- 001. Maude’s Problem (aka Maude and the Psychiatrist) – 9/12/1972
- Maude Findlay (Beatrice Arthur) is an outspoken liberal woman living with her fourth husband Walter (Bill Macy), a Maytag dealer, and her daughter from her second marriage, Carol Traynor (Adrienne Barbeau), and Carol’s son Phillip in Tuckahoe, New York. Maude has suspicions about where Carol has been going on Tuesday nights, especially when she finds out that Carol has been crying. Maude gets it out of her that she is seeing a psychiatrist, but Carol will not tell her why. An argument ensues and Carol tells her mother that she is moving out. Maude goes to see her doctor, Dr. Stern (William Redfield) – kicking out another patient (Helen Page Camp) to get the appointment. Dr. Stern refuses to discuss Carol, but Maude ends up telling him her life story which causes her to realize the resentments that she had against her overbearing mother. Maude returns home with more understanding of Carol’s feelings, and Maude gets her to tell her that she loves her. 8/17/15 Read the rest of this entry »
