Soupy Watch

Tomorrow evening, WLIW (a PBS station in New York) is premiering a special called Soupy Sales: The Whole Gang is Here, a tribute to everyone's favorite pie recipient. I gather this is an hour-long version of this DVD that came out several years ago which drew mainly not from Soupy's classic kids' shows of the fifties and sixties but from his less-well-remembered 1978-1979 series. I assume the special will eventually turn up on PBS stations around the country and it's probably worth a peek.
