Good old Soupy. 1965 was still a time of after school kids shows. A cold dark winter after school day would also include, Sandy Becker , Chuck McCann , Joe Bolton, and many others. Its funny i dont remember many kids going outside in the winter. We had great kids shows,dinner and homework in those days. We called dinner , supper , in those days. Goodbye my old after school pal ,Soupy Sales . I will miss him.

This is the only show..where "White Fang"calls Soupy by his name..listen carefully..and prior to that grouchy woman calling on the phone..and "White Fang"says"Soupy".

I remember watching Soupy Sales with my parents when I was growing up.

One of the things I remember about the tv that we had is after adjusting the antenna everyone had to sit. If someone would get up the reception would go bad again then it would take like 5 minutes of re-adjusting the dang bunny ears again. LOL!!

We would laugh and have a good old time!! :)

I did and you surely are proud...Ray Young! The sheer insanity that went on, how he kept up with them all is amazing! I also loved the bid band ending...know the source?

@rty1955 I found Susskind to be, like Ted Brown a, a gentleman and as you aptly put a "great man." Today's O'Reilly or Obermann know nothing of polite discussion, and all of talk radio will never hear the likes of Mr. Susskind.

Thanks for reminding me of this.

I believe that the piano (honky tonk) was also used in some of Becker's show. I just think no one will ever, again, live to see how men could pull off such ad libs, and maintain viewers like these WNEW genius'

@gmonet46 If you go to the "Old West" clip, the closing credits had my dads name on them @ 7:29. He used to do the sound effects for the show..:)

@gmonet46 I forgot, there was a show called "with Mayor Lindsay" that was recorded in Sutdio-1 at WNEW. I think it aired on Sunday night. Also I fondly remember a great man, David Susskind. He was so gracious to everyone. He enjoyed working with his crew a lot, and he always remembered anyone who did a kind thing for him.

That is what made WNEW and WABC AM so refreshing...a percieved insanity, that was unbelievable while being better than many of us might have thought. I was a student at Parsons School of Design in the city and used to do art work for many fo the agencies hiring student interns. Bewteen the media and the John Lindsay 'camelot', that was NYC, there was never a better time (1963-1968) or place for me. Your "inside insight" is so wonderful to know! Thanks.
