[edit] Disambiguation

This seems like an odd pick for the automatic direction to Maude. Why not have a disambiguation page? Considering the number of figures of this name in history, this would seem justified.

I've upgraded the pictures I previously uploaded. Mike H 20:48, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] DVD release

"Maude is currently under consideration for a DVD release."

Does anyone have any proof or a link for this assertion? I am happy to believe it but would love more information. Thanks. Moncrief 21:26, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Since no one seems to have any specific information about this, and it's not clear who is considering it, and under what timeline, I'm going to remove it from the article. If you can site a source or give a bit more information, please re-include. Moncrief 18:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I do know that Amazon.com had something suggesting that a DVD of "Maude" was forthcoming. It wasn't clear to me, however, if this was actually in the pipeline, or whether they were collecting votes for it as a matter of interest. It's certainly long overdue for a DVD - and it doesn't have many of the issues that some newer shows have had re: music licensing (ie, the fact that Designing Women's DVD was held up due to music licensing - all the songs that were played on the show, etc.) NickBurns 17:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Duh, I say as I look farther down on this page...looks like we do have more recent news.....NickBurns 17:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] French adaption

The French adapted "Maude" into a popular sitcom called "Maguy" which ran from 1985 to 1991 on the French TV channel Antenne 2 (now called France 2).

The wiki link is http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maguy

It's very scary: Maguy is in her 50s, 3x married, husband runs hardware store, friend's a doctor, daughter called Caroline, and likeable housekeeper.

The French page acknowleges "Maude" - could this page link something to "Maguy"?

[edit] Requested moves

Maude (disambiguation)Maude
MaudeMaude (television series) Maude (TV series)

There are several alternative titles that a user might expect when looking for "Maude"; defaulting to a former American television series might satisfy the principle of least surprise for an American audience of a particular generation, but not a modern global audience. An related move of Maude → Maude (television series) would be needed, but this can be done without administrator input given consensus for the move to take place.

[edit] Good Times Spin Off

The idea that Good Times is not a spin-off of Maude is innacurate. No matter what it is based on, if the character from one show leaves to found a new show, that is the definition of "spin-off" I've deleted the pertainant line. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.57.3.94 (talk) 05:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Abortion

This article states Maude was 'the last TV character to have an abortion'. This can't be true. Didn't both Samantha and Carrie have abortions in Sex and the City, to name but one show? Smurfmeister (talk) 15:55, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
