Product: Soap - The Complete Third Season (1977)
Rating: 5.0
Season 3 repeats the back cover text of Season 2
Soap has always been a great show and I thought that Season 3 was one of its best. However, if you look at the back cover of Season 3, it practically repeats Season 2 except with the re-arrangement of the cast's names. The result is somewhat confusing (plot lines/story arcs) and unfair (see below).Robert Guillaume (Benson) won the Emmy as Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for Season 2 and not Season 3. Guillaume actually left only after the first few episodes of Season 3 to star in his own spin-off, Benson (which ran longer than Soap eventually). Worse, it fails to mention that Season 3 boasted Emmy award winning performances from Richard Mulligan (Bert) and Cathryn Damon (Mary) who won Best Actor and Actress in a Comedy (they failed to receive them personally because of the strike that affected the Emmy show).The lack (or the absence) of extras is already unforgivable but neglecting not one, but two Emmy winners?Columbia Tri Star Home Entertainment you have some explaining to do.And [...] please note that the main stars of Soap are NOT Allan Miller, Lynne Moody, Peggy Pope as you mention in the Product Description.
