Fave eps/moments from Season 1 DVD? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

To all you Soap fans at SO who've got the Season 1 DVD: what are some of your favorite moments, quotes, etc. from that season?

For me, the moment that had me ROFL was in episode 20 when Burt found Bob stuffed into the refrigerator. His expressions were absolutely priceless.
Corrine's seduction of Father Tim was a scream and the season finale capped it off nicely:"So we can't have sex until we're married. ... Well, what about petting? Can't we at least hold hands?"

As for other quotes, Jessica telling off Ingrid (ep. 19) was classic: "Well, if my child had been taken from me, I would have moved heaven and earth to get her back -- and it wouldn't have taken me 'tventy-tree years!' HAH!" I was jumping off the couch yelling, "You tell her, honey!"
My favorite "grab your hankies" moments were Barney's bedside speech to Jodie after his suicide attempt (ep. 10) and Mary convincing Jessica she's not "a useless person" (ep. 18)

Pretty much anything involving Burt cracked me up, the faces he made early on because Jodie was gay, how he waved his arms and snapped his fingers to become "invisible". And it was funny everytime Chuck/Bob made a crack about somebody, and the person would react to the dummy.

Funny thing about Soap was, as over the top as it is, they gave the actors a chance to show a real dramatic side every once in a while. A hanky-grabbing moment for me was the episode with Mary and Jessica in a restaurant and they catch Chester with another woman. Then Jessica says, "Everything everyone's been saying all these years is true. Oh Mary, I would faint if I knew how."

I thought any thing with Burt was absolutly hilarious. I also loved the part were Jessica is in court and the Major jumps in through the window and says that he is going to hold the prosecuter hostage. Another part I like is when the police man is going through the suspects and says that Benson is a suspect because he's black and Jodie because he's gay. I liked it when Jessica was telling Ingrid that it shouldn't take twenty-three years to find her child. For the more dramatic moments I'd have to say it would be were Mary is explaining to Jessica why she is not useless.

I luved it when Benson wuz standing behind the major who wuz the only one at the dining room table, & Benson made a whistling sound like a bomb dropping & the major jumped under the table. Then Benson goes "BOOM"!! That wuz hilarious.

Pretty much every moment was good to me. Jessica and Mary were always my favorite characters, along with Benson. One show did stand out to me, it was where the women were sitting around the table eating and they were talking about sex. Corinne talked about being horny and Jessica got this weird look on her face and said, "Horny, what's horny"? I also liked when Burt was obsessed with finding Peter's killer, Jess is visiting Mary and Burt sneaks up and pulls out one of Jessica's hair. Jessica says teaaaa. I was rolling on during that scene. Jessica seemed naive and ditzy, but when something needed to be said she could be serious.
