I am sorry that I can't help you locate the tapes you want for your African- Americans on TV course, but I am interested in the topic and would also like to know if tapes of Julia and the Nat King Cole Show are available. As you probably know, Amos 'n' Andy and I Spy tapes are widely available (check any mall) and The Beulah Show is available from Video Yesteryear, as are some early Showtime at the Apollo shows. Unfortumnately, much of what I would most like to use (Nat King Cole, for example) I am unable to find. I teach a similar course (unfortunately, a brief one-week, one-credit summer course) and would like to exchange other information with you. Do you have a BITNET address?
