Mediaman's Reviews > Soupy Sez!: My Zany Life and Times

Soupy Sales loves to brag about himself--and this book is two-thirds him telling you how great he is, mixed with one-third of other people writing about him. Ironic that a book called Soupy Sez really has so much written by others and very little of him saying much about anything.

What's most surprising is how little he did nationally in terms of career. It's almost all local radio/TV or syndication. He overstates most of his successes and manages to claim he set records in just about everything he did, comparing himself to the Beatles at one point. It gets ridiculous hearing him try to claim he was the #1 show but then gets cancelled after 12 weeks for no reason. It just doesn't add up.

There are a few fun facts but he avoid his private life, thinks he did a good job as a dad even though his kids write that they didn't know him due to his emphasis on his career, and the long sections on local radio are dull for anyone who didn't live in that city. Skip it.
