I remember that the bible-thumpers were all quite upset with the show - so that wouldn't surprise me at all.
The National PTA declared Soap one of "ten worst" shows in television..hahaha. I remember in 1977 I was at school one day laughing about a scene from an episode - and that evening one of my teachers called my parents to tell them they shouldn't let me watch the show - I think my mom said something to her along the lines of "get a life"...hahaha (I was in 7th grade).

The show was originally supposed to be for 5 seasons but ended after 4 & it left a lot of things unfinished and it was suddenly stopped - so yes I think the bible-thumpers were once again all freaked out because somewhere, someone was somehow having fun - and golly they can't allow that!

>>I agree. It was so well done from the writing to the acting. But the crap got higher ratings.

>>>I spent an entire hour last night watching old clips on YouTube. It's too bad that show only lasted 4 years, while ABC pushed crap like "Growing Pains" and "Full House" for far, far longer.
