Tulsa TV Memories

Today’s random Al site finding points us to… *spinning the giant wheel of web sites*…

Tulsa TV Memories - “a nostalgic nod to all the oddball local shows that filled area airwaves from the 1950s to the 1970s — before the coming of cable”.

And of course, no page that mentions Tulsa could even be considered complete without an entire page devoted to the greatest movie in history, UHF, which was shot mostly on location in Tulsa in 1988.

Consisting of mainly movie screenshots, guest commentary, and even the experience of meeting Kevin McCarthy (who played R.J. Fletcher), this page provides the atmosphere of a friendly neighborhood so inviting that it just makes you want to pack up all of your stuff and move to Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain and the wavin’ wheat can sure smell sweet. Ahh… Oklahoma.
