Do you remember the "Chicken Man" radio series of the late-sixties
early-seventies, a thinly-veiled parody of the "Batman" genre?  I
don't remember too much about it, except that I think it was produced
in Chicago and ended up, at least, in San Francisco on KSFO's comedy
hour in the early/mid-seventies, and that it was very funny.
(And of course the hero was a crime-fighter dressed in a chicken
costume ...).

Some members of the cast are now doing radio commercials
(those particularly witty ones), including for radio advertising
itself, the SF Chronicle, the SF Giants (I think -- is that them
doing the `Crazy Crab' mascot commercial?), though I don't think
the are exclusively local ...

I am looking for any tapes of the series that you might know of
or where I can get such tapes.
