Trivia

During the show Soupy would often answer knocks at the door. He would then talk to various characters not visible to the camera. One time he opened the door and, as a joke, the crew had sneaked in an exotic dancer who proceeded to disrobe to "stripper" music. Soupy was practically speechless and could not say anything on the air. Although it was obviously not shown on the air at the time, a camera backstage was taping it, and several years later it was shown (appropriate parts blacked out, of course) on TV. The entire "routine", with nothing blacked out, is available on a variety of "blooper" collection tapes.

Great kids show and should be seen again

Soupy Sales was a great comedian loved by the kids adults and even Big time actors and entertainers. He showed a love for children with the Big Kiss he gave to all the kids. He appealed to the smaller children with the puppets. Overall a Great show and I am glad that there are videos for Our kids to see. I tell my youngest daughter about White Fang and since she was 10 to now 16 she still asks me to imitate the white hand known as Fang and she still gets a kick out it, as I know I did when I was little. And who could forget the Big smile from Pookie. These are the great memories I have and will still have of the show along with many other persons my age. He should see this letter and realize that he was really appreciated and loved by people like me and now my daughter.
