Billy Crystal got his start as one of the first gay characters to appear on prime-time television in this once controversial series. As TV entertainment, SOAP was ahead of its time both creatively--functioning as a parody of the soap opera within the trappings of a prime-time sitcom--and topically--dealing with such issues as interracial marriage, gay parenting, marital infidelity, and impotence. Robert Urich, Richard Mulligan, Katherine Helmond (WHO'S THE BOSS), Robert Guillaume (SPORTS NIGHT), and a host of others round out the impressive ensemble cast of all four seasons and 85 episodes of this must-own for any enthusiast of progressive television. Fans that can't get enough of Guillaume's Benson on this series may be interested to know the character was spun-off into its own show, titled BENSON.

SOAP
i was a big fan of SOAP back in the seventies. imagine my suprise when i saw it on OVERSTOCK. i immediately ordered it and received it within a few days.Soap was a shocking show when it was on TV, but i watched it every week. now i watch one dvd in a weeks time. i had forgotten just how funny that show was, and i mean laugh-out-loud funny.collectors of older tv shows,even if you don't like sitcoms, should add this irreverant series to your collection. thank you OVERSTOCK for aways having great items and great prices!

Great deal
I was a big fan of this show "back in the day". It was fun to sit down with my wife and watch it all over again. The packaging is a bit lacking - the disks are all stacked on a single spindle in a flimsy plastic carrier - but considering the cost of the set, they had to cut a few corners somewhere. Picture and audio quality are both very good. Overall, a 5 star purchase.

Very good purchase
The purchase was well worth the money. The packaging was fine; adequate. I did not mind the DVDs stacked on a spindle rather then in individual sleeves or covers. For $$$ it was well worth it to get all four seasons of SOAP. We are totally happy with the purchase and are enjoying watching the show we liked in the 70's I would recommend this to everyone.

"Soap"
I can't believe I found this! It was my dad's favorite sitcom even though it was a little racy for it's time. The price was right, it shipped on time and it made my dad's Christmas. Thanks, Overstock!!!
