The forty-first anniversary of the premiere of the sit-com Soap was on the 13th. The show that made Benson possible. With Billy Crystal, and...I don't remember. Scott Baio's less successful cousin, Jimmy. Richard Mulligan.
I remember it well. A sit-com with a warning that it was for mature audiences.
I tried to watch it on DVD but it was filmed in front of a live audience and they kept laughing at things that weren't funny. It wasn't soap opera-y enough. Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman starring Woody Allen's ex-wife Louise Lasser came out a year earlier, was on five days a week and was better. It had better spin-offs, too---Fernwood Tonight and America Tonight.
