He refers to our hero as “The Famous Teddy Z.” I don’t think that’s happened before.

4️⃣ One of 4 scripts for the show by #BobWilcox (The New #WKRPinCincinnati). It’s really clever, and the ending is superb!

📺 December 1989 - January 1990: CBS aired #TheFamousTeddyZ in the first hour of Monday primetime, between #MajorDad and #MurphyBrown. Against it: #MacGyver on ABC; #21JumpStreet on Fox; #TheHoganFamily on NBC.
