From the WXYZ archives: Soupy Sales 25th anniversary

[@michekids]

Loved this guy as a kid. The best

[@rty1955]

The show im detroit was never taped. Taping began @ WNEW in NYC after the New Years Day episode. I was one of the recording engineers

[@Nushmut95]

Could you keep a straight face during recording?

[@AlyxCoe]

How cool!

[@janicesullivan6568]

[@msfarm2]

[@Meoooweww]

Great show.. innocent days.

[@CaseyBoles-bc2yk]

Soupy knew how to kick it loved him

[@jamesgordonpatterson1753]

I was wild about Soupy Sales... had to have exactly what he was eating. Sad sad day when he moved to New York.

[@petergoldstein1075]

Omg what a blast from the past. Philo ketch and the mask and onions oregano, the song "because I'm maaaaaaad"

[@patriciahowse5436]

THESE WERE THE BEGINNING OF KIDDY DAYS,

[@terryhaines8351]

Wow, that lion really can swing!

[@patriciahowse5436]

GOOD OL' MEMORIES

[@johnguber8099]

Read “Shell Shocked” an autobiography by Howard Kaylan front man for the Turtles and later for Zappa‘s Morher’s where Kaylan talks about living in the same apartment building as Soupy and how Soupy had lots of the best recreational drugs! Can’t say I was surprised. I think he and the staff were stoned the whole time!

[@garnerjoyce606]

Ty for strange episodes though very funny!

[@lgr2013]

I DO REMEMBER -

[@garnerjoyce606]

I never thought of sprinkling Jello on ice cream. Sounds really gross, lol.

[@kevinbutler1955NYC]

On this tv special"Pookie The Lion"lip syncs to Clark Terry's "Mumbles".

[@tn2mich]

Tjand you! I was wondering what the song was!

[@kevinbutler1955NYC]

Thanks for your kind response to my post..TV2Mich.

[@Nitebeat]

Actually, it was Oscar Petersen’s version of Mumbles which was used on Soupy’s show! 👍

[@lyndapierson6338]

i want pookie and soupy back! not in our lifetime

[@kevinbutler1955NYC]

No..Sadly Lynda Pierson..Soupy and his puppeteers and comedy assistants:Clyde Adler and Frank Nastasi are no longer with us.

[@RSEFX]

@@kevinbutler1955NYC I count myself very fortunate for having grown up in Detroit watching the very first shows with Soupy, which included his daily "Lunch with" and later "Breakfast with" show, PLUS his nightly "SOUPY'S ON" show, which also featured Clyde Adler doing on-screen skits with him (especially skits aboard the Mississippi steamboat the SS Kielbasa, dealing with gambling, drinking, "singing" and other hi-jinx.) )Later moved to Los Angeles and continued to watch him in The New Soupy Sales Show as an adult. Always felt like a kid again watching hi shows. Great charming, utterly silly fun.

The audio is terrible. Try again please.

[@dennis3178]

If this was considered funny, people were pretty stupid back then.

[@CHess-zq2nw]

Uhh, it was a kid's show.

[@dennis3178]

@@CHess-zq2nw Then the kids were stupid.

[@RonGerstein-tf5tp]
