Does anyone know what year these interviews are from? Thanks

These gentlemen are three of my TV Heroes from the 60's!
Neat interview!

I moved to NYC in 1957 at age ten, and "Uncle" Fred Scott and Sandy Becker were the one-two punch every evening at 6-7 PM with their Looney Toons. As for Soupy .... well, what can you say!! (Clyde Adler was the original White Fang, Black Tooth, etc., before Frank Nastasi!) Stewart Klein was also the greatest! Thanks for these memories "Sandysoup"!

I never see Little Miss Loverly the chicken from Soupy Sales or Chuck McCann

Not quite. Believe it or not all of these daily live kids shows ended in 1968. Wonderama lasted until the late 1970's. All long before Mr. Murdoch.

RIP Uncle Fred Scott who just passed last week.

This was great fun to watch. In 1965 and 66 I was part of the "gang" that watched Soupy's show live in the studio from WNEW every day during the summer months. He was and still is the greatest person of our time. He was ALWAYS kind and generous to all his fans. He is a wonderful entertainer and human being.
These guys, remember, were making about $175 a week, if I remember right. They, as Soupy sez, did it all..nearly. So when you see the class WNEW hired, you have to wonder how could this all have ended? I mean the stuff on now is better? Thanks, from a Wagner College, Staten Island, student of 1964.
