Dr. Johnny Fever, RIP

Damn. RIP. He was so great as Dr. Johnny Fever. I’ve also seen him in guest or bit parts in a number of other shows. I watched Head of the Class when it was on but haven’t been interested in watching the reruns in syndication. 

I’ve recounted this story before. There’s an episode of WKRP where Herb is having heart troubles. Frightened, he flees the hospital because he doesn’t want to face the possible bad news. The rest of the gang tracks him down in a 3-D porn theater. While they’re trying to talk him into going back to the hospital, every so often everyone wearing 3-D glasses in the theater simultaneously lurches to one side. Eventually the lights come on and someone hollers, “It’s a raid!” As the other patrons are fleeing the theater, the first thing Johnny does is stand up, dig both his hands in his pockets, and throw the contents into the seats across the aisle. Such a classic Johnny moment.

That, and the turkey episode, 2 best bits in a series filled with good shit.  It was the trooper who was getting smashed as Johnny kept getting faster.

Nah, it was Venus who got smashed.  The trooper just got frustrated.  Great, great episode and a tremendous show.
