Never watched Benson but Soap was great. Another favorite was Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

So there’s so much dying from *suddenly* that they are telling us when someone dies from natural causes????

The Benson from SOAP was completely different than the Benson for the show of the same name.

Lol. Stop reaching. She was 90. Go google a 20 year old who died that you obsess about every minute.

Soap pushed homosexual characters, i.e. Jodie Dallas who was played by Billy Crystal. At least you had Burt there to counter it. Can't imagine them doing this today.

I don’t think the show was PUSHING homosexual characters I think it was pushing the absurdity of the characters back in the day when this show was popular gay people were basically unheard of or deep in the closet!! I never saw the show as trying to make being gay NORMAL!!
To: napscoordinator
You clearly missed the whole point.
Not sure if it was deliberate or not.

OMG it is so sad that we can no longer have comedy like this, that clip is hysterical!! How long has it been since we have laughed at a sitcom out loud like I just did at this clip!!
To: Trump Girl Kit Cat
If they featured them, they were pushing them. It was indeed normalization. All the media portrayed the existence of the Jodie Dallas character as “groundbreaking”, thus admitting it was normalization.

Burt thought he was an alien, the major thought he was still at war, JEEZE you are taking everything so seriously IT WAS COMEDY for goodness sakes they were NOT PUSHING being gay the characters ALL represented the absurdity of the characters they played!!
To: Trump Girl Kit Cat
I’m only repeating what I observe. And I never saw that Jodie Dallas was ever presented as a representation of absurdity.
And some things you thought you could take lightly in the past, you discover you should have taken seriously all along. Not to mention, God does not take stuff like this lightly.

Bob had a few good zingers too whenever he met Jodie. Always referred to him as the fruit
