bonner died. Sales of white belts & shoes will never be the same. You don't have to tell him the frog is pink; he already knows. Herb croaked RIP Mr. Bonner; yours was one of the greatest characters of American comedy. 9 1 Quote

Expand That was arguably the funniest TV episide ever, from Johnny's reply of "I do" when asked by the Big Guy "do I hear dogs barking" while listening to Floyd's "Dogs" to his response to Bailey's question of whether to give away Boston or Foreigner T-shirts, to Art trying to get Jennifer to help with his meeting, to the broadcast of the "major event," to the classic line quoted above and so many other more subtle lines.

So many great episodes: Hoodlum Rock Turkeys Away The Contest Nobody Could Win A Commercial Break Fish Story Baseball Carlson for President The Americanization of Ivan Jennifer Moves Hotel Oceanview Bah Humbug Frog Story A Simple Little Wedding The Consultant Fire All of those with just such great writing. There really wasn't a clunker episode out of the whole batch of 88 shows. 1 1 Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 19, 2021 Report Posted June 19, 2021 Best line by Les has got to be when he was covering the swim meeting and the participants were breast stroking. Even the beautiful Jennifer thought that one was a bit off. So many great moments ... Les 'eye witness weather' ... well, Andy, I look out the window and witness the weather Les's 5 Buckeye State News Hawk awards and his award winning (I believe all 5 were) 'hog reports' And who could forget his traffic reports from a helocopter, who the Big Guy's mother would never pay for, so Les used to beat on his chest and tell all the listeners that 'traffic was light to heavy'. And Johnny's ... emphatic 'bugger!!', which got him fired from his last gig 1 Quote

Lines like, "Bailey, we could lose our license!", "Les, it's the oldest profession.", and so on. So, sure, she was well paid, but she had her head on straight. 2 Quote

Most PDs do, especially if they didn't have other stations to oversee. Expand Probably for 2 reasons: 1. Carlson was completely incompetent & Travis was the defacto radio station General manager. 2. It was funnier having Andy being "cold" to broadcasting the couple of times he filled in. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 22, 2021 Report Posted June 22, 2021 It was not really funny when Andy filled in for Venus. That's the only time I remember him being 'on air'. Quote
