Soap tv show theme song series#

Series creator Susan Harris has indicated that, had she known the show was going to be cancelled, it wouldnвЂ™t have ended on a cliffhanger.ДЄ wrap-up of some kind was considered but as time went on, it looked as if it would be too difficult to reassemble the large cast. When the last episode was filmed, the cast and crew had every expectation that the series would be picked up for a fifth year.

The voice-over says вЂњAnd what about Chuck and Bob? Oh wait, theyвЂ™re not on this show!вЂќ Bob looks at Chuck and scolds, вЂњSee, I told you we werenвЂ™t on this show!вЂќ Chuck retorts, вЂњOh shut up, Bob.вЂќ The announcer ends the episode by saying, вЂњConfused? You wonвЂ™t be after the next episode of That вЂ™70s Show!вЂќ (To hear more about this cameo, listen to the second part of our interview with Jay Johnson.) In the final scene, we see Chuck and Bob on the living room couch. During the end credits we hear Soap-like music and announcer Rod Roddy teases the audience about what will happen to the showвЂ™s characters. The 31st episode of That вЂ™70s Show called вЂњVanstockвЂќ includes a brief tribute to Soap. As she вЂњfloatsвЂќ out of the room, we hear the strains of SoapвЂ™s theme song one last time. She tells him not to worry because sheвЂ™ll get out of it somehow, as she always does. As the two share a tender farewell, Jessica realizes that sheвЂ™s definitely not dead but is actually in a coma somewhere in South America. After several bungled attempts, she succeeds in a way that also alleviates BensonвЂ™s problems. Jessica tells Benson that she needs to find a way to do a good deed that will help get her into heaven. Moments later, his old friend appears to him in a spirit form that only he can see. It doesnвЂ™t help when he finds out that the Tates are trying to have still-missing Jessica declared legally dead.

In вЂњGod, I Need This Job,вЂќ Benson is very stressed about his job as budget director. In September 1983, over two years after the end of Soap, an episode of spin-off Benson gave viewers one last glimpse of Jessica Tate. The series ends with several unresolved cliffhangers. SheвЂ™s placed in front of a firing squad and we hear the guns fire. Jessica tries to cajole and convince her captors not to execute her but is unsuccessful. Feeling humiliated, he decides to shoot the pair first. Danny and AnnieвЂ™s affair is discovered by a despondent Chester whoвЂ™ll likely soon die in a duel with El. Before he can decide, Burt is lured into an ambush by thugs whoвЂ™ve been told to kill him. The Governor of Connecticut wants Burt to run as his Lieutenant Governor but insists that Burt distance himself from his crazy family. After being hypnotized and regressed to a past life, Jodie still believes that heвЂ™s an old Jewish man named Julius.

Mary is upset that her baby is likely half alien. If El doesnвЂ™t return to the island, sheвЂ™ll be killed. Jessica has been kidnapped by El PuercoвЂ™s enemy and brought back to Malaguay. Ronald Mallu (Eugene Roche), and urbane butler Saunders (Roscoe Lee Browne). Later characters include convict Dutch Leitner (Donnelly Rhodes), Detective Donahue (John Byner), lawyer E. Chuck is a ventriloquist who believes that his nasty and constant companion puppet Bob is a live person. One of BurtвЂ™s sons, Chuck (Jay Johnson), also lives in the Campbell house. Mary lives a middle-class life with her second husband Burt (Richard Mulligan) and two sons from her first marriage gay Jodie Dallas (Billy Crystal) and Mafia tough guy Danny Dallas (Ted Wass). JessicaвЂ™s senile father, the Major (Arthur Peterson), and sarcastic butler Benson DuBois (Robert Guillaume) serve as consistent sources of humor and commentary on the crazy Tate household. Naive Jessica is part of a rich family which includes her philandering husband Chester (Robert Mandan) and three children man-crazy Corrine (Diana Conva), snotty Eunice (Jennifer Salt), and often-ignored Billy (Jimmy Baio).
