Me and my dad have recently been watching "Soap", and we think it's hilarious. I rated it a 9. We're on season 3 at the moment, and we love Benson's character.
I noticed Benson got his own spin-off series. Is it any good? IMDB rates it with a low score of 7.1 (soap got 8.2). Is it worth watching after we're finished with "Soap"? Or is it one of those shows that only have a few good episodes, and if so, could you guys recommend us any episodes? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Never really watched Soap, but Benson's show was a hit item in syndication in 1986, which is when I started watching it. Hilarious.

I vote yes.
Not as good as Soap, but definitely worth watching.
Wait a minute who am I here?

It was a great show-especially seasons 1-4.Just imagine Benson throwing his wise cracks around with a cast of new characters. Robert Guillaume really was an underrated sitcom actor.

I agree. He was excellent in the role, on both shows.

I think Season 2 was the best. Lots of favorite episodes in that one. Especially "Clayton, Go Home" and "The Governor's House Call".
