Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A spin-off of the hit sitcom All in The Family created by Norman Lear, the title character, Maude Findlay, was originally written as Archie Bunker's foil: female, liberal, new age, free-thinking, and yet every bit as domineering and pushy. Though the show was overtly political, it didn't suffer from the problems with strawmen that plagues so many other "hot button" shows. While Maude's political views were usually cast in a positive light -- helping the needy, racial sensitivity, women's liberation -- the greatest handicap to the character was her personality: she was too forceful, stubborn, ego-driven, and often out of touch with the very issues she claimed expertise of. Thus the show wasn't necessarily a Take That at left-wing beliefs the way All in The Family was for Archie's stubborn traditionalism, but more a character-driven sitcom that simply had politics at its surface. |
