SOAP. It was hilarious, ground-breaking, and a generational touchstone. It was pushing boundaries and challenging conventions, all while ostensibly a parody of soap operas.
It's amazing how times have changed since SOAP first aired. At the time, it was groundbreaking, a real breath of fresh air, and completely hilarious. Nowadays, it's CRINGE! It helped to change the culture, but also rendered itself obsolete.
It brought the first gay man into living rooms across the country.
Really shouldn't use an acronym for a show that you're saying has been forgotten culturally. Because either people do recognize the acronym meaning that the show hasn't been forgotten, or they're like me and they don't know what it means. Either way kind of ineffectual.
