Maude or Gloria?-Which was the WORST All In the Family Spinoff?

[TVFactFan]

I say Maude, finally had a chance to watch a lot of Maude in the past 2 years and it's just not a show you can watch over and over again. I think Gloria was the more watchble spinoff

[Janice]

You like Gloria better than Maude? How long was Gloria on for? I never saw one episode, but I've seen a lot of Maude...so I really can't say. I'm just surprised that you would think that.

[gilligan fanatic]

I have only seen one of each and Gloria stunk. Maude was at least funny.

Well Both shows were Bad but the Worst to me was Maude. Gloria lasted ONE season. Gloria was cancelled after it's first season after it was ranked #18. Doesn't sound like cancellation numbers to me-lol

[Brian Damage]

Gloria was just flat out bad and would've gotten only worse if it had stayed on the air.

[Stuck In The '70's]

I liked both shows. I think Gloria was pretty good and both it and ABP was treated badly by CBS. As for which is worst I'll go with Gloria because Maude was a better made show and lasted longer. I just wish it would come out on DVD. It was great watching it on Comcast.

Well it did have afan base since it was a Top 20 show after it's First season

It definitely had a built in audience, but as for longevity, Sally Struthers wasn't leading lady material.

GLORIA

[comedyfreak]

I haven't seen Gloria since its debut, so I can't really say. I am a fan of Maude and I thought her show was funny. The only thing on Gloria I remember is her interview, the interviewer asked if she had experience cleaning up after animals and she said. "I cleaned up after Michael for 12 years".

[Moonlight Lady]

Gloria, I never liked that character.

[Mikado]

Gloria was aterrible show, thankfully cancelled after just one season,Maude on the other hand was a classic...the Liberal version of AITF ...but hey, Solomon moves to the beat of a different drum, thats cool ;)

It couldn't have been that terrible if it was in the Top 20 after it's first season.

[Justwondering]

Maude had lots of potential when it was first spun off. If you don't believe me, take a look at the AITF episode entitled "Cousin Maude's Visit."

Bea Arthur was given some great lines in response to her nemesis, Archie. Her performance made Norman Lear believe the character of Maude could stand alone.

"Maude" the spin-off was never as humorous as was her AITF appearance, likely for two reasons: She needed Archie as her comic foil; and more importantly, the AITF writers did NOT write for the Maude series. New writers were hired and they never achieved the great writing of the AITF staff.

Man solomon, you have some terrible taste when it comes to television shows. I swear to God.

of course Maude was the best overall and GLORIA was just S**T. How can you compare a great running show to a show that was just full of crap???? that's like comparing a steak to a hamburger.

For some reason the Gloria eps held my attention a lot more than when I watched Maude. Like I said before, Maude is not a show you can watch over and over, JUST ONCE-lol

it's your opinion, of course, but obviously Maude was the better show. it was a hit...Gloria wasn't. another example of a good character but not able to carry a sitcom.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I liked both Maude and Glorias they were both very Funnie show's

[Mrs. Periwinkle]

Never saw "Gloria," but I wasn't crazy about "Maude." I always liked the character of Gloria-- I thought she was funnier than Mike (other than the Archie/Mike feuds, of course)--but I'm not sure how I would have liked the spin-off. I hope they release it on DVD, though, as I think it'd be interesting to see..

Maude really took a nose dive after Florida the Maid left to do a new comedy

[Wawwie]

Goria stunk. Maude was at least funny.
I agree. I like Bea Arthur.

[TVFactFan]

I agree. I like Bea Arthur.


If I had money left for ONE DVD and had to choose between Gloria and Maude, I would be buying Gloria in a second. And that's mainly because the 4 eps I seen was watchable

You Love Maude but not Three' s Company and the Jeffersons. Can't figure it out-lol

I like The Jeffersons

I just don't care for Three's Company, every plot is the same on that show. Someone over hears a conversation and interpret it in the wrong way.
