  | Evan | As a kid growing up in the 1950s, I remember well the lunchtime Soupy Sales Show broadcast on WXYZ-TV Channel 7 Detroit. Soupy went on from there to the New York market, then later still in the 70s he took his unique show to the LA market, and syndication nationwide.
These shows are from his time at WNEW-TV, in New York City from 1965-66. As usual, there are great jokes and routines, and some misfires. With Soupy and crew's enthusiasm, it is always fun. These are sure to please!
It was at this time, his main assistant, and actor who played White Fang and Pookie, Frank Nastassi was shown on camera in some of Soupy's comedy sketches.
We sure do miss Soupy!
Transfers are from old Screen Gems syndication kinescopes, so quality is variable--but quite watchable. |
| | Kevin | | Ah, do I miss this guy! I thoroughly enjoyed this show as a kid on WNEW-TV Metromedia, New York's channel 5, and the enjoyment came from the unpredictability of the antics, here. Pookie, his lion puppet, would mime to the dubbed in pop music or Soupy would always check for the weather, turning the dial on the radio (yes, there were dials back then) with bits of pop music thrown in with comic advertisements...even when the gags backfired, Soupy's expressions were absolutely hilarious! I recommend this to any fan, and I'd sure love to see more of this series of disks, if this was a series. |
