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.
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.
Thanx for bringing back great memories.Soupy,a kids favorite clown,Diver Dan and Mr. Bones,Geeba Geeba,etc with Sandy,The Fred Scott show (what a great voice,he did all the station breaks on wnew)and who could forget playing "Simon Says" with Sonny Fox on "Wonderama"!GREAT CREATIVE TALENTS!Great stuff for a kid! Todays programmers should take a lesson from them! Before they're all gone!

Loved all three guys. Role models and almost heros. Amazing memories. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting. Haven't seen Sandy Becker since I was on Wonderama. Very cool.
These gentlemen are three of my TV Heroes from the 60's!
Neat interview!

These shows were so fun & crazy. Live tv was very different from what we have today. Growing up in the 50's it was a great time to be a kid.

This was 1984, when channel 5 had their "40 Years of Fine Tuning" Campaign. Classic stuff all around!
Love it. Does anyone know of any clips of Sandy as Norton Nork?
R.I.P. Uncle Fred Scott (1920 - 2008)
RIP Uncle Fred Scott who just passed last week.
That Soupy clip looked like one of the few to survive on videotape rather than kinescope. Quite good, though.
I never see Little Miss Loverly the chicken from Soupy Sales or Chuck McCann
What year is this interview from?
