The comment (or summary) of television's funniest sitcom, "Soap", is pretty good, but incorrect in one issue. The writer did a thorough job and even though he/she was not old enough to watch it when it was originally aired, he/she did a great job. Soap was aired later at night and it was the one show back then that my parents and I actually watched together. It was one of the few shows that ever made my dad laugh out loud. I felt compelled to make a note, however, with regard to the summary provided on the Soap IMDb page. It was not Jodie's baby that was possessed. It was Corine and Tim's baby. It was possessed because Tim had given up the priesthood to marry Corinne and his mother put a curse on them. It was then Jessica who was able to exorcise that demon.

Words fail me - do not do justice to the perfection and excellence of this series. I grew up watching soaps like "One Life to Live", "All My Children", "General Hospital" - with a mother and two sisters and ONE TV set, it was impossible to not see these. Anyway, I love sitcoms when they used to actually be funny, and not afraid to film in front of a live audience with adults instead of paid teenage girls who'd sit there and scream on cue when the flavor-of-the-month happened to walk on. This was staged exactly as a play. Having been in stage plays in the past, my eyes are trained to look in the background and see what's moving around there, or whom. Even with the "family portrait" opening titles, I go back and check them out a few times, to see what everyone's doing.Anyway, this covered and spoofed every single soap cliché there was - resentful step-children; bratty bitchy bimbos who turn nice only to get killed later; prohibited par-lances with priests, politicians and pro-tennis players; multiple murders - or multiple ways to carry out ONE murder - shot, stabbed, strangled, suffocated - - AND bludgeoned. Well, the bludgeoning was always a fail-safe.I'm renting and burning each season now and it's going to take a few weeks, but I'm going to have the time of my life. Welcome back to my living room, Tates, and Campbells, you sure were missed.

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.
