Members yrfan1983 Posted February 5, 2021 Members Share Posted February 5, 2021 I only know Mary Hartman by its sterling reputation... sadly never seen it... why are y'all not reacting positively to this news?

Members DRW50 Posted February 5, 2021 Members Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'd say it's more because this is something that simply can't be remade. Even the original show burned out very quickly. There are many films and dramas about a housewife cracking up - they may as well try one of those. I also feel it's sad to see Louise Lasser's work deemed immaterial enough to be casually remade by some woman on a Pop sitcom. Norman Lear did a good revival of One Day at a Time (frankly, I'd say it was better than the original), but Mary Hartman is a different story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 5, 2021 Members Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I love Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman to death, but it's just a show that was a product of its era. It was a commentary on what was going on in that time and place, and I just don't see what's going on in today's world translating into a soap opera satire the same way. You just can't use today's "issues" the same way they used that time's "issues." So many of the characters from MHMH just don't exist in today's world. Also, the show was an incredibly slow-moving soap, which was something good and sometimes not-so-good. Nobody makes stuff like that anymore.

Members Soaplovers Posted February 5, 2021 Members Share Posted February 5, 2021 If this was a continuation of the original show...I could buy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted February 5, 2021 Members Share Posted February 5, 2021 Ironically, no Norman Lear-produced '70's sitcom speaks to our times MORE than the short-lived "All's Fair," which starred Richard Crenna, Bernadette Peters and a very young Michael Keaton; and ran during the 1976-77 season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
