 Rating: - We love MAUDEWhy oh why isn't there more seasons of MAUDE? They need to make more!!! WE LOVE MAUDE! She was and still is very cutting edge. Talks about a lot of issues that are still taboo. What an amazing show! Rating:  - Bea Arthur at her finestLong a fan of "Golden Girls," I recently decided to check out "Maude," which was a bit before this twenty-something's time. I wasn't disappointed -- not only are Bea Arthur and supporting cast excellent, but the show's situations and humor are timeless. There's nothing that is said or done during these twenty episodes that isn't as relevant today as it was thirty years ago. Season 1, featuring Beatrice Arthur as Maude Findlay and David Macy as her fourth husband Walter, also includes Adrienne Barbou as Maude's twenty-something daughter Carol, who's moved back home with her son Phillip following her divorce. Key episodes include "The Grass Story," where Maude and her housewife friends are determined to get arrested for possession of marijuana after a local boy receives what they feel is an unjust punishment for the same; and the two-part "Maude's Dilemma," where the title character finds herself in a surprise pregnancy at the age of 47. If you haven't seen this show, give it a try! You'll soon be hooked. Rating: - OH MY GOD!This is one of the best sitcoms I have ever seen!!! I ordered this DVD because of all the good comments, and I was blown away bye Bea Arthur. I've seen her in the Golden Girls but I think this one's better!!! I hope Sony (or whichever it is) launches the other seasons (I don't know how many there were), I will buy all of the right away!!! If you like sitcoms from today, start my viewing the ones from the past and fall in love with Maude and all the bunch. Rating: - :( A great DVD that stopped at Season OneThis is a marvelous show. Brilliantly written and magnificently performed. The humor runs the gamut from giggly-cute to in-your-face. The characters are a whacky mix and the topics they discuss were sometimes very shocking in the 70's. This was a show that got people talking about these things, and helped them clear the air and have a good laugh about it. More than a few stubborn people had a change of heart thanks to this show. Wouldn't it be nice if Season Two was also available? Just think of all the great Season Two shows, languishing in the vaults, and nobody to enjoy them. Wouldn't it be nice if.....? Rating: - The 70s Feminist As Suburban Godzilla Norman Lear's seminal television series 'Maude' (1972-1978) harks back to a time when American adults were still adults, people freely and fearlessly spoke their minds, and the modern scourge of political correctness did not exist. Lear revolutionized American television with 'All In The Family' (1971-1979), which introduced audiences to bigoted conservative Queens resident Archie Bunker in an era when most viewers where still tuning in for pleasant rural fantasies like 'Mayberry R.F.D.' and established series with magical premises like 'Bewitched' (1964-1972). Where television comedies of the previous decade, from 'Mr. Ed' (1961-1966) to 'Hazel' (1961-1966), had emphasized genteel good manners and upper middle class respectability, All In The Family, with its coarse blue collar protagonist and his 'dingbat' wife, Edith, hit the ground running by boldly tackling themes of racism, anti-Semitism, rape, homosexuality, women's liberation, breast cancer, and impotence. Rumored to have been based on Lear's wife Frances, Maude Findlay originally debuted on All In The Family in a passing role as Edith Bunker's cousin. Maude was the diametric opposite of Archie Bunker: upper middle class, feminist, educated, intelligent, and, above all, liberal. Brilliantly portrayed by Beatrice Arthur, Lear wisely realized that he had television gold on his hands, and 'Maude' soared into primetime, as instant and controversial a success as All In The Family had been ...
