Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman: Volume 1 (1976) 3 x DVD9

In melding soap operas and sitcoms, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Vol. 1 is one of the more interesting shows to ever make it on TV.

Mary Hartman (Louise Lasser) is a typical suburban housewife of the seventies with her pigtails, buckteeth, and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" wardrobe. Like many housewives, she longs for something more in life. She wishes for a better sex life with husband Tom (Greg Mullavy), a closer relationship with her teenage daughter, Heather (who may be involved in the murders of the family down the street). And more than anything, she wishes she could get the waxy yellow build up off of her kitchen floor.

Mary's best friend, Loretta (Mary Kay Place) is on her way to becoming a country music superstar, especially now that she's got a real mass-murder to sing about. Her devoted husband, Charlie (Graham Jarvis), will do anything to make it happen.

Mary's extended family consists of a dotty mother (Dody Goodman); a long-suffering father (the most normal character in the whole show); a trampy, slacker sister (Debralee Scott); and a grandfather who likes to flash the elementary school lunch ladies.

Week after week, Mary deals with the problems and issues of modern life, from venereal diseases to infidelity, to mass murder and religious cults. It's just another typical day in the typical town of Fernwood, USA.
