49 years ago today, Soap premiered on ABC.

I am watching this series on Tubi, what a goldmine of laughter this show was.

Mary’s look is an entire mood sometimes 🤣

What a mindfuck this was for a 70s kid ❤️ Soap, Mary Hartman-Mary Hartman, Fernwood Tonight. And throw in Benson

One of the best sitcoms in history

The whole cast was hysterical.

I loved this show. Must’ve watched all the repeats since it premiered when i was 5

My favorite line: “Mickey Mouse’s dog is GAY?” Look it up if you have to, to understand the magic.

This show really went off the rails but the first 2 seasons were an absolute riot.

I was watching Soap today. It’s still hilarious. 😆

I remember seeing this episode and it is still hilarious 😂

Series 1 & 2 were wonderful. "Mickey Mouse's dog was gay?"

That was a great show. Became a lifelong fan of Katherine Helmond.

When this show was on I had mono and I swear it helped me get better. Also, my mom bought me a parakeet and we named him Jody after Billy Crystal’s character. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

that is sweet

This is one of the most brilliant comedy bits of all time. I remember this when it was first aired. It’s the performances that make this work. That was a great show.

Way ahead of its time.

This is probably my favorite show of all time. Imagine if they rebooted it now with on streaming without censorship.

I would love this show to stream somewhere.

It was brilliant. It currently features, with ads but otherwise free. On Tubi, which is also free.

Absolutely loved that show!

Burt the alien was probably my favourite story line. 😂😂😂😂

Hilarious

I liked that show. I also remember Mary hartman.

The UK aired this late on a Sunday night, but I always stayed up to watch - loved it

What a hoot!😂

Was hilarious

Brilliant comedy 🤣👏👏

One of the funniest most warped shows I'd seen on TV to that point.

This show was hysterical! Billy Crystal! 📺❤️✌🏼

👏👏👏👏👏👏

EXCELLENT show

Zany funny

I loved this show & Mary Hartman!

I’m old enough to have watched it new. It was brilliant.
