#1 ...A funny, funny man and by all accounts a decent one. Everybody remembers the WKRP ep with the turkeys, but for me the hand-down funniest one was where Johnny Fever and a Ohio Highway Patrolman do a reflex test intended to show you how the more you drink, the worse your reflexes get...except the more Johnny drinks, the faster he gets.

#2 Having grown up in the Cincy area (go Bengals) I of course watched this show. Loni Anderson was good eye candy but Jan Smithers was stunning.

#3 The role that brought him to prominence was Howard Johnson in the cult classic Billy Jack (1971).
