_Benson_ was the much longer-running spinoff from the ground-breaking late 70s show _Soap_. For the most part, the series holds up, sans for a few points where society has moved on.
Last night, we finally got to the most famous episode "Scenario."
It's notable as the first appearance of the internet on network TV (really ARPANET). It is also quite a dramatic episode with a very heavy topic (nuclear war).

Actress #IngaSwenson -- best known for the three-time Emmy nominated role as Gretchen Kraus on #Benson -- has died at 90. Swenson first guested on #Soap as a different character before landing the regular role on the spinoff. Before TV, Swenson debuted on #Broadway in "New Faces of 1956" and was #TonyAward nominated twice for Best Actress in a Musical for "110 in the Shade" and "Baker Street".

#Benson s1e20 (1980) - 8/10
#DavidHuddleston (#Petrocelli, #Hizzonner) guests.
1️⃣ It’s a good, semi-serious story with plenty of funny lines. Something the show does very well. It is not, however, quite as good at tugging the heartstrings as #Soap, but this episode comes pretty darn close.
2️⃣ It also gives #JamesNoble a welcome chance to do something more emotional and significant than play throwaway moments as the dim-but-lovable Governor.
