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.

Arthur is survived by her sons, Mathew and Daniel, and two granddaughters, Kyra and Violet. No funeral services are planned.

Are they just going to leave her where she died !!??

Cheers!

Maude was arguably the worst, most depressing TV show in American history.

Just posted this on the later thread:

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.

I never realized she was Archie Bunker’s wife....
