Ran from 1979 to 1986.
It was a spinoff of Soap, which was further left in general; Benson had a completely different tone.

I remember the Golden Girls episode where she played Rose’s nasty sister Holly

Soap pushed homosexual characters, i.e. Jodie Dallas who was played by Billy Crystal.

The Major was great, but I could NOT STAND the demonic Jodie Dallas!!!!

She was memorable as Helen Keller's mother in the movie “The Miracle Worker”. I'll always remember the opening scene when she realizes her daugher isn't responding to her. Chilling.

Gregory Sierra as El Puerco was funny.
