Yeah, but is that really the first one you've ever seen? Lucky man!Was that one of them Hissy Fits I've heard about?
There was a time when little men in white coats would have showed up and carried someone like this off.

Memories of Dr. Demento.
His weekly show went into syndication in 1974 and was syndicated by the Westwood One Radio Network from 1978 to 1992.
I as he nationwide?
I grew up listening to him, but thought he was just a SoCal thing.

Given the way Weird Al has put the guy on a pedestal for so long, I imagine that even if he were just a regional phenomenon, everyone would still know him.
But to answer your question, I grew up in Texas and Dr. Demento was available late nights from one of the radio stations out of San Antonio. I wasn't a regular fan but I know I caught his show a few times back in the 1970s. From Wikipedia:
Eagle 97. Kidd Kraddick was there prior to his syndication too.Talk about a walk down memory lane! I hadn't thought about Dr. Demento in years! Back in the late 1970's and the very early 1980's we could catch Dr. Demento on KEGL 97.1, a rock station out of Dallas on the weekends. Back then, I think he was required listening if you thought you were wanted to be one of the cool kids in high school!
Eagle 97. Kidd Kraddick was there prior to his syndication too.
Another one many of us listened to was KZEW, The Zoo 98 out of Dallas.
It was Z97 before it became the Eagle in the early 80's. The Zoo was more hard rock, and Q102 was another good rock station out of DFW then too.
