Favoriting October 18, 2015: Who What Where When Why How Oh Sure Joe What's the Big Idea????

Hey folks, silently schilling for the good people of WFMU to keep the fires going here for a few more months. People may remember that back in the 60s childrens show host Soupy Sales was once suspended for asking his young television viewers to send him "little green pieces of paper" taken from their parents' wallets.You don't have to answer to your Mum or Dad! HELP GET ME SUSPENDED!!!! Send them green papers with the nice pictures of Billy McKinley, Ulysses.S. Grant, and Benny Franklin with the BIG numbers on 'em to MY show Zzzzzzero Hour!

@LL When you say one-eyed cat I'm assuming you don't have a cat cyclops terrorizing you and your computer equipment.

i do! not cyclops exactly .. his existing eye is in the right place.
  8:12pm
JakeGould:

@LindaLee: Is the cat a stray that got an eye infection? That’s pretty common.
  8:13pm

not sure what happened, Jake .. he's been with me for a while .. eye turned white .. then ruptured. ergo one eye. he's doing great though .. jumpin around messin things up!

i don't think tv content was monitored as closely as it is now. plus he was just outrageous. another fiend pushing the envelope at a time when a lot of that was happening.

We used to regularly hang at a club in NJ that was called the Latin Casino. In the 50s all the biggies used to play there. It reinvented itself as a disco in the mid 70s and then turned into a New Wave club - saw XTC, Joe Jackson, Pretenders, B52s....

checkerboard dancefloor sounds pretty great too. .. our crowd actually went for 50s style back then .. lots of our cheap thrift store rags were probably that old .. amazing wealth of 50s fashions for pennies on the dollar! thin lapel jackets, skinny ties, mohair sweaters, heavy black sunglasses ..

The Soupy Sales thing has been blown a little bit out of proportion over the years. Kids didn't actually raid their Dad's wallets and send money to WNEW, a very few people sent a buck or two just to be in on the joke. The point was that it was New Year's Day, and he was joking about how some of the parents would still be crashed out after partying all night when his show was on in the early afternoon. There was some controversy when the papers picked up the story and his show was actually suspended for one week as a token gesture, no one took it that seriously. I still remember the cartoons they showed in place of his show that week, and counting the days until he would be back.

Congratulations Zzzzzzzero hour!
and thanks Bill, another one for the ages...

@Linda: ultimately the Soupy thing was an off-the-cuff gag about feeling put-upon for not being given the day off, and it turned into a public relations stunt that increased the show's visibility and ratings. it was a very hip show, Sales was a Jazz fan and worked a lot of hip bee-bop into the show, and a lot of hipster humor aimed at adults. Sinatra was among his fans and surprise celebrity guests, and gave him a comedy record contract on his label. He was a real sweet guy and it came across on his show. I miss him.
