Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Ed Hulse
If anything, this groundbreaking sitcom got even more outrageous in its second season 1978-79 than it had been in its first. Soap effectively redefined the situation comedy, paving the way for a slew of shows that celebrated dysfunctional families. Initially a lightning rod for controversy, Susan Harris's soap-opera parody tackled subjects -- most of them having something to do with sex -- heretofore taboo for TV comedies. But these racy topics were presented with disarming, self-deprecating humor, masterfully conveyed in top-notch scripts performed to perfection by one of the best ensemble casts in the medium's history. In Season 2's 23 episodes, Chester Tate Robert Mandan finds his marriage to wife Jessica Katherine Helmond slowly unraveling. Meanwhile, Jessica's sister Mary Cathryn Damon begins to suspect husband Burt Campbell Richard Mulligan of having an affair, when he's actually been kidnapped by aliens, and their gay son, Jodie Billy Crystal, has fathered a child with girlfriend Carol Rebecca Balding. Another new arrival, born to the Tates' daughter, Corinne Diana Canova, and her ex-priest lover, seems to be demonically possessed. Trying to keep track of all the plot complications will certainly make your head spin, but it's well worth the effort. Soap is a show that operates on separate levels: the openly ridiculous soap-opera send-up always seems to be at the forefront, but the interpolation of then-incendiary plot elements and characterizations reflects what was a gradual loosening of the culture's strictures against frank discussion of racial and sexual matters. Not until Married with Children would a sitcom so thoroughly lampoon the American nuclear family. After seeing these shows again, you'll be amazed at how well they hold up -- a real tribute to the vision and craft of Susan Harris and her associates.
