I've watched Maude now & then years ago. Thought I'd try watching the whole series. I only lasted 8 episodes. Bea Arthur's Maude is so vile, the show is only watchable in small doses. Maude has no depth. All shouting, tantrums, and dominating screen time. Archie Bunker at least has some good qualities. Shame Adrienne Barbeau wasn't highlighted more. I think Norman Lear went too far making Maude unlikable.
