Product Description:
Emmy® Award-winner Beatrice Arthur stars in this beloved groundbreaking sitcom created by Norman Lear. Maude was first introduced as Edith Bunker's outspoken liberal cousin on the classic TV show 'All in the Family.' Her spinoff set in Tuckahoe New York focuses on Maude s daily adventures at home with fourth husband Walter (Bill Macy) divorced daughter Carol (Adrienne Barbeau) and Carol s son Phillip. Joining in on the fun is housekeeper Florida (Esther Rolle TV s Good Times ) and conservative next-door neighbor Arthur (Conrad Bain TV s 'Diff'rent Strokes'). Guest stars include Rue McClanahan (TV's 'The Golden Girls') John Amos (TV's 'Good Times') and Tom Bosley (TV's 'Happy Days'). Blessed with some of the best TV comedy writing ever along with controversial plotlines the show is just as hilarious and surprising today as it was when it debuted in the top ten in the early 1970s. Full of memorable one-liners including her famous warning 'God'll get you for that Walter!' MAUDE: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON is a treasure trove of laughs!System Requirements:Running Time: 460 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 043396136717 Manufacturer No: 13671

Lest anyone doubt that Maude was part of the great second golden age of TV sitcoms in the mid-'70s, the first season of the show will lay those doubts to rest. The inimitable Bea Arthur, who won an Emmy for the role, is the uber-feminist-realist at the center of a loving, slightly dysfunctional family in the Norman Lear series. Arthur, and Maude, are fearless in confronting issues of the day, from abortion and penalties for marijuana possession to the real heartbreak post-divorce. The supporting cast is first-rate, too, including Adrienne Barbeau as Maude's daughter, Carol, who's come home to nest after a traumatic divorce; Bill Macy as Maude's beleaguered fourth husband, Walter; and the beloved, fearless Esther Rolle as housekeeper Florida Evans. Despite the roiling issues and confrontation s in each episode, nothing rattles Maude, who became something of a role model for women trying to navigate through turbulent changing times. Sample dialogue: Maude: 'When he says wife, he means possession.' Walter: 'So what, Maude? You told me a hundred times you want to be possessed.' Maude: 'Walter Findlay, I never said that standing up and you know it.' Maude speaks her mind in all 20 episodes--and if you don't like it, God'll get you for that. --A.T. Hurley

Rating: - :( A great DVD that stopped at Season One
This 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 ... Read More
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.' ... Read More
Rating: - Maude - The Complete First Season
A great buy for getting a good taste of that era. I had forgotten how comedy has changed over the years. Its a good sampling to have as a collection or to rely on when theres nothing else to watch.
Rating: - bring on season two! AND THREE AND FOUR....
This is one of the rare shows that continued to get better and better as it went on. Of course Bea Arthur could read the phone book and be funny, but luckily, the writing here was top-rate. and it continued to get even better.
Rating: - Very funny show
Another first for a show of this kind. If you liked the Golden Girls you will for sure like Maude, she is the golden girl. I'm sure glad to see this out on DVD, now put it back on tv too.
