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.DVD Features:Region (unknown)3-Disc Set - Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Mono - English
