No Soap, Radio is an American sitcom and sketch comedy that aired on ABC on Thursdays from April 15 until May 13, 1982.[1] Five episodes were broadcast.[2][3] The five episodes also appeared on the BBC, where the deletion of commercial breaks gave the show an even more rapid-fire look.

The title is taken from a 1950s prank where "no soap radio" is given as a non-sequitur punchline to a joke.[4]
