Where has all the talent gone? Oh, that's right...reality shows!

Binge drinking, chewing tobacco, and sports betting -- now that's my idea of a kiddie's show! I remember on one show Soupy warned, "Now remember, don't drink and drive. You may hit a bump and spill your drink!"

I always wondered why when I watched this as a child with my father he would be laughing more than I was--now that I am an adult--I get it!

Soupy, Pookie and White Fang, my all time favorites. None better. Comedy today is sad.

The Old West --- the video is really old. lol

I was lucky enough to be growing up in Detroit way back in late 1950's through 1960's. We watched Soupy on WXYZ TV in Detroit (where it was filmed). These old videos are still so funny today. On TV today, everything is scripted on teleprompters. No spontaneous humor. The closest thing to Soupy was Pee Wee Herman, way back in the 1980's. - gregg in Sarasota, FL (home of Pee Wee Herman).

I used to be in the studio when his shows aired, and it was hilarious! He was so talented. The crew had a great time with him as well. I have very fond memories of being in that studio. In fact the first Muppet's pilot was shot in this studio! (I was the one who recorded it) Soupy's shows were only recorded after his suspension, some of the tapes DO exist, but I don't think we will ever get to see them. :(

It seems to me that Soupy Sales was in tune with the divine.

@unclebill713 Pookie passed away on December 22, 1999, exactly three months after Soupy Sales himself passed. After Sales died, Pookie, looking for financial sustenance, turned to a New Orleans sugar daddy by the name of Crawfish Houdini whom gave Pookie ample renumeration to sustain his upkeep in comfort. Unfortunately this involved unsavory carnal favors that resulted in terminal pathology for Pookie, God rest him.

The name of the song is "Chew Tobacco Rag." The singer is Tim Tayshun. There was a CD available, but it is now out of print. You can buy it used, but do it fast.

@yowzephyr You're right. Red Ingle and The Natural Seven. Their album is available once again on Amazon in an expensive import.
