I would think 1986 since that was when News Corp finally bought the Metromedia stations.

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.

I watched Soupy on Channel 7 WXYZ Detroit, although I lived sixty miles away on the Canadian side. As a child who was sick quite a bit, Soupy was one bright spot in my day. I remember being 5 years old, it was time for Soupy, and I couldn't get the right channel. My mother was on the phone and I went frantic. She was so ticked off that when she got off the phone, she turned the TV off! No Soupy Sales that day! Worst day of my life!

Any idea when this interview was filmed?

I fondly remember watching "Lunch with Soupy Sales" with my late father where every week or a least sporadically, the tv audience heard a knock at the back door and a celebrity would come in a get hit with a pie in the face. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember Frank Sinatra getting hit.
