of the WKRP in Cincinnati episode in which Mr. Carlson runs for city council, finds out the incumbent is a closet alcoholic and blurts it out during a televised debate. His poll numbers shoot up, but he decides he doesn't want to win that way, so he and his campaign staff (the KRP staff, naturally) switch to an anti-campaign. It was hilarious.
