Product Description

Following his breakout success on the legendary sitcom Soap, star Robert Guillaume reprises his popular role as the beloved butler Benson DuBois in the fabulous first season of this hit spin-off. Though a lifetime fixture of Soap’s crazy Tate family, Benson is sent by his employer, Jessica, to help run the disorganized household of her widowed cousin, Governor Eugene Gatling (James Noble). Once there, the fast-thinking, quick-witted servant soon finds himself not only managing the Governor’s mansion staff, headed by housekeeper Gretchen Kraus (Inga Swenson) and helping to raise the Governor’s daughter, Katie (Missy Gold), but even advising the Governor himself.

Customer Reviews

GREAT SHOW!! But....
This set is long overdue. What should be included on it is the 90 minute episode of SOAP (it had clips from season 2) that explained Benson leaving the Tates and taking the job in the Governor's mansion. I doubt that it will be on the set, but it serves somewhat as a pilot for Benson.

Can't wait to get Benson
I grew up on Benson shows. I was up all night watching the marathon in May of 2006, when TV land played them back to back. I realized how much I missed the show, and hoped it would be released on DVD soon. I hope the other seasons will soon follow. It's time we get Prime time tv back to shows like this and kick out the reality tv nonsense. I highly recommend Benson giving it 5 stars, and it's kid-friendly to boot..

Great show, WHERE'S THE OTHER SEASONS?
Great show, so so funny and very nice acting!! Great slim-line cases, single-sided disks and compilation. Now PLEASE give us the other seasons! Thanks!!!! Hurry up, the soup is getting cold!!!
