content
Soap is a parody of the soap operas popular at the time , which ran in abundance in the evening program. The series tells the story of two sisters, Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell, as well as their families, friends and domestic workers, and takes place in the fictional location of Dunn's River, Connecticut . The characters are over-the-top and bizarre, the stories and plot are grotesque and extremely funny. Soap doesn't leave out any taboo , cliché or embarrassment . It's about murder and the mafia , about sex , homosexuality , promiscuity and impotence , about racism , religion , exorcism and politics , about disease , schizophrenia and abysmal stupidity , and it's about alien abductions.
The episodes were cut quickly, there was punch after punch and each episode began with a "What happened so far ..." and ended with a cliffhanger .
On April 20, 1981, the fourth season came to an end according to the usual cliffhanger principle.
Charisma
At the beginning of the 1980s, 26 episodes of the series ran in some third-party programs in Germany . The entire series was broadcast between 1988 and 1992 by Sat.1 and the cable channel under the title Die Ausflippten , with the 26 episodes already shown in the first season being re-dubbed.
