Never mind, you wanted me to answer his question. I cant.
It is a Area 51 deep Fox News Alex Jones question. That or a sitcom I never regularly watched.
Damn it, this is killing me. This has to be 1990s, but also not a sitcom I was into.
If it was Roseanne, please shoot me, I hate her. Home Improvement? I don't know.
No, no, and no. The answer is 'WKRP in Cincinnati'. Here's why:
'A Christmas Carol' refers to receptionist Jennifer Marlowe. Scrooge's old business partner was 'Jacob Marley'. Same initials.
'to cross over' refers to Andy Travis. 'Travis' means 'to traverse or cross over'.
'febrile' refers to Johnny Fever. 'Febrile' means exhibiting fever-like symptoms.
'a USian coin' - Bailey Quarters
'Charles Darwin' refers to Venus Flytrap (Darwin wrote 'Insectivorous Plants', one of the earliest treatments of the subject).
'an illustrious warrior' Refers to Herb Tarlek. The name 'Herbert' in German means 'illustrious warrior'.
'George Patton/Edward R. Murrow' - Les Nessman's two heroes.
'a bear with a father named 'Carl' Refers to Arthur Carlson. 'Arthur' derives from the Celtic 'artos', which means 'bear'. Carlson is self-explanatory.

Damn, I liked WKRP , but I haven't watched it in decades.
I loved Less Nessman and one of the most popular episodes was their thanksgiving episode where Less thought turkeys could fly and had them dropped out of the helicopter. Good stuff. And I had the hots for Bailey back then. But like I said, it's been a long time since I've watched that show.
I don't know why I didn't pick up on the Murrow hint, makes sense now though.
What was the puny award Less was always talking about? Or maybe it was some "report". But there was a running joke Less would always talk about some small no name thing he always built up as being something big.
Ok, another sitcom.
Name the show/character, who as a son, had a Richard Nixon fetish.
