How did Forever Fernwood "end"? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GeeBee · 06-22-2003, 10:24 PM

Does anyone remember what the last episode of Forever Fernwood was and what was going on? Like SOAP, I believe that Forever Fernwood ended on a bunch of unresolved cliffhangers. If memory serves me correctly, Loretta was pregnant with Tom's baby through artificial insemination. Tom was living with Annabel, a lunatic lady posing as Mary. Eleanor was about to marry the now divorced mayor. And George was once again missing. I don't believe these plots were ever resolved. Anyone remember exactly?

...WNEW-TV, Channel 5 in New York, pulled the show off the air about a month before it officially ended in March 1978. I know Philadelphia saw the ending...at the time, I had saved some Philly TV GUIDES with the plot synopses in the listings, but my mother eventually threw them out.

Message to Shout Factory, please release Forever Fernwood complete series on DVD, as a follow up to the Mary Hartman complete series DVD. This would allow fans to re-visit Forever Fernwood and see how everything wrapped up.

Not sure if this memory is from the Mary Hartman Marry Hartman series or from Forever Fernwood (or from that twilight zone area of my mind) but it seems there was a scene which shows Sgt. Foley and Mary Hartman living together. Sad to say, Sgt. Foley has ended up being just as bored with Mary as her former husband, Tom was.

Meanwhile Mary is mopping the kitchen floor and still wondering about the waxy yellow buildup.

Your memory is from Mary Hartman's series finale, episode #325.

I don't remember how Forever Fernwood ends, but the person who began this thread might have the ending close to correct.

I'm still hoping Shout Factory will eventually release Forever Fernwood complete series on DVD. It needs to be released so fans of Mary Hartman can see this interesting follow-up series. Overall, Forever Fernwood has pretty good writing, comparable to the first 130 episodes of Mary Hartman.

I really, really, really need to see Forever Fernwood. I just finished up my MH2 dvd's.

I agree, I would also like to have the complete series of Forever Fernwood on DVD but Shout Factory doesn't seem interested to release it.

Agree. I tweeted to Shout Factory about Forever Fernwood and was surprised to see Claudia Lamb (she played Heather) responded to my tweet. Crazy. Check out my Bitchute channel Getaway Toys to see all the Mary Hartman highlights

I watched the episode and I agree it leaves you wanting more. Such a travesty that Shout Factory hasn't released this series on DVD, it should have been done automatically soon after the Mary Hartman series was released. I'm still trying to hold out some hope but at this point it seems very unlikely.

It should have been included w/ the dvd set! OR separate, since I already saw the MH2 dvd. ONLY the first FF ep is on youtube! WHY not the whole thing??? & I would have been able to see it if some #*$&(#&$ (AHEM Travis who was banned thank goodness) gave me the disks & not ripped me off!!! His other email is snuffyandoscar@gmail.com
