Soap - The Complete Series [DVD]

This is simply the greatest comedy series of all time.Filled with laugh out loud elements every single day.Please make this available on prime video so many others can enjoy it.

I love this series when it was new. I was very excited when I can get the whole series on four DVDs. However, each package has at least three DVDs in it. On the first season, the second disc, there are only four episodes! It’s supposed to be 11 through 20. It’s only 11 through 14. I waited too long to return this, but what a rip! Be careful! Watch it as soon as you get it to make sure it’s all there. Very disappointed.

I don't understand how a re-release of SOAP on DVD gets screwed up again. First, as others mentioned the discs were put in paper cases, something you would find for a game that would come with a computer from 1995. Now I was still willing to give this 4 or even 5 stars if this were a complete series but it's not.Yes, they did add the intros and outros to every episode which is an improvement over the last complete series release. One episode is still the syndicated version but ok. However, the show is still missing entire scenes. The second half of the 4th season had hour long episodes. These episodes on the DVD are the syndicated versions (cut down to 30 minutes). I would have more than OK with that but the syndicated episodes cut out full scenes.Most fans do not realize there are deleted scenes missing on the DVD because they grew up on SOAP in reruns or just don't remember. If you had the VHS sets from Columbia House you would have seen these deleted scenes. What's even more puzzling is that that there are three full hour episodes on the DVD set. These episodes were also split into 30 minute episodes for syndication. The set itself is very inconsistent.SOAP is one my favorite shows and I would love to one day own the entire series on DVD with the 4th season having hour long episodes in their original form. Then again if you never knew these scenes were missing then you probably are willing to give the show 4 or 5 stars which for your purposes is cool.

It has been a long time since the original broadcasting of SOAP. I find it just as "rolling in the aisle" funny today as I did back then. Also, I think SOAP continues to have relevance in today's world. Do yourself a favor, and get a lot of laughs in your life by watching this excellent collection of the original show, and remember it was filmed in front of a LIVE audience. Who does THAT anymore?

When I watched the original series years ago, I didn't completely understand the first episode. However, I was LITERALLY on the floor laughing by the 2nd or third. Later, I recorded the entire show on SVHS from cable, watched that a couple of times, and then bought the DVD set. So far, I've watched that twice and am about to watch it again. (and again, and again.....)

Great show with a very quirky cast of characters. Included here is the lovable wife who is blind to her husband's philandering. Her brother in law that hasn't made love to her sister because he does not know how to tell her that he killed her last husband. One of their sons who is in the mob trying to get out. Another son who is gay but considering a sex change to be with his boyfriend who is a star QB. And many more. Check this series out and I think you will find it a lot of fun !

I had forgotten how funny this series is. I bought it on a whim and ended up binge watching because I had to see what happened next. I love the way they fit so many stories into this series while still keeping it in a 'soap opera' format. The best part is that each storyline was wrapped up in 3-4 episodes so it didn't drag on forever. If you've seen Soap in the past, or are seeing it for the first time, you will be delighted with this series.

It's one of the funniest tv shows i've seen that's a parody of soap opera's. Richard Mulligan is the funniest and my favorite on the show he thinks he invisible. The main story is two family's the tates and the campbell's and the many controversial misadventures they end in. I highly recommend it.

Theres a few people saying this is unplayable in the UK. Wrong, if you use a computer linked to your TV and use VLC media player this dvd works. I bought the first season from Amazon streaming service only to find when I wanted the second and third season it had be taken off. This was the only watchable way to get the other season. This was a very funny comedy in its day, today it is classed as unexeptable, racist and homophobic, so if offended don't buy it. For me it's a trip down memory lane, and my kids don't think it's funny at.

As others have said, not playable here. I bought a DVD/Blu-Ray player which I was told was multi-region, but it couldn’t handle these. I don’t know if it’s the discs or the player that need to be coded. Shame, I was looking forward to revisiting this classic, which sent up soap before I truly understood the genre.

I missed this when first broadcast and think now it was the best series I have ever enjoyed for laughs and drama combined. I shall watch it all a second time.

Don't buy this.When i ordered this i thought it was region 2.When i received it i got region 1 that is useless to me.All DVD products MUST BE MORE DETAILED.

One of my favourite shows ever so happy to be able to watch whenever
