Sticks and stones may break my bones but, “Franklin Delano Roosevelt!”
She played the first woman star of a TV show to get an abortion. Death & progressivism through Norman Lear. I bet his folks were real proud./sarc
Thanks for letting us know. I’ve really enjoyed her humor over the years.

Are they just going to leave her where she died !!??
Cheers!
“Death & progressivism through Norman Lear.”
I liked her humor, but I agree on that point.
Thanks Diana. I grew up watching reruns of “Maude” and “All in the Family” with Bea Arthur and she was a gem. That’s when television was real television instead of the crap that’s on now.
Maude was arguably the worst, most depressing TV show in American history.
I’ve always liked M*A*S*H*, too. More good comedy amidst chaos. ;)
Sorry to disagree but MASH was leftist's propaganda at it's finest. The only truly patriotic character on the show was the cowardly and hypocritical Frank Burns. In the very early days of the show, the adulterer Burns even prominently displayed his Bible.
The characters of Hawkeye and BJ(?) were irreverent toward authority and treated military service as a joke (both for themselves and others). Infact the entire underlying theme of the show was anti-miltitary and had nothing to do with Korea but was really aimed at our military and the Vietnam War. That POS Gelbart admitted as much.
That is how the Hollywood Left insidiously injects its values in the American psyche, not by blunt force, but by wrapping an anti-American, anti-miltary message into a coating of sugar. Funny or not, MASH was poison.
I’m Retired Army. I’ll bet you a donut that I saw humor where a civilian couldn’t. :)
We can agree to disagree. No problem.
She exited "Golden Girls" in 1992???
Okay, I knew it went off the air a while ago ... but really.
Funny thing about "Maude", my wife borrowed the first season from the library some months back. I didn't hate it like I thought I would. (I can't watch All in the Family any more -- haven't been able to for years.) For one thing, the "libs" are somewhat tame by today's standards and they have the same sitcom foibles as any other sitcom character of the 70s. Maude doesn't always get her way. Sometimes her husband is right. Sometimes her neighbor, the Republican is right -- and sometime she acknowledges that. And the Republican is actually a human being, not a two-headed eeeeevil dragon. Yeah, it's still slanted Lear, er, left, but it's watchable.
To be honest I prefer the MASH with Trapper and Blake.. When BJ came on the show it went downhill..
I remember that episode about her promoting abortion! How sad.
The first TV show that I ever saw promoting abortion was the Mod Squad. On the show they had Shelly Winters as an abortionist woman who was giving illegal abortions. Ironically, later on in life, Shelley Winters told Phil Donahue that she had had several abortions and that now she was a very lonely woman because she did not have any children. Isn't life sad sometimes?
Agreed 100%. I suspect by that time they were starting to run out of plot ideas, too.
I never realized she was Archie Bunker’s wife....
Whoops...to my previous post...
That is true..
