About Maude: Gutsy, smart, outspoken, and liberal -- all are terms that describe Beatrice Arthur in the title role of the TV series that spun off from the popular All in the Family. Well-educated and upper-middle-class, Maude Findlay is the archetypal feminist of her generation. She lives in suburban Tuckahoe, New York, with her fourth husband, Walter (Bill Macy), their divorced daughter, Carol (Adrienne Barbeau), and grandson Phillip. The cast also includes Rue McClanahan as Maude's best friend Vivian; Walter's best friend and neighbor Dr. Arthur Harmon (Conrad Bain); and over the course of the series, three different maids (Esther Rolle, Hermione Baddeley and Marlene Warfield). Tough issues like abortion, alcoholism, women's liberation, menopause and politics are all fodder for the show's sharp wit and social commentary.

    Bea Arthur had such a dry sense of humor and her sarcasm and dry sense of humor made her great.

    This was one of the best shows on tv back then. Maud was before its time. The theme song was even the best. I have never forgotten the words to it. Bea Arthur...such a great actress. the cast was just the living end. I'm praying someone uploaded more eps of this one.
  • I think the reason we thought this was so hip is that NOBODY was talking about any of this stuff - hystos, blocked memory, black eyes, privacy. None of it.
  • Norman Lear owned prime time in the seventies, All in the family, Jefferson’s,Maude, One day at a time, Good Times etc
  • Only Maude would be arrogant enough to show up at a psychiatrist's office with no appointment.
  • @JohnSmith-fm1ht
    1970s TV, especially a show like Maude is a billion times better what passes for TV made in the 21st century.
  • @Sh4peofmyheart
    I miss these old sitcoms so much. Maude, All in the Family, The Jeffersons... My childhood was populated by Norman Lear's characters, and I miss them so much...
  • You know it's the 70's back when the color scheme for kitchens was diarrhea brown and mustard yellow. Also with a splash of sage green and funky orange.😁

    Bea Arthur was a brilliant actress.....❣️
  • Love me some Bea Arthur! Her sense of humor, the way she can just look at you, just makes you laugh.

    Just an observation as I was watching this, their acting style is pure theater. From the strong vocal projection to the staging, this feels like I’m watching a play intermixed with a few close ups to remind you of the actual medium. It makes me wonder if this was a concession to Bea’s background and a subtle way to make her more comfortable or if this a reflection of the creative team and the time when it was created.
