5/5 Sillier than Season 1
  by Genevieve Hayes (Australia)
Season 2 of "Soap" picks up where Season 1 left off. Finally, Peter's killer is revealed; Fr. Tim and Corinne get married; and Jodie moves in with Carol. These events give rise to a new series of story arcs, including Eunice falling in love with an escaped convict, Corinne giving birth to a demonically possessed baby, and Chester losing his mind and running away from home.

I bought the first two seasons of "Soap" after spending most of my childhood hearing, from my parents (who saw it when it was first on TV), just how funny it was. It took me a while to get around to watching it, because I was convinced that it could not possibly live up to what my parents had told me, but when I did finally get around to seeing it, over 30 years after it was first aired, I realized that everything my parents had told me was true. "Soap" is, without a doubt, one of the funniest TV shows I have ever seen, and it holds up extremely well after all of these years.

The story lines in the second season of "Soap" are sillier than those in the first, and whether this is a good thing or a bad thing will largely depend on your point of view. I, personally, liked the "out there" story lines. Aliens, evil babies, cults, all of these things are great as far as I'm concerned. However, my mother preferred the more reality-based plots of the first season. The best thing about Season two is that it allowed some of the characters who were in the background in Season one to become more developed. Eunice (Jennifer Salt), for example, whom I considered to be essentially a "non-character" in Season one, now gets a major story arc and proves that she is just as funny as her fellow cast members, although Jodie (Billy Crystal), who had a major part in Season one, slips into the background. Finally, as with Season one, Season two also ends on a cliff-hanger (or three). One that will make you want to keep watching into Season three.

my mom likes the old school comedy... so far I've bought the 1st and 2nd season of Soap for her and she's thrilled. Excellent choice :-)

5/5 A blast from the past
  by Maureen Friend (San Diego, CA)
Oh, how I loved to watch SOAP when it first aired. My entire family would congregate in the living room and laugh away. Recently, my family discovered this dvd series. I was thrilled to see the show stands the test of time and still enthralls my children as much as it did me. The show has also triggered intelligent questions from my children regarding sociological issues dealt with in SOAP. It is also just a hoot!
