As many readers know, I'm fond of my hometown of Tulsa, and I study television, among other things, in graduate school, so I was amped when I saw a link to Tulsa TV Memories posted on bOINGbOING. The site unfortunately doesn't provide any streaming video of old Tulsa TV, but it provides screenshots and synopses of locally-produced programming largely from the 1960s and 70s. I'm particularly fond of the Tulsa Counterculture page, which alleges that stodgy NPR outlet KWGS once aired a show called "Subterranean Underground" hosted by a jock called "The Foxy Lady." And, of course, the site devotes a lot of space to the late-night comedy show hosted by the mysterious Mazeppa. Growing up, I often heard my parents and teachers reminisce about Mazeppa and his all-expenses-paid vacations to Turley, but I've never seen the show myself. I've lusted for these Mazeppa tapes for years, but I have a hard time laying out that much cash for a show I've never seen.
