Soap (TV series)

Soap is an American comedy series, which wholly in accordance with the model of a soap opera, but there is a parody on at the same time. Soap was originally from 1977 to 1981 and was also broadcast by ABC on Dutch television.

Soap was controversial in its time, which among other things reflected in the fact that it was one of the first series in which a homosexual leading role for came. This role, which as Jodie Dallas, was played by Billy Crystal, who broke through as an actor.

The story took place around the life of two sisters. Each episode began with the Narrator: "This is the story of two sisters: Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell". Jessica and her family were among the fortunate and had a butler, Benson (Robert Guillaume). That left Soap in 1979 to go to a starring role in the spin-off Benson .

The series is full of silly incidents and affaires. Relationships with Congress members and priests, connections with the mafia, all kinds of murder, adultery situations, a ventriloquist and the inclusion of Burt Campbell in an establishment. ==Division Of Roles[ Edit] == The Tates
