More Best Of Soupy Sales - Rhino VHS

Not sure if there's much different shows or extras on these compared to more current DVD releases and sets? Two episodes are on this tape, an early one and one from the mid 70's reboot. For the true fans of the Soupster, here's more cream in your eye!
B&W Early Episode (0:00)
Color 70's Episode (26:33)

I loved the Soupy Sales show when I was a kid. Never missed one.

The "new words" skit was very reminiscent of Carson''s"carnak"...This video is hysterical. A terrific compilation that exhibits the variety of this show!!

I can't stand these times. But, drifting back to Soupy and what was then, I am made happy again.....................

Soupy was GREAT FUN!!!

Do any of you remember...his (playfully) suggesting you take some of that silly green paper from your Dad's wallet and forwarding it to HIM?

Tab Hunter had served not in the Navy, but the Coast Guard, which he joined when he was only 15, by lying about his age. After he'd served for a while, his true age was discovered, and he was discharged. In his teens, he was a competitive singles and pairs figure skater.

49:50 - Mork and MIndy Sales? Is this the inspiration for the title of the Robin Williams/Pam Dawber sitcom?

I think it's 'Mort & Mindy' he says, but very astute how you caught that. You could be right! :)

I'm think The New Soupy Sales Show ran from '78-'79. Mork & Mindy premiered in '78, and was an instant success. My guess is that Soupy taped his show after M&M was already on the air, and he was riffing on the name.

Robin Williams was a Comic just looking for a show to happen to him. Soupy did not lead to Mork and Mindy. I am a big SoupySales fan too.

Opening title sequence (the theater marquee in NY)...that's a 1959 Buick parked in the lower right corner...the most bizarre, most ignored car of the late '50's "big fin" craze. Oh, yeah....Soupy was great. Too bad that all the b&w stuff (in NY) featured actor Frank Nastasi in the "supporting" roles; he as but a pale imitator of the great Clyde Adler, seen as White Fang, Black Tooth, Pookie, etc in the COLOR shows (1978) when Soupy moved back to L.A. Clyde also appears in this episode as "Mr. Jones" (26:40) and the father (42:50), as well as the fireman at the door in the skit with the fire hydrant; he rushes around the set, puts on his White Fang furry arms, and switches voices. The fireman's arm we see at the door during Soupy's tussle with White Fang is the OTHER guy (the one who's missing a finger on his left hand). These guys were sharp, versatile, professional performers. LR
