Member since: 3/10/2009 | | Maude | | Only the first season of "Maude" has been released and there has been no word as to the status of the rest of the series. With Bea Arthur's passing and the popularity of The Golden Girls I'm sure it would sell well. |

Member since: 5/12/2009 | | RE: Maude | | Ditto on wanting to see the rest of that released. From what I understand, Sony doesn't often license titles out but it does happen (My Two Dads being an example, I think?). |

Member since: 5/9/2008 | | RE: Maude | | Shout will be releasing "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" later this month, and this is a Sony property. Maybe with the recession, the big studios are looking for anyway to make a few more bucks by licensing out the shows they have no interest in releasing themselves. And I too would love to see Shout license out the rest of "Maude" since Sony is pretty clearly not interested in releasing any more seasons. |

Member since: 5/9/2008 | | RE: Maude | | Unfortunately, those pages don't really mean anything. It's just Amazon's way of getting your email address in their database, Sony doesn't have anything to do with it. In the case of "Maude", they've been there for months. Until you see an actual pre-order price listed, there's really nothing to get excited about. |

Member since: 6/22/2009 | | RE: Maude-- seasons 2 to 6 | | yes i agree that this recession has made the major studios only release the modern and big selling items [like sony,s bewitched and married with children] which are big sellers, so they might just be holding off untill things pick up in 2010, but since shout has being doing such a greta job, why not add this to your growing list of releases. |

Bea Arthur is truly one of the greats. It's about time that Norman Lear release ALL of "Maude" What are we waiting for? |

I don't have Comcast so I don't know if they're still running them. Every so often Maude would appear, disappear, then reappear again along with other shows. They also had the first two seasons of Bewitched a couple of years ago. Might be worth checking once in a while to see what pops up. |

Maude's facelift, Florida's exit, Arthur and Vivian's wedding... season 2 was chock full of good stuff! Kinda jonesing for it, gotta say.

Member since: 4/5/2010 | | RE: Maude | It's REALLY important that we, the fans of Maude, keep making noise about getting the rest of this great series on DVD. Maude wasn't just a witty and beautifully-crafted sitcom, it was a groundbreaker. And a wonderfully acted one, as well (the cast had incredible chemistry with each other). Bea Arthur especially was sublime! It's absolutely imperative that this entire series be preserved for posterity on DVD. |

Member since: 4/7/2010 | | RE: Maude | I love this show! Maude is one of my all-time favorites. I bought the first season when it was officially released because of my love for Bea Arthur and The Golden Girls, and settled for bootlegs of the entire series in summer of 2007 because they refused to release additional seasons. However, I will buy the official releases if they do release them. I much rather official releases than [shiite]ty bootlegs, but my love for Maude makes even bootlegs tolerable.
I was born in April of 1982, so this show does have appeal to people who didn't exist while it was in production. Come on, release all of Maude!! Maude was truly blessed with some of the most brilliant writing and acting in sitcom history. Maude's wisecracks are timeless! |

Member since: 2/24/2009 | | RE: Maude | So great to know that some of the younger people appreciate all the outstanding talent that went into this show. Shout, please try and take this one off of Sony's hands, like you did with Facts of Life. With the right marketing, Maude could be a real winner, better than anticipated. Perhaps something like "Before they were Golden" mentioning Bea and Rue pre-Dorothy and Blanche, etc. |

I figured MAUDE would sell well enough to get some more releases, bit also wasn't surprised to see no more releases from SONY so far. I would still finish the series if more were ever released. |

At this point, I'm at a loss as to what else any of us can do to get the rest of this terrific series on DVD. Sigh. |

Member since: 2/24/2009 | | RE: Maude | Maude cracked the Top 20 on Amazon back in March 2007 during its release week. Usually sales that good mean that a follow-up release is virtually guaranteed, based on other series with similar sales performance there.
It must have sold VERY poorly in stores to have Sony abandon it. I did see it very cheap in 2009 at my grocery store, Walmart etc. where they clear-out excess aged stock.
One Day... did even worse--it only got to #90 on Amazon. I would love to have ALL seasons of Maude and if nothing else, Season 2 of ODAAT, with the show's best character IMO--Ginny.
I really hope Sony gives these two '70s gems to Shout!, and soon. |

If SHOUT! licenses MAUDE for a second season I am willing to give the domain name to them. For free!
the address is of course http://www.MaudeOnDVD.com
Spread the word, the info posted there is useful to all interested to the series getting a second release!
COME ON SHOUT! What are you waiting for??? |

Member since: 7/8/2010 | | RE: Maude | | You know, the death of Bea created interest in the show, and the death of Rue has increased that interest. Go to TheMaudeShow on youtube.com. There are lots of classic episodes uploaded there. I could watch them for days (and have).
One of my FAVORITE later-season Maude's is probably one of the funniest I have ever seen. The episode is titled "Vivian's First Funeral," and I laughed so hard that I insisted that my friends at work watch it on YouTube with me. It is a true classic.
I am hopeful that Shout Factory will be successful in obtaining the rights just like they did for All in The Family.

I so want Maude season 2-6 on dvd. The show just got better with Rue McClanahan becoming a regular in season 2
and she and Bea were so good together on Maude. Maude has to be one of the best shows ever,most Norman Lears shows were groundbreaking! |

Sony should just release 2-6 in one box set and give fans what they want. |

I'm absolutely sick about this. TheMaudeShow's account on YouTube is "no longer." There's no explanation or anything about it. His (or her) YouTube channel was watched by so many people. Literally thousands have watch the episodes that he posted.
TheMaudeShow was even listed in WikiAnswers as the place to go if one wanted to watch Maude. |

They are showing Season 5 right now in chronological order. However they appear to be edited somewhat as episodes run just under 23mins. from opening theme to closing credits without commercials. My wife and I are enjoying it more now then we did as kids! Hope Shout! can release the remaining seasons in the near future? |
