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.
Loved this show. Thanks Bobby.
I wish ABC would have let the series come to a conclusion.
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.
That was probably one of funniest and most underrated shows ever. That clip was hilarious. Thanks Bobby.
