WARNING: SPOILERS. HAPPENING. BELOW. DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW.

Season 1, Episode 1



This show though... where the heck do I begin?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075584/

It's just one of those legendary classic shows from a bygone era of politically incorrect absurdity. Certainly one of my all time favorite shows, loved watching this on TVLand when I was a youngster.

My favorite character on the show was Corinne. I just loved her name foremost, what a gorgeous name... wow. The whole devilbaby saga was priceless, and Jessica's unforgettable remark about getting pregnant from a toilet seat, ROFL. Those were the days!

I always thought Richard Mulligan was very handsome.

1:09 and Benson, LOL... just steals every scene he's in. Absolute legend. What a great show. Robert Guillaume is quite handsome as well. He enjoyed some much deserved spotlight and success for 7 seasons of his own spin-off "Benson" (1979) which aired for 3 years longer than Soap did! Not too common that a spin-off lasts longer than the original show!

1:45 "Such a mind of your own" roflroflrofl.

1:50 "Eggs Benedict? Get outta here." ROFLMFAO my thoughts exactly lmfao that shit is too hard.

I feel like Benson and I are a lot alike. If you've got a cook, why are you gonna tell them what to cook?? You obviously have them there because you can't or don't want to cook. Why not just trust the expert? But, if they had a known menu you could choose from, it'd be more reasonable to ask for specific things... it would even make sense.

4:16 I always felt bad for Jessica, she's sort of simple and well-meaning generally but just really naive, LOL.

5:18 I think it's funny how they show the time on the screen.

5:40 lmfao Billy totally speaking my truth right now.

5:56 The Major is a damn good character too... that's what made these shows so magical was the addition of these totally off the wall characters who just come along doing crazy random shit. Such spontaneity. 

9:14 that one guy's laugh, oh my God. I am LIVING for that laugh.

14:42 BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAH OMGGGGGG I forgot about this plot twist... FUCK, this show is lit.

15:33 "Now you're talking." ROFLLLLLL.

17:40 bwhahahaha omg, you'd neverrrrr hear some shit like that on TV today.

18:20 "Colonel... who is this woman?" roflroflmfao.

19:30 it's Corinne... <3

20:45 what's good for the goose!

Awesome show, very fun.

Jessica?


The whole idea of Jessica is that nobody wants to ravage her.

1:56 roflmao she's getting banged by a tennis coach. LOL.

2:27 "Did it hurt?" ROFLMAO what the fuck?!!??!?!?!?!?

9:45 "Oh! You wear that belted! It looks much better that way!" ROFLMAO!!!

10:18 Billy Crystal is pretty sexy, he's got a great smile.

11:30 I love these old shows (and movies) because sometimes you can hear into the actors' minds. Without all the green screens and totally fake environments and retouching of footage etc., there are so many psychic vibes to pick up on, it just makes it so much more enjoyable to watch. There's no flow interruption.

12:40 "A transsexual" roflmfaolololll I almost spewed my drink, the way they delivered this scene was so perfect.

15:10 "Personally, I don't like the word" roflmfao!!!

16:47 that's a beautiful staircase.

21:28 soooo awkward lmfaololol.

21:35 lmfao and the brother in denial!

21:56 BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO FRICKEN WAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great show, ROFL.
