Here's three rare episodes of THE CHUCK MCCANN SHOW (1965 WNEW) with Chuck in all his glory and then a reel of out-takes with Soupy Sales and all his gang from THE NEW SOUPY SALES SHOW (1979) with profanity and everything! However, the quality is not good, the sound on the McCann shows is hissy and the visuals just fair and the Soupy material is hilarious but fair to poor in quality.
