Mr. Riley - like you, I was a fan of the orginal Chickenman series that ran in the middle sixties on stations around the U.S. and was acquired by the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service and distributed around the world to AFRTS outlets including AFVN.

I haeard it first while stationed in San Antonio as a young second lieutenant operating a television production team. I heard the series, got the radio station to send me a bumper sticker, and then convinced the DJ to give me reel-to-reel copies of the series. I lost them somewhere before or after Vietnam and nver replaced them, even though I was commander of American Forces Network - Europe in the mid to late eighties and easily could have made myself copies (didn't because it would have set a bad example and it would have been illegal).

So, imagine how happy I was to recently find Dick Orkin's website (he is the creator)www.radio-ranch.com.

There you can order the entire series for your very own.

Hope it helps you.
