Re: Announcing MAUDE : The Complete First Season DVD
A series that brought new and controversial subject matter to television.
I might pick this up just to remind myself how good Adrienne Barbeau looked.

Re: Announcing MAUDE : The Complete First Season DVD
I really hated this show. Unlike All in the Family, where Archie's extreme conservatism was made to look foolish, Norman Lear obviously agreed with all of the looney liberal ideas that Maude was always spouting so her extreme views were played as perfectly acceptable and right. Therefore there was never any strong counterpoint to balance her arguments.
Barbeau was good looking though, even with the poodle hair.

I've only seen maybe two episodes of this in my life, but I am so getting it. I love Bea Arthur and cannot wait to see more.

You and I think alike, Michael. This will be another Sony release I'll be passing on. I wish they'd consider some of their 50's and early 60's catalog, but since those shows are in - gasp - black & white no one would want to buy them [insert appropriate sarcastic look here].

Re: Announcing MAUDE : The Complete First Season DVD
we (the Bea Arthur fans) should be at least thankful we're getting this on DVD
You know what this means for fans outside of the states whos tv channels/networks have never broadcasted this show? I have only saw an episode online in youtube and it was GREAT!
try and see the bigger picture guys

Maude premiered in 1972... THIRTY-FIVE years ago. Hardly a show to make a rant about how companies are bypassing their golden oldies in favor of new shows from last season. Because 35 years is a really long time and Maude is technically a "golden oldie" in and of itself. |

I agree. I also have only seen the one said Maude episode that was on YouTube and loved it. I wasn't around to see the original run of this show and it's been out of syndication forever (we didn't get TV Land when they ran it). But I am a fan of Bea's through The Golden Girls and cannot wait to explore her earlier show, and the fact that Rue McClanahan is also part of the cast is icing on the cake. |

Jay, I specifically framed my comments with phrases like "black & white" and "50's and early 60's." What's old to one person isn't to another. That's a given. But it doesn't change the basic premise of my comments. Sony is obviously allergic to their ol | |
