Watch Now
Soap followed the lives of two families, the wealthy Tates and the middle-class Campbells. The show's ensemble cast included Katherine Helmond, Robert Mandan, Richard Mulligan, Cathryn Damon, Billy Crystal, Diana Canova, and Jimmy Baio, among others.

The series was known for its controversial storylines, including the first openly gay character on American television, played by Billy Crystal. The character, Jodie Dallas, faced backlash from some viewers and advertisers, but also received praise for bringing LGBT representation to mainstream TV.

Soap also featured parody advertisements for fictional products, including "The Confessional," a phone booth-like device for Catholics to confess their sins remotely, and "Helio," a fake brand of heroin.

Throughout its run, the show maintained high ratings and critical acclaim. However, it also faced criticism and controversy, with some viewers considering the show's content too offensive. Soap was ultimately cancelled due to declining ratings and backlash from conservative groups.

Despite its controversies, Soap's impact on television is still felt today. Its genre-bending format and willingness to push boundaries set the stage for later shows like Twin Peaks and Desperate Housewives.
