Any fans of Soap here

Before watching soaps I will rather stop frying squirrels.

Currently enjoying, since over a year now, fifth season of this old series, Northern Exposure, which was released completely on German-dubbed DVD just two years ago or so over here, Now that is TV that does not give me the feeling of a complete waste of time.

In Germany they broadcasted just the first season ith 8 episode over 20 years ago - usually at 2 a.m. in the norning. The demand was there amongst audience, it praised it. but the broadcaster said it did not fly. Well, at 2 a.m. in the morning, what did they expect?

Soap was a parody of the Soap opera genre. Wife and I use to watch it all the time. It was hilarious and had some real plot twists. Alien abduction was one of them. It also featured a young Billy Crystal as Jodie Dallas, one of the first openly gay characters on US television. Chuck Campbell another character seldom spoke unless it was through his ventriloquist dummy Bob.

R.I.P. Katherine.

Never watched soap, but remember her from "Who's the Boss" series during my teens.

RIP

"Bob's a dummy!"

"Dumb or smart, they're our children, and we love them."

Yeah, Helmond was a favorite.
