MAUDE ran from 1972-78 and was brilliant in a way that the GG never was. GG relied too much on sex and jokes; MAUDE was more for character.

And on the final episode was Mary Louise Wilson. Other guests during the run were Henry Fonda, John Wayne, and Nanette Fabray. Rue Mc was Maude's best friend.

Check out clips on You Tube.

There are probably some "Maude" clips out there on some of those video sites.....

"THE GOLDEN GIRLS was post-MAUDE."

I KNOW that, S&M2. I know that. There was another point in my post, too subtle for you apparently, but as a narrator I just assumed my readers didn't need to be taken by the hand before they crossed the street to get to it.

"The Honeymooners" is already available on DVD, or at least it was. The original "classic 39" are on Paramount DVD and the color hour musicals are also out there.

I'm like a small child, Namo. I need to be led and held everywhere I go.

Great news! I'm a big Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman fan! Loved it! It's my favorite 70's show and my fondest memory of my senior year of High School. (Isn't that sad?) I had the biggest (secret) crush on Officer Foley. I used to drive my parents crazy with this show. I would stay up and insist on their watching it with me, but they just didn't get it. (Although, in spite of themselves, even they couldn't hold back a laugh every now and then.) I don't buy many television series on DVD (with the exception of The Judy Garland Show), but this is one collection I'll definitely have to consider, especially since you hardly ever see the episodes aired.

I loved Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman so much that I was also a regular viewer of Fernwood 2Nite!

The little girl singer in the iron lung - now THAT'S comedy.

And don't forget "Forever Fernwood". That was the 1977-78 revamped version of the show after "Mary" left the series.

Some of the stars:

Shelley Fabares
Dabney Coleman
Dody Goodman
Richard Hatch
Tab Hunter
Graham Jarvis
Marian Mercer
Greg Mullavy
Joe Penny
Mary Kay Place
Debralee Scott

From IMDB...

A spin-off of "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman." After Mary ran off with her policeman boyfriend and left town, the focus shifted to her heart-broken ex-husband Tom, and the rest of the oddball residents of Fernwood, Ohio

It's time to fess up. Who here (besides me) had Mary Kay Place's record ("Yes, RECORD!") with "Baby Boy" on it?

Can't say that I did.

my parents had the Mary Kay Place record with the blue cover (which i guess was her second album...ive never heard the one with the cowgirl cover!) & WE ALL LOVED IT!!!!
i would just stare at the cover for hours with little hearts flyin around my head.

it was a dream come true when John Waters cast her in one of his movies!
