“Family Feud: The Comical Drama of the Campbells and the Tates (1977-1981)
This photo captures the unforgettable ensemble cast of ‘Soap,’ the groundbreaking primetime comedy that brilliantly satirized daytime soap operas through the outrageous lives of the Campbell and Tate families. Airing from 1977 to 1981, the show featured stellar performances from comedy legends including Katherine Helmond, Richard Mulligan, and a breakout young Billy Crystal.
‘Soap’ made television history by fearlessly tackling controversial topics like homosexuality, prostitution, and murder during the conservative late 1970s. The show pushed boundaries even further with wild plotlines involving alien abductions, demonic possessions, and kidnappings. Despite nearly being canceled before its premiere due to its provocative content, ‘Soap’ developed a cult following and became one of TV’s most daring and influential comedies.
