Did you do one for Good times yet? I would love to see it, Thanks so I can compare it

I did do one for "Good Times" and you can find it at the Good Times message board. Here is the Link:

As I was looking over the production guide for both "Maude" and "All in the Family", I noticed an inconsistency. It was regarding when the episode "Maude's Dilemma" was taped on August 25, 1972. This was an episode where Rue McClanahan made her first appearance as Vivian Cavender. Well, it turns out that the "All in the Family" episode "The Bunkers and the Swingers" was taped that same day and it also featured McClanahan. (In the early seasons of the shows, both shows were taped on Friday nights)

So I checked out both of the script dates and I came to a conclusion: the "Maude's Dilemma" tape date is wrong. The script was written on 8/27/1972, which meant that BOTH PARTS could have been taped on September 01, 1972. The next one after that "Love and marriage" was written on 9/03/1972, with a tape date of September 08, 1972. So the two-parter date of Sept 01 would make more sense. So here is the new info! Sorry for the mistake! Corrections are in Bold

I think the dates for Season 2 may be a bit off. In particular, Maude Takes a Job, Florida's Affair and The Double Standard all have Bea Arthur post facelift. They most likely were taped after Maude's Facelift Part 1 at least.

according to a People magazine article on Bea Arthue from Nov 17, 1975:

For all of Maude's breakthroughs against network no-no's with episodes on abortion, birth control, pornography and pot, Bea herself is to the right of Ms. Findlay. "I think of myself as a liberal," she notes, "but I don't go out for political causes or circulate petitions." Bea did suggest one script on facelifts because she wanted one herself—"but when I went to a plastic surgeon, one of the biggies, he told me I wasn't ready, so I've had to wear lifts on the show ever since."

Great job HCH. What other shows have u done this for??
