SOAP SEASON 4 Long before Desperate Housewives, ABC took soap-opera conventions over the top. Racy for its time (for ours, even) the 1977-81 series features pitch-perfect work from Katherine Helmond, Richard Mulligan and Robert Guillaume, who reprised his sarcastic- butler role on Benson. The outrageous final season offers story lines involving a Latin American revolutionary, a possibly alien baby and a kung-fu fortress. Meanwhile, Billy Crystal, as one of TV's first gay characters, begins channeling the spirit of a 90-year-old Jewish man--which, come to think of it, he's been doing ever...
...mentality," explains senator Jean-Marie Dedecker, a Flemish conservative. And not just in Belgium. Some 30 cameras are attacked every year in the Netherlands. In the U.K., Motorists Against Detection says it's destroyed hundreds. The mother of such crusades is the Tuf-tuf Club.

Soap, after a slow start, has begun to change its intially idiotic female leads (Cathryn Damon and Katherine Helmond) into believable middle-aged heroins. Though there is much to lament about ABC's blockbusters, they are not beyond hope-and neither, it is safe to assume, is country that settles down to watch them each Tuesday night...
Sister Jessica (Katherine Helmond) is a well-fixed chucklehead whose husband (Robert Mandan) has not looked at her since she was 30. She is now learning tennis theory in bed with the pro. Grandpa thinks he is General Patton; Daughter Corinne does not come home at night any more; the family's ghetto-cool black butler condescends, quite rightly, to the whole...
