SOUPY SALES SHOW, THE {FINAL TELECAST} (TV)
Summary
The final episode in this freewheeling series of children's programs starring comedian Soupy Sales. Slapstick sketches and sight gags dominate this show, which is structured around conversations betn Sales and an assemblage of incoherent puppets. Highlights include the following: a dancing chicken performs the "Soupy Shuffle"; Sales engages in a water fight with a mailman; Sales presents a segment of "Soupy Sez"; Sales is duped by a novelty salesman; guest star Troy Donahue gets hit by a pie; Sales plugs his new album; Pookie the Lion hurtles a pie at Woody Woodpecker, who appears in an animated sequence; and Sales retells the fairy tale of "Snow White" while Pookie acts out all the parts. Includes promos.
