- Louise Lasser, Mary Hartman herself, gives her thoughts on her character. You can buy the complete series of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman at: www.shoutfacto...
In the fictional town of Fernwood, Ohio, suburban housewife Mary Hartman seeks the kind of domestic perfection promised by Reader's Digest and TV commercials. Instead she finds herself suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune -- mass murders, low-flying airplanes and waxy yellow buildup on her kitchen floor. Mary's world is populated by a cast of misfits and oddballs: an impotent husband (Greg Mullavey), a sullen 12-year-old daughter (Claudia Lamb), bizarre parents (Dody Goodman and Philip Bruns), a man-eating younger sister (Debralee Scott), a country-singing best friend and her devoted husband (Mary Kay Place and Graham Jarvis), Fernwood's devious mayor (Dabney Coleman) and identical twins Barth and Garth Gimble (Martin Mull).

It's all about the pigtails.

I agree myself 2! & it brings b/ alot of grt memories!
Got mine, but promised I'd wait until Christmas to open it.... arrgh cant wait!
Greatest show ever
It really was! It was the best, funniest show ever on American television!
As a Teenager, LOL.. The Mary Hartman Show was my nightly fix!!! It was SUCH a great show?.
Had a crush on Mary, was only 16yrs old.
I had a crush on her also. I liked the way she looked and the way she had her hair. I was into partying when growing up and she seemed like a real party girl. I watched some of them Mary Hartman shows and they were pretty funny to me watching them. I also seen her on the one and last time on Saturday Night Live Show and boy she was like to whacked out on to many drugs. I thought maybe it was just a joke but it was really the way she was that day. She is one of the people band from SNL because of the way she acted doing the show. Will always love her thou.
She was a total hottie.
She wasn't banned, and it WAS acting. She read her scenes according to the script the writers wrote.
She got sexy lips
very great looking lady,love her til this day!
solar1959 : she looks better now that she did in ‘76...a bit of a neurotic Woody Allen type though...actually she was a wife of Woody’s I believe
BEST SHOW OF ALLLLLL TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Better than The Twilight Zone and The Carol Burnett Show ? Not even close!
I already have season 1, and they don't have season 2 and I don't want to buy the box set, as I already have season 1!
does anyone know the name of the episode where mary escapes her kidnapper and has this glorious monologue about OUR TOWN by Thornton Wilder?
Yes. This is Episode #19, January 29, 1976 starting at 3:50.
Episode 19.
She's beautiful!
I LOVE her teeth,
I want Mary Hartmans teeth! They are great!
I want ALL of her,had a crush on her in those cute dresses.
Nice choppers!
listeing to you ........i am here Loouise in this Country
So, this was a daily show? I read it had 325+ episodes over 2 seasons. Can someone explain how this show worked exactly?
Just like a soap opera I think. I heard sometimes they just improvised the conversations in the show rather than work off a script though.
NO fucking way! I will buy this!
MHMH was great!

Hi Aidan,
There’s another difference you might take note of between Mary & Louise, which is that Mary is a fictional character in a TV show, whereas Louise is an actress & a real person.
If you continue to watch interviews with actors you will some day learn this one amazing fact about actors: Sometimes they play characters that have different accents than their own! It’s incredible! I know this will surprise you, but believe it or not being able to learn and use different accents is actually a major part of acting!!!
There are in fact, now sit down first……. ok? Sitting? such things as accent and dialect coaches & teachers for actors! REALLY!
Louise, (the real person) is from New York, the character Mary (the not real person) is from Fernwood Ohio, a fictional town. However Ohio, unfortunately, is a real state, & in the real state of Ohio they have a weird accent or two, but amazingly a heavy NY accent is not one of them!
So to conclude, while Louise the wonderful & loveable actress/person has a different accent, her character Mary was supposed to be from THE worst state ever, so Louise broke out some ACTING SKILLS to fool YOU into thinking Mary was a zonked out Ohio (or OiHO as Buckeyes sometimes misspell it) housewife.
However, Louise was too good and fooled YOU into thinking SHE was from the nutty state!
listening to you we get the music
As a college freshman in 1976 this show had a cult following
she was very attractive
What an exquisite face!
I never got this show.
Had and still have a crush on her
One greatest show. A plus still think Greatest today all though years. Got enjoy classic hit shows I grow up watch on Channel 2 back old classic Tv not today it's cable just waste of money. Wish bring back real tv channel. Though out cable box. Why lots people can't afford it. Today.
Cigarettes absolutely destroyed her lovely voice. :(
Coke too 😞
I can't find how much Louise was paid per this show? Does anyone know? She did 325 shows 22 minutes each which is like The Golden Girls or other 30 min sitcoms but instead of once a week, she filmed five days or shows a week non live studio, no fake laughs. In an 8 year series there are about 178 episodes so this show in two years put out what a 12 year series might so Louise & rest of cast had no real life most of the year since filming constantly or in study so what were they paid?
I see one other had idea as me to do Mary Hartman. I'm a writer so perhaps knight44441 could work with me together on a project. If you would like to be in front of the film we could do that with you more the Star. I am former model, been to acting school so have experience in that business if interested in working as a team or anyone else here. It wouldn't pay us anything at first.
As for those wanting to get the DVD be careful with dates. 2007 released season one which is edited like the 25 episodes on youtube. 2013 December I believe came out with all episodes unedited with special features which I believe you could get on Walmart online or if you can find it less expensive elsewhere since runs about 115 bucks there but is the real thing in full.
I believe everyone should email hulu to get them to play both seasons even though ya have to sit through commercials there.
Thank you for that info about 2007 and 2013.
MHMH was a parody of the soap opera genre which were/are on 5 days a week. Not unusual to write, produce, act in 325 yearly episodes, more the norm. It’s still done now/today on daytime, 2023.
"Mary personified America"? She's a real comdian! 😂
I could never understand this show.
PLARFO PLURF PLURD!!!
Weird show...what was the point of it all.
Stupid show
