April 1981…The Last Episode Of “Soap” Airs On ABC
In spite of six months of controversy before it ever hit the air, “Soap” ranked #13 in the top 20 shows of the 1977-78 season and had good ratings is whole four year run. In 2007, Time Magazine, which initially panned the show, named it one of the 100 Best Shows of All-Time. This was Billy Crystal’s first big hit, but the whole cast was exceptional, and many consider the ensemble one of the best of the ’80s.
Here’s a short clip that pretty much characterizes the feel of the show. What a hoot! Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

To me, this is one of the funniest clips from TV ever. If you were a fan of Soap, you will love this.
That was probably one of funniest and most underrated shows ever. That clip was hilarious. Thanks Bobby.
Very funny !!!! It reminds me of a mic boom operator at NBC many years ago. Jerry Mahoney with Paul Winchel was on and the boom operator was actually panning the mic when Jerry was speaking !!! I couldn’t believe my eyes what I was seeing.
I wish ABC would have let the series come to a conclusion.
Loved this show. Thanks Bobby.
