...denounced it, the opposition has derided it, and some advertisers have pulled away from it. Even a few of ABC'S own affiliates have announced that they will not carry it but will stick with the usual mouthwash instead. Soap will not shock veterans of the late-night Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, but it is daring, and perhaps tasteless, for ABC to carry such a show in prime time.

He hands visitors who come to his messy office a business card that reads, MY CARD. He is nervous about his prime-time debut, convinced, like the new boy in school, that he won't find any buddies. If he is too outrageous, Chase fears, "people will switch channels and watch the semifinals of the archery." But confidence does not desert him for long. "When you're talking about a prime...
