Soap, which was up for 17 Emmys, is a cult favourite among the best sitcoms. The series is set in suburban Connecticut and follows the lives of two sisters: Jessica Tate (Katherine Helmond), a rich but spoiled elitist, and Mary Campbell (Cathryn Damon), a housewife in a more traditional working class nuclear family. But no matter how well-off they are, neither woman can get away from the drama and scandal in their typical soap opera families. Richard Mulligan, Billy Crystal, and Robert Guillaume are just a few of the big names in the show's cast. In fact, Guillaume created the successful sitcom Benson, which was a spin-off of the soap opera...
The Soap (Season 3) DVD has a lot of funny episodes, like the one where Burt wakes up in the hull of a spaceship in the first episode of the season. Eunice asks Dutch to make a deal with the feds, and Benson sets up a posse to save Billy from the Sunnies while an alien copy of Burt takes his place. Other important episodes from Season 3 include Episode 52, in which the real Burt and his alien clone finally face each other, and Episode 69, in which Jessica dies with a guilty Chester at her bedside while Jodie gives a passionate courtroom defence of his right to be an openly gay single parent...
