    Soupy Sales was a champion for respecting the intellect of children in a time when they were 'seen and not heard'.

      Now they're heard too damned much. The seen-not-heard era seemed much better for the kids as well as the society as a whole.
      There's a great little paperback novel called Jordy, Bounce, and Lilli, that captures the flavor of the post- WWII era through the lives of two small children and their cat. I know it's available on Amazon. I just finished my copy… loved it.

    This was around the time Soupy told the kids in his TV audience to "take those green pieces of paper out of daddy's wallet and send them to me (Sales)". They did, and it made headline news, but Soupy got into some hot water for doing it and had to apologize.

      The incident in question occurred about four months before this episode of WML, on New Year's Day 1965. Soupy was miffed about being required to work on the holiday (presumably by either the flagship station on his show, WNEW-TV Channel 5 in NYC, or by Screen Gems who syndicated the show across the U.S.). But he chose an unfortunate and inappropriate way to protest. He told his young viewers to tip toe into the bedrooms of their parents who were still sleeping, take their "funny green pieces of paper with pictures of U.S. Presidents" and mail them to him.
      I've read that he claimed that he expected the children would know he was joking. While he also said that much of what he received was Monopoly money and other forms of play money, many children did not know he was joking and they sent him U.S. currency. What;s worse, many of the envelopes came without a return address or anything inside that would identify the location of the sender. They returned whatever money they could and told the rest that they would donate it to charity. But many parents still protested and Soupy was suspended for two weeks.
      I'm guessing that his appearance on WML was a way for Soupy to rehabilitate his image. It led to much more than that. Funny how life works out sometimes.
      Also interesting that none of the panelists made a wisecrack that alluded to this incident. Since they couldn't be tipped off ahead of time, it speaks to the graciousness of the panel members.

    From 1960 to 1975, Gloria was host of the NBC show "Exercise with Gloria and Her Six Daughters." She helped produce an instructional exercise album, published a related exercise booklet and appeared on several talk shows, including "Today with Inga," and "The Mike Douglas Show." She received the Woman of the Year award from the Atlantic Models' Guild in 1962. She died of lung cancer in 1995 at age 71.

    Unfortunately, and I found this out on Google, Gloria passed away back in September of '95. Her first husband, the father of her daughters, passed away back in '78. She remarried back in '89. Two of her daughters, Donna and Gail, also passed away as well. One died in 2006. The other one died in 2010. That answered my question on whatever happened to her.

      I also don't recall ever slapping your hand for discussing politics, but if you brought up politics, then, yes, I'm sure I asked you to stop. As I do with everyone, every time. Without exception. You appear to be taking it personally, and while I feel sorry for you if that's the case, it's not my problem.

    As for "Ski Party" (which would be released in the U.S. on Thursday, 30 June 1965):
    The other cast principals besides Robert Q. Lewis were Frankie Avalon (without Annette Funicello (she does in an uncredited cameo role, just as Frankie had the year before in "Pajama Party," in which her co-star was Tommy Kirk)), Dwayne Hickman (after "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" and "Cat Ballou"), Deborah Walley (after "Gidget Goes Hawaiian" and "The Young Lovers" and before "Spinout" and "The Mothers-In-Law"), and Yvonne Craig (after the Ballets Russes and "Kissin' Cousins" and before "Batman"), Bobbie Shaw Chance, and The Hondells. Alan Rafkin directed; the script was written by Robert Kaufman; the musical score was by Guy Hemric and Jerry Steiner.
    Those who have commented that "Ski Party" was a tired entry into a past-its-prime genre are quite correct; for instance, "Ski Party" was the only one of A-I's beach-party films for which Les Baxter didn't write the musical score. But American-International Pictures continued to try to mine gold from dross for a while longer, with such films as "How To Stuff A Wild Bikini," "Sergeant Dead Head," "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine," "The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini," and even "It's A Bikini World" (which was filmed in 1965, but was not released until April of 1967; it starred Tommy Kirk, Deborah Walley, Bobby Pickett, Suzie Kaye, Jack Bernardi, and William O'Connell, and it was the second movie directed by Stephanie Rothman (who would score a hit in 1970 with her third directorial effort on the big screen, "The Student Nurses")).
    "Fireball 500" (1966) and "Thunder Alley" (1967) are basically beach-party movies applied to the world of auto racing, but they're a bit darker that the beach-party movies before them.

    In the syndicated version of WML?, Soupy was one of two regular panelists (Arlene was the other), and proved to be remarkably astute at playing the game, usually getting the correct guess after the first round or two of play.

  • @davidsanderson5918

    When David Bowie recorded music with Soupy's sons, their father would call the studio. His phone calls were put through the studio monitors and they would fall about laughing. Dare I say, Soupy's humour was rather more RIPE than evidenced here. If you want to find out how ripe....check out an example of his 'jokes' in the biography 'Starman' on David Bowie by Paul Trynka, page 343. If you thought Bernard Manning was dodgy...!!

      Apparently, Soupy gave the 'Young Rascals' their name in '65 when they were just beginning their careers as Soupy's back-up band during a tour of college campuses. This parallels Arizona legends 'Wallace and Ladmo', two older guys doing a kids show who took on rock bands as part of their act in the 1960s, and even created one that appeared on the Steve Allen Show. Wallace and Ladmo did their show for 35 years. .

      I always enjoyed Soupy Sales on What’s My Line? (1968 - 75). He was always eccentric and somewhat louche, sometimes inappropriately so, but tended to evoke a chuckle. I remember one contestant managed a nudist camp, and after the reveal, Soupy jumped up and asked if they were going to show videos. 🤦‍♂️😂 But I understand not everyone would appreciate his brand of humour.

    The panelists looked genuine happy when seeing Soupy Sales as the MG. There must have been several occasions when one or two of the panelists got an unpleasant surprise when realizing who the MG was. I mean, someone he/she really couldn't stand, or despised, And they maybe had asked fawning questions or praised the MG's career. Then taking of their blindfolds and seeing the person who they least of all would want to meet and greet...

    Well, it's a nice thing to say, and it's mostly true, but yes and no. The ladies, both mom and daughters, ARE all beautiful - but previous contestants did include the June Taylor Dancers, the DeMarco Sisters, and the McGuire Sisters, so there really had been or was as much or more beauty in a contestant group several times in times past. Now, if one is talking only about "ordinary Joe/ordinary Jane" groups of contestants (but not Mystery Guests), then he's fully right.
