Soupy Sales went national when Lunch With Soupy Sales, which had been a regional series, airing six days a week in Detroit, was added to ABC's Saturday lineup in 1955. The format is familiar to anyone who saw his syndicated 1979 series, including skits with puppets White Fang, Black Tooth, and Pookie, but here, there's also some footage of silent films, such as a Buster Brown short, included in this 1961 episode.
Director Bill Carruthers had come over from Howdy Doody after that series ended its NBC run. It wasn't long after this episode aired that Lunch was cancelled.
No rating. Just a public service.
