WKRP was my favorite show growing up. RIP, Big Guy.

LOS ANGELES, Sept 22 — Actor Gordon Jump, who played a befuddled radio station manager on “WKRP in Cincinnati” as well as the lonely Maytag repairman, has died. He was 71.

A COUSIN SAYS Jump suffered from a condition called pulmonary fibrosis. She says Jump is believed to have died at his home in Orange County, California. Jump portrayed the Maytag repairman “Ol’ Lonely,” a well-recognized advertising symbol, from 1989 until he retired from the role in July and actor Hardy Rawls took over. Jump played Arthur Carlson in “WKRP in Cincinnati,” which aired on C-B-S from 1978 to 1982. Funeral services are pending.

That quote is probably one of the funniest ever in a sit-com. I met Jump once at a Republican Convention in Houston (back when I gave a damn about politics). He was a pretty nice guy, but seemed to be dis-interested in a young Dr of Dunk.

Oh well...

I was too young for that one but that line rules!

And I definitely know the Maytag man.

RIP

I hope that if his family shows a retrospective of his acting career at his funeral, they don't include his guest appearance on Diff'rent Strokes.

I forgot about that one. Yuck.

I guess my favorite WKRP was when Herb accidently made out with a man.

If anyone is interested, I think the episode on now on TV Land is the "turkey" episode. :D
