Andy: Johnny, mind if I talk to Les alone for a minute?
Johnny: Not at all. Someone should.

Andy: Does the name Sparky mean anything to you?
Johnny: Does it! Black and white collie, ran away from home, broke my heart.

Andy: I hate looking like a bad guy!
Johnny: Hey, you never look bad.
Andy: I know.

Les's intro for Sparky's show:
Les Nessman presents, in co-operation with WKRP sports, usually done by Les Nessman, Sparky's Bullpen, with Sparky Anderson. Instead of Les Nessman.

Sparky: Derek, this indoor soccer's a new sport. Could you tell us about it?
Derek: Oh yah. It's beautiful. It's soccer played indoors like in a hockey rink. Sort of soccer-hockey.
Sparky: Boy, that's an interesting combination. What are the rules?
Derek: I don't know really. I don't care.
Sparky: I see. How does your team look?
Derek: Well, mostly Venezuelan.

Sparky: Hi, you're in the Bullpen.
Caller: Hello, Sparky?
Sparky: Yeah.
Caller: How are you?
Sparky: Good.
Caller: That's good.
Sparky: Yeah.
Caller: Uh huh.
Sparky: How are you?
Caller: Good.
Sparky: That's good.
Caller: Well, thanks a lot. Bye!

Jennifer: I study trivia. That's why I know everything there is to know about you, Herb.

Les: Ooo! What a day! I love oxygen!

Les: Last night, I had a really weird dream about a new show for Sparky.
Mr Carlson: Well, let's hear it.
Les: Well, we were all right here, just as we are now, discussing this new show with Sparky, except you didn't look like yourself, Mr Carlson. You looked more like a large ... muffin.
Jennifer: Muffin?
Les: Yes, a nice breakfast muffin. And you said that you had an exciting announcement.
Mr Carlson: Well?
Les: Well, you sang it. (Singing)
"I'm a big fat muffin that loves to eat,
"A big fat muffin that has no feet.
"But most of all I'm a big fat muffin that looooves
"To explode."
And then you did.

Sparky: Every time I come into this town I get fired!
