1. I had not heard any Tooth Fairy before.

   Posted by Rodney Elin

   I had not heard any Tooth Fairy before. I bought it sight unseen based on my enjoyment and pleasure from Chickenman. I can say that I am glad that I paid what I did to get the complete Tooth Fairy. The quality is wonderful and it sounds excellent. I loved the inclusion of the Tooth Ranger card, which I now carry and display proudly in my wallet.i

2. — it ain't cheap, but the quality is there.

   Posted by Robert Cowan

   I became cognizant (big word, great, eh? — shades of the verb "to wreak") of Chickenman in the mid 60's, listening to Jim Runyan on WCFL. Buried in the bowels (well, I had a stall I worked in...) of a gasoline station (Skelly, anyone remember them?) in Beloit, Wis., I listened on a bare bones radio chassis and speakers I purchased from Burstein-Applebee, a great old surplus electronics house in Kansas City, run by a couple of 75 year old ladies.
   
   It took about 2 weeks for the effect of listening to the show to set in (on the shop) — first of me switching to or turning up the volume of the daily episode, later on, the whole shop would become silent — eyes turned inward, slack mouthed, drooling, with a bit of minor paralysis — well, okay, so we listened, minorly enraptured. The smirky smiles usually lasted at least an hour.
   
   I had never even heard of the Tooth Fairy before I was contacted {as an owner of the Chickenman collectors package}. Sure enough, about 10 episodes in, the story, plus the Orkin magic, took over. This series is just as much fun as the Chickenman series. I will recommend the Molar Marauder for any fan of the Orkin touch — it ain't cheap, but the quality is there.

3. I enjoyed it as much as Chickenman.

   Posted by Rick Norwood

   I'm very happy with the Tooth Fairy CDs. I enjoyed it as much as Chickenman. If I had not already been a fan of Chickenman, though, I would probably not have bought the Tooth Fairy. I was very happy with the package. It was expensive. But, for me, worth it.

4. The Tooth Fairy kickstarted my interest in radio and radio production.

   Posted by Mark Seignious

   It's awesome! I have played it for friends, family, colleagues and classes...The Tooth Fairy kickstarted my interest in radio and radio production. What a blast! I am swept away into the nostalgia of the molar marauder and Nurse Durkin... I have never missed the money I spent on it...What did I spend, anyway?

5. I want to compliment you on your Tooth Fairy collection.

   Posted by Roger Muenger

   I want to compliment you on your Tooth Fairy collection. I never heard it when it first aired but I was a big Chickenman fan so ordered it as soon as you made it available. I listen to a few episodes at a time and enjoy them immensely.

6. If you loved the Winged Warrior, you'll love the Molar Marauder as well.

   Posted by Mark Ehli

   I was not familiar with the radio program The Secret Adventures of the Tooth Fairy when I received an e-mail announcing its release. But when I realized that the Tooth Fairy came from the same comic minds that brought us Chickenman, I did not hesitate in submitting my order. I am completely satisfied with the Tooth Fairy CD's. If you loved the Winged Warrior, you'll love the Molar Marauder as well."

7. I usually listened to the original airings of The Secret Adventures of The Tooth Fairy while walking to school

   Posted by Edward Floden

   As with Dick Orkin's previous radio serial, Chickenman, I usually listened to the original airings of The Secret Adventures of The Tooth Fairy while walking to school, with a cheap transistor radio up to my ear and WCFL on the dial. Two-and-half minutes of comedy (including commercials) helped to prepare me for the day's mindless recitation of facts from a Social Studies book that seemed to find war as the only meaningful measure of man's progress. Ah, the '70s!
   
   Now I'm returning to those Thrilling Days Of Yesterday with The Complete Secret Adventures of The Tooth Fairy, and I realize that Newton Snookers' journey is eerily similar to mine: as he travels through life, knowing that his mission is truth, he is constantly thwarted by the minutiae of existence and the small minds that block progress. Argh!

8. We enjoy Chickenman, too. But, we LOVE Tooth Fairy.

   Posted by Larry Schilling

   My wife and I are delighted to have the Tooth Fairy CDs. And our very own Tooth Ranger Card, too! Too good to be true. This really brings back memories.
   
   We and our friends were huge Tooth Fairy fans back in our college days. Over the years, my wife and I have continued to use phrases from the Tooth Fairy (such as "Doctor, Doctor" , "fairy phone" , "We're the Durango Sisters", "the mammoth dental organ", "hit it Raoul","this isn't happening to me", "prontodante", "rinse", "gum pink jammies with feet in them", etc.) while mimicking character voices. Our current friends look at us kind of funny and we really enjoy our inside joke.
   
   We have one old lousy cassette tape with a few scratchy episodes on it we recorded way back then and we play it when we run across it. One day after playing it, I did a Google search on Tooth Fairy. Didn't find anything, so I tried Chickenman and that's how I found your site. Chickenman was available and we ordered it while hoping Tooth Fairy would become available soon. When Tooth Fairy became available, we ordered it immediately. (We enjoy Chickenman, too. But, we LOVE Tooth Fairy.)
   
   We are working our way through the episodes (about half-way now) and really having fun with it. The audio quality and value are great. We will expose our friends to it when we think they are ready (like while drinking).

9. The quality is great and the series is hilarious.

   Posted by Mike Schwartz

   After listening to The Tooth Fairy series in Chicago in the early 1970's, it was like going back to "the good old days" when I played the CD's. The quality is great and the series is hilarious. If you liked Chickenman, you will love The Tooth Fairy.

10. I remember listening to both "Chickenman" and "The Tooth Fairy" episodes on KXOK

    Posted by Kent Yoest

    I remember listening to both "Chickenman" and "The Tooth Fairy" episodes on KXOK (AM 630) from St. Louis. The series ran mostly during my high school and early college years. Since things like "Laugh In" came along in the same era, and then "Saturday Night Live," and "Monty Python's Flying Circus," (much later), I think a lot of my adult sense of humor was formed by these two radio serials. I'm not trying to be profound, but they were certainly part of my generation's "coming of age."
    
    I sort of followed Mr. Orkin's career after the two radio series ended, of course recognized his voice on many of the great commercials he did. I even remember hearing an interview with him about his advertising work (he was talking about the little rubber feet on a Rockwell hand calculator, and why they chose to use that as the focus of an ad. It was a great find for me when I learned you were selling sets of the "Chickenman" series, and now "the Tooth Fairy," which is why I never hesitated to order both.
