One 70's Sitcom that I think would not sale very well if released on DVD because - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 05-29-2004, 11:50 PM

It's rarely seen in syndication

The board on sitcomsonline is never active

I don't think it would be a interest of individuals under 30

This sitcom is..........................MAUDE

I would buy the show but a lot of people don't know about the show or some is just not interested

Also, Is Maude being shown in anyone's local area? Last time it was shown in phila was 1989

Mr. Television · 05-29-2004, 11:54 PM

I never understood why Maude didn't do well in syndication when all of Norman Lears other shows did well. I guest it was to topical but then again so was All In The Family.

If season 1 was available on DVD, I would probably buy it. I've never seen it, but I plan to watch the pilot on the All in the Family season 2 dvd.

If you enjoy All in the Family, then I guarantee that you will enjoy Maude

I do know this. The woman who plays the daughter on that show, Adrienne Barbeau, is hot. I saw her on Jimmy Kimmel a while ago and she's still hot.

She was great as "Carol" on Maude; she is an excellent actress...

That's my point, a lot of people in your area who was not around in the 70's never seen Maude and wouldn't feel the need to buy it on DVD because they know nothing about it.

She's guest starred as Oswalds mother on The Drew Carey Show. She still looks great.

wouldn't the fact that Maude is so underplayed actually boost it's DVD sales? I mean, as opposed to a show that airs 4-6 times a day
