[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 191969, member: 27"] The serialized sitcom [I]Soap ([/I]1977-81) is often labeled a parody or satire, but its writing and especially its acting was as good as a 'real' soap, even as it was unabashedly performed as a comedy (complete with studio audience). To me, it is the best example of how you CAN do a good soap opera that is at heart a comedy (and vice versa), but that was a unique situation that could probably not be replicated in modern TV where everyone feels they have to put shows in neat, little boxes/categories.
