Nixon 6, McGovern 4.

Warning: Spoilers
It's election day 1972 (airing a few days before the real election day) and Maude, Walter, Arthur and Carol recall how Maude and Walter fell in love. It was the very first moment that Walter declared. "Maude, sit!" to which she replies after, "I sat!" That very moment has her furious over realizing this means that she loves him, something that really scares her.

A fun trip down memory lane shows why of her marriages, the one with Walter was the one meant to last. The cast gets to youthen with Adrienne Barbeau having a much better hairstyle than the one she had in the other episodes of season one. The guest appearance by Van Johnson seems unnecessary as he's too big of a star to have had such a pointless cameo. Conrad Bain gets a lot of laughs for his pompous conservative politics.

Maude And Walter Recall Their Dating Days
Jimmy_the_Gent428 April 2019
While Maude and Walter watch the 1972 Presidential election returns, they reminisce about the days they first dated during the 1968 Presidential election.

An OK episode, Beatrice Arthur has her hair darkened and Bill Macy has a hairpiece to look 4 years younger in the flashback sequences. We find out that Arthur is the one who introduced them. We first see them in flashback arguing over the 1968 election, Maude is a staunch Humphrey supporter and Walter doesn't want to vote. Arthur comes over and drives Maude crazy with his support of Nixon. Walter suddenly realizes that he wants to marry Maude, but she suggests they just live together. They break up over this, and Maude goes on a date with a boring storm door salesman (played by former movie star Van Johnson). Maude and Walter come to an understanding and they decide to get married.

Maude, the desire of Walter & Mr Windows
vitoscotti27 September 2021
Maude's long attire is quite unique. She keeps her whole body neck down constantly covered. How can she get the courage to wear a bedtime nightgown and abandon her outfits? This episode is an improvement over the privious 2. We get to see a 1968 Carol with a different hair style. There are very few scenes so far without Maude.
