I’ve just watched it for the anniversary. It’s been a quarter of a century today (March 22nd) since the gang came together and filming it became one of my treasures. for pointing out that the insightful Soap reunion sponsored by the Museum of Broadcasting took place Ma– 25 years ago yesterday.

His Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy might’ve told us “Don’t Panic” I think Jay would probably say “You probably should panic, but really, what’s the point?” Honestly, the only other person I can think of who had these qualities was Douglas Adams. There’s a certain tension that exists when you have someone who is both self-aware and aware of the ridiculousness of his surroundings, and that person has a career in Hollywood. I’ve frequently said here (and in the Soap book) that Jay Johnson gives the impression of being the smartest guy in the room, and his post here only underscores that. While it’s great to see Jay Johnson’s photos from today’s honoring of Robert Guillaume on Hallmark’s Home and Family show, Jay’s thoughts on it all are exactly what we’ve come to expect from his Internet soap ( Soap?) box: an honest reflection on whatever subject he’s decided to turn his mind to.
