Does anyone else remember her? Louise Lasser in those puffed-sleeve dresses and long braids? Mary Kay Place as her country-music singing neighbor with enormous hair?

Or did I dream it? Why now?
 
may you burn in hell for bringing this memory back.

Of all the things I've done that could land me in Satan's FryBaby, you condemn me for remembering Mary Hartman?

Mary Hartman?

Shereads: I'm not mad. The memory of Mary Kay Place in a negligee is a nice one.

She's on my list of "Women I'd wish I'd met"--intelligent, talented, spirited and sexy too.

Vella - I worry about your taste in women. :D

"Remember, 'i' always comes before 'u.'"

Hey a few years ago, some cable station was showing MHMH around 3 AM central time. This was great cuz I have chronic insomnia and I got to see alot of the episodes I missed.

That show was kick ass.

My parents used to watch the show almost religiously, but I was much too young to catch it more than a few times. I do recall laughing, oddly enough and I remember she dated Woody Allen.

Why now, you ask? Perhaps your in some strange soap opera -like place where sexual perversion is more like a comedy than a turn on? Either that or you're in Ohio. :D

No, that's not it.

Everything "Woody" was ripped from the human consciensness after he boinked his daughter and the nasty, public divorce from Mia Farrow.
Not quite everything. Woody himself, for example. I didn't want to laugh at "Bullets Over Broadway" but I couldn't help it.

Reminds me of a prison interview I saw once where, in an awkward moment, the reporter suddenly realized he was laughing at Charles Manson's jokes.



Oops.
 
Frankly, I thank you for the memory, Shereads. I loved the show. Loved Mary Kay Place ever after, and Martin Mull. Wasn't he a 'bad guy'? Despite the 'soap' setup, the series had a feminist tone for the times, making great fun of stereotypical MCP role models (I recall an evil boss type).

BTW, Lasser appeared in early Allen films and had bit parts in later works.

Martin Mull was also in the spin off, "Fernwood2Nite" and the later America2Nite. Hilarious sendup of talk shows.
Please stop, I can't take any more nostalgia, it's too early in the new year for me. ;)
