Soap Audience Reviews

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Syl Katherine Helmond and Cathryn Damon played sisters, Jessica Tate, and Mary Campbell, who lived in suburban Connecticut with their husbands, Chester Tate, and Mr. Campbell. Their families interact with each other. The sitcom was groundbreaking for having a regular gay character, Jodie Dallas (played by Billy Crystal) but it also showed infidelity. Jessica has three children and a butler, Benson Dubois (Robert Guilliame who would have his own sitcom series). Mary has two sons including Jodie and a son, Danny, in the mob. The husbands have as many secrets too. Robert Mandan's Chester Tate is an unfaithful jerk. Richard Mulligan's Mr. Campbell is responsible for Mary's first husband's death. The cast is first rate and so is the writing for the series. Despite a large cast, the series balances the company like an ensemble piece. I can't believe that I never got into it or the series ending after only four seasons. If you haven't seen this series, you have to see it to believe it.
tfclougher Minister: What's the problem? Chester: There's no problem. She thinks it's a problem, but it's just a little thing. Minister: What do you think the problem is Mrs. Tate. Mrs.Tate: He goes through women like an elephant goes through peanuts. He cheated before the wedding. He cheated during the wedding with the bridesmaids. He cheated after the wedding.. He cheated with the nurses in the hospital when I gave birth. He cheated on our honeymoon. He cheated with the steno pool. He cheated with the other lawyers. This was the most outstanding writing I ever heard. Robert Mandan looked like such a weaselly fool and Katherine Helmond was just cool and fed up and cynical.
peter-komander Have always loved and quoted Soap and the galaxy of stars it spawned.And guess what. Two day ago I walked into a Salvation army shop and found a 3 DVD set containing the first 25 episodes AND another DVD set (2) - the first 22 episodes of Cheers (Dianne Chambers & Coach). 1140 minutes of sheer joy and delight!!!Soap, Cheers and MASH are the only US series I have time for - showing my age perhaps.Eat your hearts out folks, you won't see me for days!Ah the constant battles between the Dummy and Danny!!PK
andy3472 For me Soap has always been my favourite TV comedy series. The characters were just fantastic - brilliantly played by all especially Burt and Jessica.Even the many small supporting characters stood out. The dopey Chief of Police Tinkler, the equally dopey Mrs David and the positively nutty Detective Donahue.My favourite story lines included Jessica's murder trial, Burt's alien abduction and the Demonic possession of Corinne's baby.Susan Harris wrote her characters extremely well with some great dialogue and exaggerated the soap opera clichés to the hilt. The show will always be a fondly remembered classic that, unlike some shows, doesn't fade or become less funny over time.
