		Anyway, all the characters in the show were hysterically funny,(the guy drowning in the chicken soup was sooo funny-didn't Mary say that she killed him with her chicken soup?) Mary's sister was annoying, but necessary.
		MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN was a highly amusing spoof of daytime dramas that was a welcome change from the usual late night, after the news TV fare.
		Greg Mullavey as her husband Tom, Graham Jarvis and Mary Kay Place as the Haggars, Dody Goodman, Debralee Scott, Phil Bruns, etc. This show wasn't for every taste and I believe it was probably better appareciated by people who watch soap operas and I enjoyed its brief run on late night.

	Slant Magazine - DVD Review: Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman: Volume 1
		MHMH was a daily mock soap starring Woody Allen's then-wife Louise Lasser as the title character (whose name is always said twice because, so the show's creators noted, everybody says everything twice in soap operas).
		Mary Hartman goes through her life as a housewife in Fernwood, Ohio as though she just received a great, walloping donkey punch the night before.
		Dallesandro's idea of a straight man was more like a social flatline, and Lasser's Mary Hartman floats through her daily trials and tribulations either slack-jawed or with a vacuous death-grin affixed to her pigtail-flanked face, like Edith Bunker on Quaaludes.

		Victor Kilian as Mary's grandfather, Raymond Larkin, the "Fernwood Flasher''

		The saga begins with Mary agonizing over her floor's waxy yellow buildup when neighbor Loretta Haggers (Emmy winner Mary Kay Place) bursts in to announce that a mass murderer is on the loose in Fernwood.
		At first glance, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman resembles a daytime soap with consecutive airings (five nights a week), frame-filling close-ups, and syrupy score, but everything is off-kilter.
		When Mary isn't looking at other characters as if they're speaking in tongues, she appears to be on the verge of laughter or tears--maybe both at once.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
		A real novelty and pacesetter in the annals of US television, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was a daily afternoon pastiche of daily afternoon soap operas, high on comedy, but decidedly dark with it, a fl comedy in the original sense of the word.
		The heroine herself, Mary Hartman (played by Louise Lasser, former wife of Woody Allen), was a youthful 34-year-old housewife addicted to - and an absolute believer in - TV commercials.
		MHMH came to end in the summer of 1977, the pressure of producing five episodes every week having proved too great.

		MH,MH was a soap opera that was meant to be watched every night, Monday through Friday.
		Watching only one episode per week would give a new viewer the impression that the pace of the show was incredibly slow, that the plotlines took forever to unfold and that the characters weren't developing at all.
		As for episode summaries, I think that there is a file in the Yahoo groups for the MHMH mailing list that has ep summaries.

		Fernwood housefrau Mary Hartman (Louise Lasser) was a lowbrow consumer cultist who fretted endlessly about "waxy yellow buildup" and dealt with her dysfunctional family in the heartland of a largely dysfunctional America.
		In the course of the 325 episodes, Mary's grandfather was unmasked as the "Fernwood Flasher"; aspiring C&W singer Loretta Haggers was paralyzed; Mary's father fell into a vat of chemicals and, following plastic surgery, became Tab Hunter; and eight-year-old evangelist Jimmy Joe Jeeter was electrocuted when a TV fell into his bathtub.
		In addition, series star Louis Lasser began to manifest some bizarre behavior leading to several highly publicized incidents that just about destroyed her career, thereby lessening the likelihood that licensed items would be produced at all.

	Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman Summary
		Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (sometimes abbreviated as MH2) was a 1976- 1978 syndicated prime-time soap opera parody produced by Norman Lear and directed by Joan Darling.
		[On] "Mary Hartman"—the material is there, just as life is there; the writers respond to the absurdities they perceive around them; the actors either identify with the writers' impulses or substitute their own….
		It doesn't broadly parody soap operas, and it isn't the sort of flamboyantly "controversial" sit-com that one has come to expect from Norman Lear; which is to say that "Mary Hartman" doesn't signal its comedy in any of the usual ways….
