  • I was in 5th or 6th grade, and I lived to watch Soupy after class. I was in Culver City, literally down the road from the studios, and I went once to live Soupy show in a studio parking lot. It was like a Woodstock for 12-year-olds. I had thought I and my friends were the only ones who thought this guy was hilarious - apparently plenty of others were getting the jokes. In fact my entire thought process is based on 50s-era MAD magazines - Harvey Kurtzman - and Soupy.

  • . . . . . Put them in an envelope and send them to me, Soupy Sales, Channel 5, New York, New York. And you know what I’m going to send you? A postcard from Puerto Rico!”

  • It was January 1, 1965:

    Soupy: “Hey kids, last night was New Year’s Eve, and your mother and dad were out having a great time. They are probably still sleeping, and what I want you to do is tiptoe in their bedroom and go in your mom’s pocketbook and your dad’s pants, which are probably on the floor. You’ll see a lot of green pieces of paper with pictures of guys in beards . . . . .

  • i was dancing to soupy back1965 was 12 years old[58now] love soupy man he was funny the pie man r.i.p.

  • @fluffyxdestroy I worked in the videotape room in that era, and each reel of video tape cost $250. The beauty of video tape was that it COULD be re-used, unlike film. Remember show back then were LIVE, they had NO idea that people would want to view the SAME show, over and over. When he came back after his suspension, his shows were recorded on tape. Then when the time came for erasure, one of the tape operators took the tape home. I HOPE they guy still has them and gets them transferred

  • "Psychopathic now? FLEHHLALA"

  • i use ta watch this when i was very young around seven, i enter a funny photo contest in 1965 back then ..

  • I used to watch Soupy Sales every afternoon after school. I remember when he got thrown off the air for a week. He was promoting some fund raiser. He told all the kids to get their dad's wallets while dad was napping and take all the pictures of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln out and mail them in to the show. Evidently many kids took his advice.

  • soupy had a slightly twisted-unbalanced-punk vibe here...RIP

    howard stern had a great reminiscence about worshipping soupy as a kid...think it's on youtube

  • I remember a show where Soupy and Frank were looking out a window and kept asking each other, "How HIGH are we?" And then cracking up. One answer was something like "I think we're about almost there..." And the crew guys laughing at the inside-er joke about whatever they were on. This was way more than a kiddie show and way more went on there than anyone will admit. My father only laughed at 2 things - the Stooges and Soupy. People anymore don't know or appreciate schtick. RIP Soupy, Dear.
