    I'm a lifelong fan of the series. Do any of you, as I do, have the series on digital media (CD)? If so, help me identify by episode description, the episode (maybe there's than more than one?) where Miss Helfinger laughs long, loud, and raucously/sarcastically, at Chickenman.

    WOW. I did not know this was a thing. Grew up listening to it on the stations from Amarillo as a kid. Good luck.

    Yeah Pops, I think it first came on the air when you were about 10 years old.

    Ha! Never mind. One of my bud's found it. It wasn't Miss Helfinger per se, it was a purse snatch victim in the department store who'd called for help & CM came to the rescue. Man what a nasty laugh - better'n Ray Liotta.

    I remember that Fina gas stations had a series of free Chickenman bumper stickers in the early to mid 60s.

    They were always one liners like; “Chickenman likes blue rabbits”. A piss poor made up example. The point is, I never understood them because I was unaware that it was a radio program. I just figured that it was some made up promotion.

    Now it all makes sense!

    I was probably about 10 years old the last time I remember hearing it. That would have been 1965.

    I used to play the episodes during the morning show on the Houston radio station I worked at in mid-60's.

    A couple years ago the featured lady did a series or fire-ant killer commercials, a couple of which had to be pulled because they were too intense: "die, die, die !"

    Chickenman totaled 221 or 222 episodes (there's 2 versions of the introductory episode) at ~2.5 minutes per episode. After the 1965 premiere year (I 1st heard it on KONO AM in Santone & I believe their sister stations KLIF & KTSA ran it also), it would come back again here & there as a single-sponsored series. Shakey's in San Angelo ran it on local AM station in early 70s. AM station in Waco had it in mid-70s, Austin KNOW AM in early 80s and on and on. I have a WordPad list of episodes as well as the CDs. I'm sorely lacking the Tooth Fairy series.
