After all the years that have passed Soap is still one of the best comedies ever written. I recall my Dad watching this. I was not allowed because I was too young! The main Actors of Katherine Helmond and Richard Mulligan made this a hilarious watch! I am now able to watch it on a retro TV channel and I am addicted to this crazy Satire! Definitley worth a watch.

The comment (or summary) of television's funniest sitcom, "Soap", is pretty good, but incorrect in one issue. The writer did a thorough job and even though he/she was not old enough to watch it when it was originally aired, he/she did a great job. Soap was aired later at night and it was the one show back then that my parents and I actually watched together. It was one of the few shows that ever made my dad laugh out loud. I felt compelled to make a note, however, with regard to the summary provided on the Soap IMDb page. It was not Jodie's baby that was possessed. It was Corine and Tim's baby. It was possessed because Tim had given up the priesthood to marry Corinne and his mother put a curse on them. It was then Jessica who was able to exorcise that demon.

Minister: What's the problem? Chester: There's no problem. She thinks it's a problem, but it's just a little thing. Minister: What do you think the problem is Mrs. Tate. Mrs.Tate: He goes through women like an elephant goes through peanuts. He cheated before the wedding. He cheated during the wedding with the bridesmaids. He cheated after the wedding.. He cheated with the nurses in the hospital when I gave birth. He cheated on our honeymoon. He cheated with the steno pool. He cheated with the other lawyers. This was the most outstanding writing I ever heard. Robert Mandan looked like such a weaselly fool and Katherine Helmond was just cool and fed up and cynical.

Have always loved and quoted Soap and the galaxy of stars it spawned.And guess what. Two day ago I walked into a Salvation army shop and found a 3 DVD set containing the first 25 episodes AND another DVD set (2) - the first 22 episodes of Cheers (Dianne Chambers & Coach). 1140 minutes of sheer joy and delight!!!Soap, Cheers and MASH are the only US series I have time for - showing my age perhaps.Eat your hearts out folks, you won't see me for days!Ah the constant battles between the Dummy and Danny!!PK
