Where did you get this list from? I've got a similar list from Mason Williams who worked on the show but it included Bobby Darin. Bobby's historian didn't know anything about that appearance and no one can find a copy.

If anyone out there has a copy of any of those Roger Miller Shows from the 60s, please contact me, I'll trade you some amazing stuff!

I hear tell that you can go to the museum of broadcasting in NYC and watch the first Roger Show with guest Bill Cosby. If you go, sneak in a video camera and contact me!

The show should have been an ongoing series but it seemed too much was happening all at the same time for Roger, add to that mixture things that people were taking that shouldn't have been taking and you have a potential train wreck. In fact, Roger blew up the train set on the last show because he didn't want anyone else using the set.

I'm dying to see those shows.

When researching at the Country Music Hall of Fame, I had a few days access to the video vaults and saw some unreal things. That would be the best place to work, thousands of video tapes in storage (none of the RM show from the 60s though).

I don't recall the name of the website, but it had "tv" in it. You had already been there, lol - it had a little forum-like section where you could post questions and hope someone would answer.

Yours was the only post and no one had answered yet - asking the same things as here, if anyone had video of any of the RM shows.

Mason was another Okie, like Roger. Okies always try to keep up a little with other Okies, you see. Now that I'm back in Texas, I don't hear as much about the others.
