Customer Reviews of Absolutely Best of Soupy Sales Show
Corrections To The Other Reviews Just a couple corrections of errors in the other reviews. The shots of the naked woman were NEVER broadcast anywhere. As a practical joke on Soupy, the crew hooked an isolated camera up to a closed-circuit monitor BEHIND the set. Only Soupy could see it when he opened the door at the rear of the set and looked left. The crew then had a naked girl stand entirely out of view of the broadcast cameras behind the set. At the scripted moment she reached out and knocked on the door. When Soupy opened it, he got the shock of his life --as he'd been expecting a fully-dressed male actor. Horrified, Soupy could only assume that what he saw over the backstage monitor was going out over the air -- but it wasn't and never did. The series NEVER included any backstage shots. The crew got a good laugh at Sales' expense, though. And as for the urban legends of Soupy shooting the finger or telling dirty gags on his show, those things simply never did happen. Soupy was far too smart to destroy his career that way! The "green pieces of paper" story, though, IS true. Sales had to think of something to fill a leftover minute on one episode and just improvised a gag routine so outlandish he figured no one could ever take seriously. (The idea was to invite kids to send in green papers with pictures of presidents on them that they might find aound the house -- and if they did, Soupy would send them a postcard from Puerto Rico.) Incredibly, a few kids did send in cash-- although most of it was play money. (Soupy gave the real cash to charity.) Anyway, the "scandal" did cause Metromedia to suspend Soupy from his own show for a few days. The fans were outraged -- and when Soupy did return, his ratings went higher than ever. The real Soupy vs. Metromedia tragedy came later. Sales and the firm each owned a 50% stake in the series videotapes, which were syndicated for a while and then stored in the Metromedia vaults. Several years later, after all rights reverted back to Sales, Soupy came by to pick up his tapes. To his horror he discovered that Metromedia, ever eager to recycle tape, had erased every single one of them. All that's left of Soupy's beloved New York based '60s series are a few odd kines Metromedia did not get their paws on. But, as Soupy told me himself, all the original Metromedia videotapes ARE gone. The existing color episodes were all shot a decade later (in the '70s) at Gold West Broadcasters in L.A. The real classics, though, were the B&W Metromedia programs -- which live on only in memory (except for that handful of kine copies of a few isolated bits).
Absolutely the Worst of the Soupy Sales Show!
The Best of the Soupy Sales Show and More Best of the Soupy Sales Show are much funnier than this one. Save your money.
Absolutely Superbly Soupy!!Where's his movie!!
The video definitely shows Soupy at his best....,so hopefully his hilarious,reknowned 1966 slapstick comedy movie "Birds Do It"co-starring Tab Hunter and Arthur O'Connell should in the near future be released on dvd/vhs in the near future,it should be a smashing hit and a cult classic,so spread the word,it's been very,very long overdue!!Video distributors both large and small including Rhino should agreesively inquire about releasing this overlooked gem of a movie on vhs/dvd including the film trailer!!
