Boy, what a sad day. Lonnie Anderson died. I really didn't know Lonnie Anderson was still alive. So
But she was 79. Of course, she was married to Burt Reynolds. When were they married in the late 80s?
Early 90s? I think they were married when he was on a show called Evening Shade, which is a fine
little show about like a small town football coach who used to play in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers and takes place in like a little town called Evening Shade Arkansas.
I know all of this because my dad used to watch it and he used to watch it because the producers of the show were from our hometown of Missouri.
So that's the only reason we know really anything about it.
But I think that's when he was with Lonnie Anderson.
I think they were together in the late 80s and the early 90s. But of course, Lonnie Anderson was Jennifer on WKRP.
And WKRP is one of my favorite shows ever.
Has one of the great theme songs of all time as well.
So there's that.
["WKRP Song"]
Baby, if you've ever wondered
Wondered whatever became of me
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati
Cincinnati WKRP
Got kinda tired of packing and unpacking
Town to town, up and down the dial
It's me!
Maybe you and me weren never meant to be. Just maybe think of me once in a while.
I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati.
All right, let me play a couple of commercials and we'll continue.
It's weird that I've hit that point in my life where I've essentially lived the life
of the opening theme song of WKRP.
Town to town, up and down the dial.
Of course she played the character on the show where like she was supposed to just be
the big knockers and like she was like the eye candy for people to tune in, but her character
was kind of one of the smarter characters and was a lot smarter than like the looks would make you think but
Her character was also one of those that was involved in like a ginger Marianne type thing
So when you had a ginger Marianne it was always the debate about whether Marianne the cute little brunette was hotter than the smoke show
Redhead right that's kind of what you had on WKRP at the time because you had
Right that's kind of what you had on WKRP at the time because you had
You had the the Lonnie Anderson blonde big knockers all that right?
but then you also had the
Bailey character played by a woman by the name of Jan Smithers who if you go back and watch episodes of WKRP
Kind of at times sort of maybe kinda gives off Taylor Swiftie vibes. I might be totally off on this
and people might go, Josh, you're fucking crazy. There's no Taylor Swift vibes with
Jan Smithers Bailey on WKRP. But I beg to differ. I think she kind of gives off a vibe,
particularly when she's got like glasses on. But I thought Bailey was hotter than Jennifer.
That was always like the big debate. Like is Bailey hotter than Jennifer? And then I was doing the show this morning
with Erin who was up here with me,
and she was like, well, that's kinda like the debate
of the Suzanne Summers Chrissy character
versus the Janet character on Three's Company.
No, there is no debate.
There is not a human on the planet that's like,
you know who's hotter?
Janet is hotter than Chrissy.
Not a human on the planet feels that way. They
are a contrarian. It is a contrarian hot take if you are someone who believes that Janet
is hotter, that's Joyce DeWitt, that Janet is hotter than Chrissy Suzanne Summers. When
the show started she had like a weird like Dutch boy haircut. Like there was nothing
attractive about Janet on threes company
Hell mrs. Roper may have been hotter than Janet. So like that's not really it
So those are kind of three that I think of when you think of like one of course friends, you know
you can debate real Rachel and
Whatever the hell the other care Phoebe. What are there's raw? There's Rachel and
what's the the what's a Courtney Cox's name? There's a
The fact that I don't know this either is really great or really terrible
It maybe it's really great because it means that I don't watch friends
So I'm not like a typical white who grew up in the 1990s who thinks friends is funny, but who's the other character Monica?
That's it. Okay. I take it back. I'm basic but um
So you'd go, and obviously
the hotter person on that is Jennifer Aniston, because there was just no body on Courtney
Cox and Phoebe Sneaky Hop, but whatever. But there weren't a ton of those debates.
I guess as a young kid you could have debated that when you would watch Saved by the Bell,
but how many people thought Elizabeth Berk Berkeley was hotter than Tiffany Amber Thiessen?
Or how many people thought that like, you know, Lisa Turtle was hotter than either one
of them?
Not to say that Lisa Turtle wasn't hot, not to say that Elizabeth Berkeley wasn't hot.
Elizabeth Berkeley showed her ta-tas in the showgirls film.
Wonderful cans.
I want to say she showed her boobies in any given Sunday as well, because she like hooks
up with Al Pacino
like kind of early in the movie I think like he like pays her for sex and he's like hey
do you take a check? So she's hot like the idea that Elizabeth Berkeley isn't hot is
false but there's no one on the planet if you lined all three of them up you got Lisa
Turtle you got you got Kelly Kap, and you got Jesse Spano.
There's nobody who's taking Jesse Spano
or Lisa Turtle over Kelly Kapowski.
It could be Kelly Kapowski is Mount Rushmore
hot chick TV show.
Mount Rushmore.
Then you get her on the,
you get her in those episodes of 90210.
Was she on 90210 or Melrose Place or both?
They're on all these Aaron Spelling shows.
She was a rock star so
and super hot so
Nobody would take any of the other people certainly not Tory of the old leather jacket Tory from saved by the bell
You wouldn't take her either
But there aren't a ton of those like when you look back on it now like you had the the the debate about
You had ginger Marianne
Maybe people debated their favorite Charlie's
Angel but I'd say that Farrah Fawcett was probably the biggest, not even probably, she
was the biggest star of that.
But there weren't a ton of those, there weren't as many of those as you would think.
There weren't as many of the, you know, hey, would you take blank or blank in this scenario.
But it was certainly one of them on WKRP, kind of an underrated one. Bailey
or Jennifer. And I would take Bailey. I just liked the brunette and the glasses and I thought
it looked good. And you got a great TV show theme song. Like, I love the show. And I just
lived the radio life and now I'm town to town up and down the dial. So, you know, it kind
of, it kind of hits different for me. Great TV show theme song though. It's among the
elites, kind of like Family Ties.
This is quality.
I bet we've been together for a million years.
And I bet we'll be together forever.
I am hoarse, I apologize. I think I've got allergies. You got your own problems, but
I got allergies.
And I can't remember what I ever did before. What would we do, baby? What would we do, baby? Without us. What would we do, baby?
Without us.
And there ain't no nothing we can't love each other through.
What would we do, baby?
Without us.
Sha-na-na-na.
What do you think the Christmas dinners are like with Justine and Jason Bateman?
You got Jason Bateman who's like hardcore left wing, like knees all, he's like diving
head first into it.
And then you've got his sister Justine who's like not MAGA, but it's like right wing.
Like imagine that, like the conversations they have together and the explosiveness at
Thanksgiving.
Yeah, Justine Bateman, she was nice on that show. like the conversations they have together and the explosiveness of Thanksgiving.
Yeah, Justine Bateman, she was nice on that show. Then there was also, of course, the aforementioned Three's Company, another classic theme song.
Come and knock on our door. We've been waiting for you.
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his.
Three's company too.
Come and dance on our floor.
Come and dance on our floor.
Take a step that is new.
We will love a whole space that needs your face.
Three's company too. You'll see that life is apart again, laughter's calling for you.
Down and out rendezvous, Three's Company Two.
Yeah!
So, but WKRP probably on my Mount Rushmore of TV show theme songs, along with Perfect
Strangers which you know I love very much, Therese Company I love very much, Growing Pains I love very much.
And we were talking about this on the radio show.
You guys should check out the podcast of the radio show as well if you're looking for bonus
gist material.
But here's the problem.
I still don't think it's available on Apple or Spotify or anything.
I think it's only available on the iHe radio app so download the free I heart radio app
Search for the Josh Ennis show and then just put that in your presets and then pop you're good
So you can have a little preset action then you can just go to the podcast anytime of the Josh Ennis show or the all
Up in this podcast whichever one or listen to both
but
Yeah, so we were talking about this today,
about this whole, about the TV show theme songs
and everything else, but we talked about it a lot.
We went a little bit more in depth in all of that.
So if you wanna check that out, download the podcast,
I'd appreciate it, and listen to it
or listen to it on the iHeart Radio app, whatever.
Also, I started drinking this
Liquid IV but it's a liquid IV plus energy and I think it's really giving me energy Which is exciting because normally around this time of day at 1230. I'm a zombie, but I'm not a zombie today
No, sir. I'm loaded with energy
And I can't wait for this damn show to get into place so I can start building the show cuz I want to kick people's
Ass in Detroit.
God!
Alright, anyway, so rest in peace Lonnie Anderson, rest in peace your wonderful bosom.
We did talk about the Mount Rackmore, because it's one of my favorites, Mount Rackmore,
and in this case it was the Mount Rackmore of 70s and 80s television slash movie slash
entertainment breasts.
And it was decided that the best of the 70s and 80s,
just as it relates to breasts,
Lonnie Anderson's on the list.
She's on Mount Rackmore.
We go with Dolly.
And although I think Dolly's breasts are way too big
and they're probably overrated,
the people spoke and Dolly's ta-tas are on there.
So there's two.
A one that like you forget about
but you shouldn't forget about because the bosom is wonderful
It's Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira
mistress of the dark she's awesome and a
Wonderful rack and still hot by the way, and I don't know that we ever put a fourth one on there
I tend to do that I get an idea we go and then I forget to put something on there. But feel free to add your third or sorry your fourth
to Mount Rackmore, but it has to be 70s and 80s. Like people kept sending in Pam Anderson
like no sir Pam Anderson doesn't count, she's not 70s and 80s Rack. We're looking for 70s
and 80s Racks. Somebody said Morgana the Kissing Bandit. We don't ride with Morgana the Kissing
Bandit because Morgana the Kissing Bandit had like comically large titties. We can't go with comically large titties. They
have to be beautiful titties but they can't be like gigantic like old man and up floats away
titties. Like it can't be the kind of titties that would like pop up to the surface of the water if
you went swimming. Like it can't be like that. You can't have titties that gigantic to make them good titties.
Those are carnival titties.
We're not here for carnival titties.
Anyway, more to come.
