In the late 1960s, J. R. “Bob” Dobbs pitched a show called “Secret Astronaut” to a regional (Texas) television station. Of course he was the star of the show as well. He even wrote the theme and played the drums! He directed the singers to mispronounce one word, one time, so “they’ll talk about it forever.” And how!

“Secret Astronaut” ran for three seasons and had regional popularity, but nobody thought to record it. Only a short video clip can be found on YouTube, filmed directly off the TV screen.
