Norman Lear's soap opera, broadcast five days a week in the 1970's starring Woody Allen's ex-wife, Louise Lasser in the title role.
It wasn't available anywhere on streaming video, so I bought it on DVD on eBay. It was only on for two seasons but there were 325 episodes. They filmed an episode a day so they were working fast and it showed. Still, each episode went by fast. It was easy viewing.
I watched it off and on when it was first broadcast. The only things I really remember were one where a child evangelist is taking a bath. A TV set is suspended over the bathtub so he'll have something to watch with predictable results and there was Mary Hartman's appearance on the David Suskind show.
So far, I've only watched a few episodes. Mary's grandfather is arrested as the Fernwood Flasher, an entire neighbor family is murdered, her young daughter is being stalked, apparently by the killer, her other neighbor is trying to become a country music star, and her husband has lost interest in her. And her kitchen floor has developed waxy yellow build-up.
