Soap - Complete 1st Season (2-DVD) (1977) On DVD

The Groundbreaking Comedy Series! The controversial sitcom that defined the late '70s and became an instant classic, SOAP took viewers into the homes of not one but two of the most dysfunctional families ever-and we couldn't help but embrace every eccentric one of them! This first season introduces us to ten quirky lives of the Tates and the Campbells. The unparalleled cast features Billy Crystal, Richard Mulligan, Robert Guillaume, Emmy nominees Katherine Helmond and Cathryn Damon, Robert Mandan, Diana Canova, Jimmy Baio and Arthur Peterson. The series' first season was nominated for 4 Emmy Awards and won for Outstanding Art Direction in a Comedy Series. This 2-disc set contains the entire first season of 25 full episodes!

Airing on ABC-TV from 1977 to 1981, SOAP parodies the conventions of the soap opera in its story of two families, the Tates and the Campbells, and all their adventures and disagreements--which include everything from infidelity to insanity to alien abduction. The series is also notable for having one of the first openly gay characters in prime time television--Jodie Dallas (Billy Crystal). The first season is included in these three volumes.
