Soupy Sales. Johnny Ginger. Auntie Dee. Sonny Elliot. 
Robin Seymour. Bill Bonds. 
The list of characters who entered our living rooms through 
Detroit television is long and colorful.

This one-hour documentary examines local TV from the 
late 1940s to the 1990s. Highlights include rare footage 
with an amazing vocal performance by 
14-year-old Ursula Walker, who today is a Detroit jazz legend; 
profiles of Soupy Sales, Sonny Elliot, Bill Kennedy 
and other local celebrities; the story behind one of the 
longest-running TV series in America, Detroit’s American Black Journal; recollections from Mitch Ryder and others, and much more. 

"Detroit Remember When: The History of Detroit TV" was produced by Michael Collins, Ed Golick, Bill Kubota and Tim Kiska
