Soap – the Complete Series SOAP – THE COMPLETE SERIES Short Synopsis: This controversial sitcom defined the late '70s and was an instant classic!

Surprises and shenanigans abound between the families of two sisters, Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell, where each family member is either crazy, involved in an incriminating secret, or both. The unparalleled cast features Katherine Helmond (TV's Who's the Boss?), Richard Mulligan (TV's Empty Nest), Robert Guillaume (TV's Benson), Cathryn Damon (TV's Webster), Robert Mandan (The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas), and Billy Crystal (When Harry Met Sally).

I argue that during this period, television became invested in new and provocative images of masculinity on screen and in networks’ attempts to court audiences of men. I have demarcated the beginning and ending of the long 1980s with the declaration of Jimmy Carter as Time magazine’s Man of the Year in 1977 and Bill Clinton’s inauguration in 1993. This also correlates with important shifts in the television industry, such as the formation of ESP-TV (later ESPN) in 1979 and the end of Johnny Carson’s tenure as host of The Tonight Show on NBC in 1992.
