"...became an instant smash hit with its brilliant and satirical spoofs of classic daytime programming."  Britt Gillette, The DVD Report
"Groundbreaking, hilarious, and surprisingly touching, it was must-watch TV of the late 1970s..."  Bryan Byun, DVD Verdict

 


Editor's Note

Soap opera met situation comedy with smashing success in this farcical take on daytime television that aired on ABC from 1977-1981. Exaggerating its intricate, serialized plotlines and overwrought melodrama, the show followed the exploits of two sisters, Jessica Tate (Katherine Helmond) and Mary Campbell (Cathryn Damon), as they navigated a complicated network of relationships between family, friends, lovers and enemies. Billy Crystal also had a notable role as one of the first openly gay characters on prime time. The hilarious storyline in the third season begins with an alien infiltration by a race known as the Sunnies, who kidnap Mary's husband Burt; meanwhile, Jessica must deal with her husband Chester's philandering ways.
