Lucile Tarlek is from WKRP in Cincinnati?

Based on the fact that one of the main characters is Herb Tarlek.

Tue Feb 13, 2024, 10:34 PM
Feb 13

but he was the typical sales slime cad in the show always hitting on Jennifer or even Bailey.

I honest to God don't remember his wife appearing in any episode.

An episode in Season 1 when Herb & Lucille separated for a short time. (Herb stayed with Johnny for a few days)

Lucille played a major role in that episode.
(She appeared in other episodes as well)

I do know the actor that played him also played a part in the Dick Van Dyke show. I believe he was either the director or producer of the Alan Brady Show.

Part of his "crew" of street dealers, right?

Tweakers are basically junkies, aren't they? Or don't you count meth addicts?

But I think technically the term "junkie" isn't restricted to just heroin.

Well, I was close anyway. I'll take the partial points!

He was mostly a meth freak but he did do heroin with his neighbor/landlady Jane, so that makes him a junkie and a weaker.
