 "Soap": A Blast From The Past August 30, 2008
"Soap", a parody of all soap operas, from the 1980's, is a gentle and
irreverant satire. It's also fun to look back and see how Billy Crystal
began his career. The characters are funny and, in the case of Jessica,
played by Katherine Helmond, sweet and pure at heart. You watch "Soap",
and really miss what a good sitcom was made of: satire and one-liners
and a dash of heart. "Cheers" is similar, but with a little more pungent
one-liners.
 Oh, The Memories This Show Brings Back August 4, 2008
To me, TV shows, movies and music capture and reflect the times they were made and what I was doing back then. Even though I was in my early teens when "Soap" was airing in Prime Time on ABC, there were fond memories of those times. It was nice to see every episode that was aired, but what was missing from this set was season recaps that were aired at the beginning of each new season, especially the one where Jessica dies and goes up to the pearly gates and encounters Bea Arthur's character. This along with the way the DVD set was packaged takes away from this experience. It came in single box with a spindle where every Disc was stacked on top of each other instead of a jacket with each Disc in their own place or pocket. It would have been nice to add more material behind the scenes as well as some of the background material behind the opposition to this TV show that wound up on shows like "20/20".
Growing up in Denver during the first two seasons of "Soap", much of the first season wound up being broadcast late at night after Prime Time for fear of the opposition to the storyline surrounding Jody Dallas. This show, like the "Medicine & Martini's Collection" of "MASH" should be in anybody's TV DVD collection and treated like old friends.
 Laughs & Laughs August 4, 2008
One of my all time favorite comedy sitcoms. So happy to have it available to watch over and over.
The complete series July 17, 2008
This is seriously one of the funniest comedy series of all time. It takes the rise out of all the soap opera's of the time, and many of the modern days ones too. I was never a soap opera fan, but I loved the way this programme ridiculed the behaviour of the characters in them. If you've got a better (or worse) half thats addicted to soap opera's, you could go further wrong than to introduce them to the ups and downs, highs and lows, trials and tribulations of the Tates and the Campbells. I'm sure that even if they weren't that keen, you'd be more than happy to indulge in these wonderful episodes.
Confused? You won't be if you buy the DVD's.
Soap is great July 14, 2008
It is hard to go back 30 years and find the same things funny, but I had never watched Soap when it was on. It is still funny, in a slap stick kind of way. And what they got away with then. It was a simplier time.
