Damn. He could steal any scene he was in without even trying just by listening and doing the least amount needed to be funny. I hope DJs in Cincinnati all unite at 5PM today to say "BOOOOGER!!" on the air.

It was not a great sitcom but we always tuned into Head Of The Class in the mid to late 80s. He was also great in Police Academy 2. RIP

 

very solid tv show

Damn.  The episode where he gets into a drinking contest with Venus Flytrap and a cop keeps checking their reaction times was fantastic.  Johnny Fever just got more sober as the show went on, while Venus got hammered.

Best episode was when he called BS on Mrs. Carlson converting WKRP to an all news format, because it was succeeding and was supposed to be a loser in her portfolio.

I enjoyed the series in its first second life of reruns.

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.
