Soupy Sales correction

The page shows Soupy in only two episodes of the Soupy Sales Show from 1953 to 1965, but he was in all of them! He was the host, after all. The "click to select a set of episodes" doesn't seem to work and my efforts at correction were all rejected.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0197178/ You're referring to "The Soupy Sales Show," aka "Lunch with Soupy Sales," which ran from 1953 to 1966—first from Detroit, then Los Angeles, then New York. Soupy Sales is listed in only two episodes because IMDb has only two episodes listed. Episode-specific information about this series is hard to come by, but a contributor interested in adding more information will find that while most episodes are probably lost to time, there are a number still in circulation on DVD and streaming services, such as YouTube.

Aha. Thanks for the clarification! But it really should be indicated somehow that he was always there-- though I suppose most people would be aware of that anyway, It just looks inaccurate, so it rankles. Good point about the ephemeral nature of the show; not everyone bothered with (or had the budget for) preserving early live TV via film/kinescope and securing it in an archive.
