Love this show (I'm old) it was so groundbreaking for its time and may seem a bit tame now considering how crazy the soaps it is parodying actually became.

2018-11-08 19:31:17 +0000 UTCi think as a very young child i saw some of his show or it could have been Benson, the characters seem very familiar

The spinoff, Benson, was a favorite of mine. Two of the regular cast from that show wound up years later on the 90's Star Trek series where I appreciated their performances even more.

2018-10-10 00:52:56 +0000 UTC1) The show was interesting as often in these early episodes, Billy Crystal is forced to play stereotypical gay, so the audience ‘got’ that’s what he was, as in the quick scene with Benson, and it comes off flat. But in the scene with his mom in the bedroom, his acting was much better, and he got to do that more and more as the show progressed. 2) My favorite character in the show is introduced soon (I think), Bert’s other son from his first marriage. I won’t spoil the surprise if you decide to watch further.

2018-10-09 20:48:20 +0000 UTCI loved Soap! It really was a boundary breaking show. Jodie (Billie Crystal - a wonderful comedian) was one of the first openly gay characters on network TV. You definitely have to put yourself into the right mindset to enjoy it, it's so silly and deliberately campy, but tackles some really important issues as well. My favorite character was always Benson. He ultimately got a spinoff (called Benson) and had a long run as that character. Thank you for checking it out. I hope you enjoyed it.

2018-10-09 16:16:53 +0000 UTCI had a high school crush on Diana Canova, but otherwise Soap was too OTT for me but that style of comedy was probably the only way it could have made it on US television at the time. I remember it being considered very radical.

2018-10-09 15:05:45 +0000 UTCI think you got Billy Crystal and Rob Schneider mixed up.

2018-10-09 12:10:04 +0000 UTCI don't know if regular soap operas bring awareness to social issues - other than, of course, keep Timmy away from the bloody well. :)

2018-10-09 12:04:37 +0000 UTCBenson got a spin-off series that lasted longer than Soap - standard sit-com faire, with a funny snarky lead. Billy Crystal is Jodie. He used to co-host charity events with Robin Williams. So very glad you weren't bored. Yes, another US TV show where people have houses much nicer than possible. And the laugh track - geez... I'd like to see the old sitcoms remastered without a laugh track. "Previously" and "In the next episode" take up a few minutes, making the episodes even shorter, But I like those parts. "Find out next time", but we don't find out because there's 4 or 5 story threads and about 17 minutes of story content. Not sure if Grandpa was the 1st TV character with crippling PTSD. The horrors of war made him insane. Ha! It's funny??? Well, at least they're saying PTSD exists, at a time when many 'Nam vets were struggling. And Grandpa show how 1977 is totally not racist compared to WWII... Its a quirky, goofy show.

2018-10-09 11:57:14 +0000 UTCHard to know after 40 years. Sometimes comedy has a serious side. But in 2018, can we tell the difference between 1970s humor that was subversive, and 1970s humor that was just wacky?

2018-10-09 11:09:38 +0000 UTC...but by being ridiculous, did it actually create more...awareness(?)...understanding(?)...of actual issues(?); than any soap ever?

2018-10-09 10:56:21 +0000 UTCYoung BILLY CRYSTAL!!! Perhaps the ultimate spoof on all soap opera's. A show that dragged out every 'Trope' and made fun of it! (at a time when tropes where the hot topic of the PC). Plus there was even a spin off...'Benson"
