Benson as a source of humor is historically significant in television.

 ABC | Ident
At a time when ‘channel branding’ is the creed of television executives everywhere, and companies flog idents to death through indifference or change them so rapidly as to lose all meaning, ABC seems to have hit a magic formula that sophisticated modern companies are still hunting for blindly.
Using essentially the same musical ident as the later version (the music having predated the triangle symbol anyway), the ‘serif’ ident was clever and dominated the screen in a way not thought of at a time when most geometric idents zoomed in or spun on their own axis.
It leaves more questions than it answers as Benson mentions “the Northern station” in the singular, ignoring the three transmitters and two broadcasters that served the then pan-north region (Winter Hill, Emley Moor, Scarborough; ABC Weekend and Granada).

 Television Heaven
A to Z of TV This spin-off of the Susan Harris-created farce Soap sent the Tate family’s insolent African-American butler Benson (Robert Guillaume) to the mansion of Jessica Tate’s bumbling cousin, Governor James Gatling (James Noble).
Benson also did well in the political arena; in 1984 he was elected the state’s Lieutenant Governor, second-in-command to Gatling.
It may have been a stretch having Benson rise from butler to a political force, but it worked thanks to Robert Guillaume’s presence and skill for comedy; he won two Emmy awards as Benson DuBois--one as a supporting actor on Soap; the other in 1985 for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.
