This was great fun to watch. In 1965 and 66 I was part of the "gang" that watched Soupy's show live in the studio from WNEW every day during the summer months. He was and still is the greatest person of our time. He was ALWAYS kind and generous to all his fans. He is a wonderful entertainer and human being.
History of the show The show originated in 1953 from the studios of WXYZ-TV in Detroit, Michigan. Beginning in October 1959, it was telecast nationally on the ABC television network. In 1960, Soupy moved to The KABC TV Studios in Los Angeles, California.
Thanks for showing this. My idols growing up and surley great seeing them again. Sandy was one of the funniest guys I knew. Soupy, well worked with him at WNBC and Fred, well he never drew a picture from my five lines I sent in. Thanks again for the great vid
Holy cow. Sandy Becker. How could I forget that name? How many hours did i sit in front of that box. Soupy telling kids to send in dollars. Sonny Fox on Wonderama. Geez they all look good, pretty much the same. I used to find all of it very entertaining.
