Week of Oct. 23: Farewell To Vic Mizzy and Soupy Sales

Vic Mizzy, who died earlier this week, had a prolific movie scoring career, but is best known for two classic television show themes: "Green Acres" and "The Addams Family."

Both shows are available on DVD.

Here's a link to the obituary of Mizzy in the Los Angeles Times:

Earlier today came word of the death of Soupy Sales, an almost constant television presence from the 1960s through the 1980s. He was best known for his children's variety show, but was also a staple on adult variety shows, game shows and more.

Rest in peace, gentlemen......

Soupy Sales practically invented the immortal pie in the face gag -- they don't make em like that anymore...
