The series SOAP from the late 70's-early 80s
When I was in my mid to late teens I began watching the TV series SOAP on ABC channel 7 from New York. It was ground-breaking, funny as all hell and a show I will never forget.
I just binged watch the first season of 25 episodes from a free website I use for this stuff and haven't laughed out like this in a long time. The jokes and comedy are still funny 40 years later. When you see the cast, it's amazing how nearly everyone on the show became a star over the years. Just awesome in every way. Some of you "youngsters" should check it out along with shows like Good Times, Sanford and Son and All in the Family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_(TV_series) |

The Reverend Jim Ignotowski for the win, Alex! And Danny DeVito at his best!

Yep, it has been how many years and I could still hear it in there.

I was thinking about SOAP the other day. One of the greatest comedies ever.
Reruns are on Antenna TV. It would never fly today.

And the episode where Jim's father passed was one of the saddest in sitcom history! Right up there with the final Mash.

And this scene probably wasn't any worse than the prior scene, where Henry says goodbye to Radar before he boards the chopper. That episode absolutely ruined me the first time I saw it when I was a kid. M*A*S*H jumped the shark before Happy Days did. It declined steadily after Rogers and Stevenson left. The final.... several seasons were tired, lame, bloated, preachy, and all but unwatchable. The last episode was most successful as a long overdue mercy killing.
