WKRP: Venus Explains the Atom

My favorite moment in all of WKRP. Y'know that was a REALLY good show...! If you want to learn about the Atom...you need go no further!

Nucleus... You got it... Yeah!

I'm over 40 years old, and that's exactly how I learned about the atom. No other science lesson I've ever had has stuck in my head better than this one. I've learned lots of other things, but I can recite this lesson almost verbatim, and I've probably seen it only two or three times since the first time on TV.

All right, but why did you leave off the REST of it, where he talks about how sometimes you have to TAKE your education. "If you don't understand, you gotta stand up and say, hey teacher, I don't understand!"

He said, all I know is a bunch of gangs who live in a round neighborhood lmao!

Venus was that dude! I would watch this show back in the day to see where he would pop up. Only other people who were aiight were Fever and Bailey. SALUTE to the person who posted this up, one of my FAVORITE eps with Tim Reid. Peace! *smiling*

If you want to learn about the Atom...you need go no further!...oh there's quite a bit more to it than this but this remains a rather clever skit nonetheless
