Fun 🤩 thanks

Black and white great 👍 funny 😆

As a child of the 50's and 60's, I joined the United States Marine Corps in 1971 at 17, I realized that Soupy was different than anyone else on T.V. at that time. Acid hadn't affected Hollyweird, (on the screen yet) but through life after listening to Flo n Eddy I now know Soupy was stoned. He had the best dope.

I never missed his show and what a thrill to see it here on KZbin! I believe that recording is Oscar Peterson and "Mumbles" (Clark Terry.)

Clown

Loved this show when I was a kid and still do at 78. Wish this kind of stuff was on now.

Soupy was one of the greats. Still funny after all these yrs.

Hilarity, stunningly intelligent writing(ad-libs?), and a lion puppet scat singing jazz. Right there with Bullwinkle and Ernie Kovacs. Never before, never again. Thanks, YT for the archives.

I watched Soupy in early 60s after school faithfully! Loved the show. One particular show Soupy grabbed Pookies hair and at the same time the puppet jerked quickly down ward. He accidentally yanked his hair off in his hand. Pookie popped up bald and Soupy and everyone else was laughing so hard. Loved it.

The song that Pookie's "sang" here is "Mumbles" by Clark Terry

Pookie rocks!

It's sad channel 7 Detroit kept so few episodes of Soupy when he started out there. Those were treasures they let slip away. I watched him everyday in the 1950s and early 1960s. Every kid in The Detroit area did. I'm 71 now.

No wonder I turned into a nut case. Particularly, when I remember when Soupy got caught for hanky panky.

Despite Pookie being in blackface 🫥 this was one of my first exposures to scat-style jazz as a 50s child. 😎📺

I was im the studio MANY times when this show was recorded. My dad did the sound effects for the show. Anyone remember "Philo Kvetch" or "Onions Oregano" ?

Rip and thank you soupy

WNEW CHANNEL 5 AFTER SCHOOL CLASSIC

I remember a movie that soupy was in. Does anybody remember name of movie????

There's a draft in here... Glad it didn't get me.

It wiggles like " JELL-O "

Growing up in NY never missed Soupy and crew on TV.

This show could never make it today, too good and no in-your-face humor!

I was addicted to this show.

There goes the budget. A puppet funnier than the comedians of today.

The Wayans brothers show had black in the hat, white mike, and pookie.

Stupid much?

No one like Soupy, a classic then and now ! Rip Soupy

I had forgotten that Animals song. This was great. The way the crew laughs in these sketches adds to the hilarity.

Loved Soupy. Saw him in person at his studio in the Maccabees building in Detroit when he was on WXYZ-TV in Detroit. What a treat!!!

Beautiful!!! SOUPY was from Huntington, WV!!!

" Mumbles " the great jazz trumpet player and vocalist Clark Terry...

The rock n' roll tune at the end of this clip is called "Boom Boom" and it is performed by a group called "The Animals".

so this is how funny pages started?

I credit Soupy, Sandy Becker, Rocky & Bullwinkle and friends plus Mad Magazine for turning me into the nutcase that I’ve been for the last 60 plus years! 😆

I WASN'T EXPECTING THE TABLE TO COLLAPSE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I want to hear him sing when lion sleeps tonight

Who's version of Boom Boom Boom Boom are they playing?

I lived for this show, afternoons on WNEW-TV, Channel 5, in the New York metro area. Had the pleasure of meeting him years later when he was filling on one of the WABC-TV morning shows prior to Regis coming to town. Told him how I really loved his show, and he was very gracious.

My half brother was a big fan of soupy sales. He love watching his show when he was a kid he use to do the voice of I think it was black thing like me being from the suburbs between Detroit and Ann Arbor Mr sales is from Detroit he started there soupy you rock rip

Great - many thanks for uploading! Watched Soupy EVERY weekday after school over WNEW ( I think). Soupy and Mr. Chuck McCann are favorites. It’s hard to distinguish between regression and personal growth, but with these guys I don’t care.

When I was in grade school, Soupy was my favorite. He also had a late nite show. Soupy did his show from the Maccabees Bldg which is across the street from the Detroit Public Library and Wayne State Univ. Sometimes he did his show on the sidewalk and would talk to people walking past. For a time, Soupy was pretty close with Frank Sinatra. I remember one show where Frank took a pie in the face. There was one show where the walls on the studio set were being pushed in. I found out later that several of the kids in my class were invited on set and they did that. One evening, my parents and I watched a show that Soupy did in the Grosse Pointe High Gym for free. Soupy was a naturally funny guy in a nice way.

Pookie belts out the Animals cover version of the classic John Lee Hooker song in the second half of the video.

Soupy ruled the 5 o'clock hour. I think I watched almost every episode. He once showed a drawing of him and the cast on the set that J

I love "Pookie's"Lip sync to Clark Terry's"Mumbles" and Soupy's facial reactions to the tune..(LOL!)..My God..I can't stop(LOL!).

The loose, hip atmosphere, including the sounds of the set crew breaking up, was something no show had, save for one. I have a feeling that Steve Allen was an influence on the comedic genius that was Soupy Sales; how could they not have known each other with the similar wild, spontaneous humor they generated?

Love that Animals version of Boom Boom!

So glad someone downloaded this. I loved Soupy Sales as a Child, and Pookie was the funniest and my favorite puppet.

Also had an adult version at 11 o'clock

Wasn't from Detroit, but left his mark here, he's one of us, love and miss you Soupy!!!

Pookie was jammin' to "Mumbles" (Oscar Peterson and Clark Terry). Pookie's take on "Boom-Boom" (the version by Eric Burdon and The Animals) knocked me out! Soupy and crew knew what clicked!
