204.0. "SOAP (the show)" by SLOHAN::FIELDS (Strange Brew) Tue Jan 04 1994 03:11

    	for those of you who did not watch (channel-surf) the cable over
    the New Years weekend will be sad to learn that "SOAP" was shown on the
    Comedy Channel, all 93 shows ! 46 1/2 hours !!!!!
    
    	but not to fear !!!! it will be on at 730 PM starting today !!!!

    OH I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I don't think I've missed more than
    a doezen episodes - tough it did get real, reallame the last year it
    weas on.
    
    I don't have cable so I don't get the Comedy Channel but was over 
    a friend's house Sunday morning and if circumstances were different I
    would haver stayed all day and night to watch it.
    
    Its one of those shows that was so daring and risque when it was on and
    now it looks like a kiddie soap opera. 
    
    Anyone have some/al of this on tape?

204.2Did it really end like that?UHURU::LAMBERTHave a heart, pleaseWed Jan 05 1994 00:4218
I saw most of it.  I fell asleep around 3:00 AM, woke up around 6:00 AM and
continued, my wife insisted on watching Charlie  Kuralt show from 9:30 to
10:00 so that's all I missed.  I'd lost interest in the show after a few
seasons - but I was addicted to  it throughout this rerun.  Seeing all the
episodes in order, non-stop was great.  It's still better today, than most
of what's on now.

I never saw the last episode when it was originally running, did they
really end it with Jessica in front of a firing squad, Burt  walking into a
mob hit, and Danny about to get shot by Chester?  I almost flipped out when
that tured out to be the last episode.

With so many re-union shows going around it's a shame they don't do a Soap
reunion.

    i didn't know about the soap marathon until they were already into the
    second season (and the first season was my favorite).  so glad they
    started showing the episodes again from the beginning at 7:30 EST.  saw
    number 1 last night.
