New Economical Packaging Saves Fans Money and Shelf Space Too!
Culver City, Calif. (April 7, 2008) – The laugh-out-loud, controversial and groundbreaking parody of soap opera melodrama, Soap: The Complete Series, will be one of the first series to arrive in brand new space-saver packaging June 10 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Designed to save space and provide excellent value as well, the compact spindle box is jam-packed with 12 discs and includes every one of the series’ 90 laugh-filled episodes. Soap: The Complete Series is priced at a money-saving $59.95 SRP.
Starring Emmy® Award winner Billy Crystal (Analyze That, Monsters, Inc.), Emmy® Award winner Robert Guillaume (TV’s “Benson”), Golden Globe® Award winner Kathryn Helmond (TV’s “Who’s The Boss?”) and Emmy® Award and Golden Globe® winner Richard Mulligan (TV’s “Empty Nest”), Soap was conceived as a primetime satire of daytime “soaps.” Over its four-year run, the series toppled many TV taboos, and openly addressed a variety of controversial topics with a combination of wit, slapstick and drama. The talented cast and outrageous storylines made it an instant fan and critical favorite and helped it become one of ABC’s top-rated shows. Nominated for 17 Emmy® Awards and winning four, Soap was created by Susan Harris (TV’s “Golden Girls”).
Soap takes viewers into the homes of not one but two of the most dysfunctional families ever -- the wealthy Tates and the blue-collar Campbells. Their lives are larger than life and with some of the craziest cast of characters ever: sarcastic butlers, a World War II hero who’s still thinks he’s living in the 1940s and a husband who once thought he could make himself invisible. Secrets, scandals and bizarre mishaps abound as the two class-divided families try to co-exist.
