Review of Soap

Soap (1977–1981)
10/10
The Best Comedy Series

Warning: Spoilers
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.
