As God Is My Witness, I Thought Turkeys Could Fly t-shirts

Wear the most iconic moment in sitcom history. This WKRP Turkey Drop Unisex T-Shirt captures the legendary Thanksgiving episode that defined a generation of TV comedy. Featuring the famous quote that made Les Nessman a household name, this tee celebrates the show that proved turkeys absolutely cannot fly.

The First Annual WKRP Turkey Drop T-Shirt

On November 22, 1978, WKRP in Cincinnati pulled off one of the greatest comedic moments ever broadcast. The station's turkey drop promotion at Pinedale Mall went catastrophically wrong, and Les Nessman's on-air lament became immortal: "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." That moment has echoed through four decades of TV fandom. This shirt prints the exact scene onto premium fabric, making it a wearable tribute to a show that still makes people laugh.

Whether you grew up watching WKRP reruns or discovered it through streaming, you understand why this episode matters. The Turkey Drop is peak 1970s sitcom—absurd, heartfelt, and endlessly quotable. This design captures the event with period-accurate styling: the WKRP branding, the Pinedale Mall location, Cincinnati, Ohio, and the date that changed everything (11/22/78). It's fan art that speaks directly to anyone who loves vintage television and smart comedy.

This shirt works for gift-giving too. Sitcom collectors, retro TV enthusiasts, and anyone with a sense of comedic history will recognize it instantly. Wear it to trivia night and watch other fans light up. Gift it to the person who has seen every WKRP episode at least twice.
