Back in 1983, I met a woman who reminded me of Jan Smithers as Bailey Quarters. Blue eyes, long honey blonde hair, glasses, and a slender figure. We were married in 1990 and have been going strong ever since.
Right there with you, although I must be three or four years older than you. As I was in early 20’s when I started crushing on her. Look at recent photos of her. Obviously she has aged, but oh so gracefully. And she still has that wonderful sparkle in her eyes.
Exactly! Jennifer was the girl everyone wanted to take out Friday night, but Bailey was you all weekend girlfriend! Jan Smithers in those painted on jeans and tight sweaters drove me crazy. But if she wasn't in the scene you had always had Loni Anderson and her knockout body and great looks to gaze upon! Late 70's-early 80's sitcoms rocked!
Jennifer and Bailer were like a Lamborghini and a Bullitt Mustang. Everyone admires a Lamborghini and wants to drive one once, but also knows they're expensive and high maintenance. Everyone wants a Bullitt Mustang because it's high performance, and you want to keep it forever.
I was about to post the same thing. Her arc in the show was the most pronounced as she went from very shy to very self assured without losing that quality that made her very relatable.
Damn she was beautiful! And on top of that she lived in Halifax for a few years! I wish I knew! No T and A, No leg show! Conservatively dressed. Absolutely gorgeous! One of the prettiest women on TV ever!
Great compilation! You covered it all. The sweet inocent, nervous Bailey, playing the stoner Bailey, the strong self confident Bailey, the Sexy Bailey, the philosophical Bailey, the joking Bailey, the technically inclined Bailey the international syndicate Bailey...etc etc. (Plus as an added bonus, you reminded me that Les figured out that whole Jimmy Hoffa thing!) 👍🤪🤣
Hey thanks! It would be cool if Jan Smithers saw this one. Hope she would like it. I liked Venus's comment at the end.. because I worked swing shift at a newspaper and couldn't wait for all the suits to leave at 5pm too!
Did you notice that she and Les are looking straight across at the guy? Bailey says he's on the 16th floor. WKRP was on the 5th floor. Shouldn't they have been looking up?
The ideal woman? She finally comes home with you for the night. And you wake up in the morning and she is even more beautiful than the night before. Bailey is one of these women.
Another show to watch, man the old sitcoms are cool. thanks for introducing me to this masterpiece. it's called "WKRP in Cincinnati" for those who wants to know the name [like me]
This arguably thee best Bailey composition ever posted on UA-cam. Thank You David for all your effort. This was such a wonderful dose of nostalgia and great memories.
I originally wasn’t going to comment, and then I watched her say “big boy” with those beautiful eyes, and hair and cheeks and lips and I had to say something…she makes me melt every time I see her.
Dave K you have great taste! Love The Honeymooners, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi “What do you do when you come to a red light?” But WKRP tops them all and what a Doll Bailey is love her!
She’s the one who convinced Andy to get Rev Little Ed Pembroke to stop hawking his “Dead Sea Scroll Steak Knives” on his Sunday broadcast. By reporting him to the IRS for an audit. Next to the Turkey Drop episode, that one ranks a close second. 😅😅😅
I’ll never forget my mom griping at my dad for “liking that woman” on WKRP.. And I was like, Lonnie Anderson?.. And she said no, the other one.. And then my dad enviously quipped “Jan Smithers”.. lol..
Thanks! I put her friend Farfel the dog next to her too. YT analytics show most people skip the end credits and miss the stinger I put in most of these videos. I thought this had a good one.
Off topic. HH was perfect as a Rock DJ. I always picture him when I listen to Jim Ladd. A famous DJ in Los Angeles. He was on KMET and KLOS in LA. Now on Sirius.SWrote a book called "Radio Waves. And a good friend of Tom Petty. Tom wrote the the song "The Last DJ" inspired by Jim.
Bailey didn't need makeup or blonde hair to be gorgeous and don't get me wrong, Jennifer was smokin, but give Bailey some tight jeans, a T shirt and those nerdy glasses and Wow🥵🥵🥵
Jennifer was across the street hot. She looks good from across the street, but once you get on the same side of the street you see how thick the makeup is, how plastic the hair looks, and just how high maintenance she would be. Bailey is the kind of women you could spend the rest of your life with.
They left out the one where she's flipping lit matches at Herb's polyester suit. But a nice selection nevertheless. Loved the stylish outfit in the Wolfgang bit at 9:26. Dressed up or down she was always hot.
Season 2, episode 21-22, ‘Filthy Pictures’ Bailey was teasing Travis for being in a swimsuit photo shoot with Jennifer. I like the way she just cut Herb off at the knees when he tries to hit on her.
Jan Smithers' comedy and acting chops seriously underrated. It was a great show with a truly one of a kind cast.
What a great video. I could watch another several hours of Bailey. Just a beautiful woman in so many ways. ❤❤❤❤
70's jeans were MADE for Bailey 🥰
If you mean those black tailored slacks. Yeah,!
Back in 1983, I met a woman who reminded me of Jan Smithers as Bailey Quarters. Blue eyes, long honey blonde hair, glasses, and a slender figure. We were married in 1990 and have been going strong ever since.
I'm still crushin' on Bailey. Been since I was in high school.
Right there with you, although I must be three or four years older than you. As I was in early 20’s when I started crushing on her.
Look at recent photos of her. Obviously she has aged, but oh so gracefully. And she still has that wonderful sparkle in her eyes.
Me too.
😍
Who wasn't?
WKRP had an absolute dream cast, and Jan/Bailey was so perfect in all the situations in which she was placed.
I absolutely adored Bailey. It was another Ginger or Mary Ann situations. I always went for Mary Ann and Bailey. The ultimate girl next door.

Yes!
WROWRRR…!
Me too ; so sweet and cute ❤
Mrs Howell & Mrs Carlson for me...
Bailey is SO ADORABLE!!!
Bailey is sooo beautiful!!
Jennifer and Bailer were like a Lamborghini and a Bullitt Mustang.

Watched originally for Loni.
Came back for the TRUE beauty of the show, possibly the most underrated TV hottie of that entire era...
13 minutes of Bailey. What a way to remember my high school years. Yabba dabba do.
When this show was on we didn't know how good we had it! Sigh!
Jan Smithers was a gem on the show. She had a great character arc.
I was about to post the same thing. Her arc in the show was the most pronounced as she went from very shy to very self assured without losing that quality that made her very relatable.
Without the very lovely Loni Anderson you wouldn’t notice the complete opposite of the character that Jan Smithers brought to the character.
Excellent video honouring an above average actor who stole my heart decades ago!
And she's still pretty...
Bailey is adorable. Had a big crush on her back in the day. This is one of my favorite TV shows.
The fact that I got named after Bailey is crazy
The guy she was acting stoned with was Palmer in “The Thing”. The “you gotta be f*cking KIDDING!” guy.
Absolutely loved her performance in "the consultant". All the women shined in that episode
I fell in love with Bailey with the "M&Ms" scene.
Damn she was beautiful! And on top of that she lived in Halifax for a few years! I wish I knew! No T and A, No leg show! Conservatively dressed. Absolutely gorgeous! One of the prettiest women on TV ever!
Bailey melted me like butter in the Arizona sun. She was to "hot," as hot is to cold!
One of my favorite sitcoms, right up there with Taxi, brings back sooo many memories 😢, how I miss them Thanks mucn
When Bailey walked in wearing Johnny's t-shit, I almost fainted.
Yes, she filled it up quite nicely!
One of the most beautiful women on tv.
Outstanding work here. Thanks for sharing.

Hope she would like it.

David got this right!
Dave K ! You rock
The opening scene of Bailey and Les looking out the window, sharing a quite moment is one of my favorite in the series
Did you notice that she and Les are looking straight across at the guy?
Bailey says he's on the 16th floor.
WKRP was on the 5th floor.
Shouldn't they have been looking up?
I always liked how Bailey was the only one who didn't have to "knock" on Les' door.
The ideal woman? She finally comes home with you for the night. And you wake up in the morning and she is even more beautiful than the night before. Bailey is one of these women.
She sure is. My kind of lady. She is awesome. That look..that smile...the sound of her voice. She melts my ♥. Very adorable..very sexy...wow!!!
*Bailey was stacked!*
Another show to watch, man the old sitcoms are cool. thanks for introducing me to this masterpiece.
it's called "WKRP in Cincinnati" for those who wants to know the name [like me]
Love the segment at 2:00. Great interpretation of the Nestle' jingle. Johnnie must have been feeding her some "refreshments".
A truley great character what a part she Played!!! Neat
Bailey , I adored her!
This arguably thee best Bailey composition ever posted on UA-cam. Thank You David for all your effort. This was such a wonderful dose of nostalgia and great memories.
Thanks. It was nice that Bailey was given more each season and Jan Smither's grew in her role.
Always loved Bailey. Huge crush....
I originally wasn’t going to comment, and then I watched her say “big boy” with those beautiful eyes, and hair and cheeks and lips and I had to say something…she makes me melt every time I see her.
Loni Anderson and Jan Smithers. WOW!
Bailey Quarters , the ALL AMERICAN GIRL ! Jennifer was beautiful Bailey was approachable AND Adorable.
You did it again, Dave! Some of my favorite WKRP moments, and some of the best of Bailey's.
Thanx for sharing!
Right on!
@@DaveNarn 👍😊
The Farful scene had me on the floor back when the show was originally on when I was in my twenties. Loved Jan Smithers.
Kudos to who ever wrote that line, she delivered it perfectly, '..the dog' lol!
Dave K you have great taste! Love The Honeymooners, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi “What do you do when you come to a red light?” But WKRP tops them all and what a Doll Bailey is love her!
She’s the one who convinced Andy to get Rev Little Ed Pembroke to stop hawking his “Dead Sea Scroll Steak Knives” on his Sunday broadcast. By reporting him to the IRS for an audit. Next to the Turkey Drop episode, that one ranks a close second. 😅😅😅
Bailey was my first TV Crush
She had a great part in the show!!
8:00 Bailey in jeans with her hair mussed - SIGH! How could anyone even look at Jennifer when Bailey was around? The woman was a GODDESS!
Right on! Bailey Rules!!
Make that a GODDESS N A HALF! Just saying.
Totally agreed she had more sex appeal and wit more than jennifer plus there wasnt a guy that didn't crush hard on her .😍😍😍
Actually, she's still pretty hot even now...
My jaw hit the flippin floor when she walked in. And toward the end of that bit, the 'little girl' eyes......
Bailey had a perfect face.
Perfect woman for the decade.
Yes, the perfect late 70's early '80's woman!
I could watch her read the phone book.
Oh Venus. "I'll be glad when all these white folks go home!" I'm laughing so hard I'm having a difficult time typing this. 🤣🤣🤣
at 2;02 starts my favorite scene with her in it, and at 3:28 she gives a look that gets me every time
Same here, that's my favorite Bailey scene.
What a wonderful beautiful woman 😊
I LOVED Bailey --------she was a total babe !
Jan Smithers was the glue of this show.
Bailey is the 80s Pam.
What a truly beautiful woman. Imo, she's a hundred times sexier than Loni Anderson.
At least 😍!
Bailey wrote the book on the sexy librarian!🫶🏽🫶🏽
Jennifer: For the night/weekend.
Bailey: Forever
What man in his right mind would ever turn Bailey down if she asked them out for a Date.
I’ll never forget my mom griping at my dad for “liking that woman” on WKRP.. And I was like, Lonnie Anderson?.. And she said no, the other one..
And then my dad enviously quipped “Jan Smithers”.. lol..
bailey is a sweet nice girl the kind you could bring home to meet your mom
She was great as Bailey quarters
Bailey......that's all I need....
Love the picture in the background at 12:00 Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisberg Twin Sons Of Different Mothers.
Thanks! I put her friend Farfel the dog next to her too.
YT analytics show most people skip the end credits and miss the stinger I put in most of these videos.
I thought this had a good one.
Missed the time she had a date with Johnny Fever, and he stood her up. Good scene for her.
Bailey is sooo beautul!!
Bailey is sooo beautiful!!!
As many times as I've seen Bailey do the 'traffic\ops stoned chic', I laugh my butt off. She was the best!
8:11 That JBF hair...
DAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM!!! 🔥🔥😍😍
When this was on I always thought Bailey was the babe on the show.
Jan Smithers was a hottie!!
Off topic. HH was perfect as a Rock DJ. I always picture him when I listen to Jim Ladd. A famous DJ in Los Angeles. He was on KMET and KLOS in LA. Now on Sirius.SWrote a book called "Radio Waves. And a good friend of Tom Petty. Tom wrote the the song "The Last DJ" inspired by Jim.
She's the original hot secretary with glasses!
Wow!
Ginger and Maryann. Bailey and Jennifer. My God.
Bailey is a Hottie
She stole every scene she was in. Even if she was just atmosphere in that scene, all attention went to her.
It's a shame Bailey refused to hook up with Johnny when they lived together for a few days. The story would have been better if she had.
OMFG BAILY!
Bailey didn't need makeup or blonde hair to be gorgeous and don't get me wrong, Jennifer was smokin, but give Bailey some tight jeans, a T shirt and those nerdy glasses and Wow🥵🥵🥵
6:24 lawd have mercy Bailey in the Jeans
11:00 My heart rate TRIPLED.
Is your name Bailey Nickels? No. Quarters. I'm still trying to find that episode. I think Ms Carlson asked that question to her. 😄
*Nichols
It's from the "Dear Liar" episode. :)
Just a great time the ‘70s and Bailey broke the mold for the “sexy librarian” look… Yum!
Jan Smithers was priceless and she was hotter than Jennifer.
Jennifer was across the street hot. She looks good from across the street, but once you get on the same side of the street you see how thick the makeup is, how plastic the hair looks, and just how high maintenance she would be.
Bailey is the kind of women you could spend the rest of your life with.
I always thought Jan Smithers was the hot chic in that show as a kid. I guess Loni appealed more to the older crowd back then.
The turkey show the cop testing Johnny's reflexes on air the photos of Jennifer episode the bomb at the tower so many epic episodes
Team Bailey.
Daphne Moon From Frasier (the early seasons) Has Strong Resemblance To Bailey.
They left out the one where she's flipping lit matches at Herb's polyester suit.
But a nice selection nevertheless. Loved the stylish outfit in the Wolfgang bit at 9:26. Dressed up or down she was always hot.
10:52.....Bailey doing a damn fine impression of Arthur Dietrich from Barney Miller.
I heard that she was supposed to have been Elvira Mistress of the Dark!
2:00 - 4:23 minutes ...
... Farfel ... the dog ...
Stone cold fox !
She was soooo hot ,went out and found me her look alike , got married lol , never would own up to that one lol
I'm still a simp for Bailey.
Can anyone identify the episode starting at 6:33 and ending at 7:20?
Season 2, episode 21-22, ‘Filthy Pictures’ Bailey was teasing Travis for being in a swimsuit photo shoot with Jennifer.
I like the way she just cut Herb off at the knees when he tries to hit on her.
@@DaveNarn Thanks Dave.
Nessman gives out a conspiracy theory. Was WKRP sponsored by QAnon?
Bailey Quarters, Janet Wood and Mary Ann Summers AKA Jan Smithers, Joyce Dewitt and Dawn Wells.
The three hottest women ever on television.
Bailey was a terrible actress. But who really cares she was such a sweetheart.
Man I miss those days.
Forget Loni Anderson Bailey was smoking hot!
