I'm laughing so hard here that tears are running down my face.

I'd forgotten how hysterically funny Soap (the TV series) was. Dayum, they just don't make 'em like that any more.

Did you know that the bagel is one of the most dangerous pieces of food there is? Find out why...

1. Soap is my absolute favorite tv series of all time. Thanks!

[mzteris]

2. the only other show that funny -

WKRP.....

what happened to TV? I don't even watch it anymore. . .

[kas125]

4. Me, either. I pay for two hundred channels just to watch

the Daily Show/Colbert and Countdown. And FSTV once in a while. The rest of the time, the thing is off or it's on the Sirius Grateful Dead channel playing music.

6. I refuse to do the turkey joke.

Even though it WAS absolutely the most funny moment in TV history.

9. Allow me

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!!!" -- Arthur Carlson

19. Gordon Jump (Arthur Carlson) was on both Soap and WKRP

On Soap he played Chief of Police Tinkler who dealt with Jessica with as much aplomb as Arthur Carlson did with the WKRP staff.

I blame the decline of TV on "Seinfled" and "Friends" - shows with no plot just lowered the writing standards too much. :hide:

3. I never watched this ...

But oh my god...

Freakin' hilarious!

:rofl:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

7. You never saw this scene, or you never watched Soap?

I can't imagine having gone through life without watching Soap. It's impossible.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Guess what?

I never saw either!

When did it air?

It's not impossible, sweetie...

I never watched it...

Sorry!

:blush:

10. You've been seriously deprived, girl.

It started in '77.

11. I've been seriously deprived many times!

In 1977, I was finishing up getting my LVN, and I watched literally NO television...maybe the news.

That was it.

Thanks for the link...

5. Ah for the real world before Reagan/Bush/Bushco Inc.

:rofl:

12. My favorite scene from Soap apparently is not on YouTube

Jody, Bert, Danny and Chuck (maybe some other male characters, too) are all in a bar trying to pick up each others' moods. Bert explains the meaning of life - it is classic Bert and I just love that scene. I wish I could find it on video.

[MissMillie]

14. I love that one!

they leave Bob on the table as they head out the door, and when the barkeep asks them who will pay the tab, they point at Bob....

LOVE IT!!!!

[csziggy]

17. Yes! Finally somebody else remembers that scene!

For years not one person I have described it to has remembered it.

What is sad is that we had almost all the episodes of Soap recorded on video tape - Beta video tape. :cry:

[mzteris]

20. one of my fav's

is where Jessica is showing her sister why a woman should never "be on top". . . She crawls on top of the table looking down and shows how her face is all "jowley" because the skin hangs down and then leans back showing her face "taut" because the skin "sags" backward.

13. Richard Mulligan was pure comedic genius on that show.

I've yet to see him do anything that even remotely compares to his work on Soap.

Edit to add: Burt wakes up on the spaceship.

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. I still remember the Burt 'I'm going to have sex' dance

from 30 years ago!

16. A bagel cost my friend $100 and 6 stitches back about 1980.

[redqueen]

18. Aw, I loved that show...

especially Burt. :)
