Sitcoms come and go. And then there's "Maude," the groundbreaking Norman Lear comedy. The show revolves around Maude Findlay, a very outspoken middle-class woman who wears her liberal politics on her sleeve and shares her home in suburban Tuckahoe, N.Y., with fourth husband Walter; her divorced daughter, Carol; and Carol's adolescent son, Phillip. Walter and Maude's best friends are next-door neighbors Dr. Arthur and Vivian Harmon. Among the domestic help that Maude helps "liberate" during the run of the show are Florida Evans and Mrs. Nell Naugatuck.

The program was a delight, as rich a comedic treat as Maude has ever given us in its long and valiant fight for the honor of womanhood, right or wrong. Go to Full Review Sander Vanocur Washington Post 06/27/2018
My guess is that "Maude" is now coming into its own as one of the best-written and best-acted comedy series on television. A great part of the credit for this is due Bea Arthur. Go to Full Review John Stanley San Francisco Chronicle 06/26/2018
4/4
[Norman] Lear's writing team kept the series in the top 10 for six seasons. Go to Full Review Chris Ball Cleveland Plain Dealer 11/21/2018
Arthur's other sitcom hit, The Golden Girls, has done better in syndication, probably because some of Maude's issues seem dated now, but it's still enjoyable for Arthur's caustic wit and deadpan delivery. Go to Full Review J.M. Suarez PopMatters 06/26/2018
8/10
The theme song lyrics above place her in storied company, and Maude lives up to the comparisons in her feminist ideals, establishing a groundbreaking character brought to life by one of Bea Arthur's best performances. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
