  • Check out this clip from Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Everything is not okay in the Hartman household. You can buy the complete series of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman at: www.shoutfactory.com/product/...
    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).

      The show always blended the mundane with the tragic -- like when the coach drowned in a bowl of Mary's chicken soup. (He had the flu and took a lot of pills to ease the symptoms.) Naturally they held his funeral in Mary's kitchen.

    I used to watch this at night as a young child, when I couldn't sleep. It was on channel 44 in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was almost. 12 yrs old. I didn't understand a lot about it, then a few years later, we had reruns and Fernwood Tonight. Then the satire made sense.

      There was an episode in which Tom and Mary's 12-year-old daughter Heather gets a joint at school and brings it home hidden in her purse. Her parents find it discuss how best to advise her of the evils of marijuana, but instead they smoke the joint themselves and go to the healing service Loretta is attending hoping that faith healer Dorelda Doremus (played by Doris Roberts) can help her walk again. The healing fails and Mary chews out Dorelda. The Hartmans get home stoned and Heather preaches to them that she already knew better than to smoke pot. Mary often offered to pay Heather bribes to keep quiet about things she heard in the house.

      Carol Burnett did a skit on her show of Mary Hartman -- Carol was Mary and I think she crawled out from under a sink. I can't remember the "real" Mary Hartman come out from under a sink. I do remember someone drowning in a bowl of soup, the mass murders next door, the car crash with the nuns, etc. I was only around 14 or so when the show was on, but I used to stay up and watch it. It was hilarious.

      @@bcdave91 Mary actually did hide under the kitchen sink once when she was overwhelmed with problems. It had been her favorite childhood hiding place, so her mother easily found her there. I love some of Mary's lines in the show. When she finally falls for Dennis, she feels guilty and says, "May I be struck by anything that falls!" Sometimes she would answer the phone with "Is this going to be good news or bad news?"

      I loved the typecasting of this show.
      I remember, then 20 years old, the midseventies as a period of a collective selftherapy, like a society with the Asperger Syndrom
      Mary Hartman was the flowerpowerkid of the 60s trying to figur out what it's all about and asks the right, but for 'normal' adults very awkward, questions.
      Tom was the typical regular guy but couldn't talk about his issues.
      He had lost his appetite for sex/ intimacy with Mary and thought things would become ok again by just not talking about it.
      The dialogues were so fascinating almost surreal and often was proved that the so-called normality was ridiculous or flatout hilarious.
      Every character in the show i my eyes was movingly tragic.
      The best soap of the 70s!
