@fluffythecat2 i remember soupy Sales so well,his show,the puppets the fractured radio, I saw live all three live episode that got him in trouble....and even as kid's we knew when he opened that door and cracked up even though we couldn't see what made him laugh it was likely some lewd joke of sorts. Soupy Sales was classic tv

Fond memories, my biggest humouristic influence.

What a fantastic story! Memories like this should be treasured, passed along, and never forgotten.

I'll never forget Don Riggs who did Safari on Saturday morning in Pittsburgh in the early '60s. He played Tarzan and Jungle Jim and Shena of the Jungle movies and we kids loved him.

He is one funny man. I miss comedy shows like Dean Martin they were funny. Clean cut shows. They were pros. And you don't have to use a lot of cussing words to be funny. They need to bring back the funny shows, I miss them.

Don Riggs did a sat morn childrens tv show in Pittsburgh in mid 60's "Safari" or something like that.
