'All in the Family' was followed up by many spin-offs and the first one that I remember was 'Maude' this one is based on Edith's sister or she was a cousin named Maude who lived in Pawtucket, a suburb of Connecticut, I think. Maude lived with her husband Walter and her daughter and grandson. They also had a housekeeper named Florida. Maude had next door neighbors who were played by Conrad Bain and Rue McClanahan were married and into the scene and will try anything that seem therapeutic for a marriage. 'Maude' was a person who was very outspoken on many issues of the time like abortion and drugs, and really anything that struck her fancy. 'Maude' also had a catchy theme 'And then came Maude' with a catchy melody if I remember right. Like 'All in the Family' 'Maude' was also very controversial.

    I loved Bea Arthur before her days as a Golden Girl. Maude was another great show though not as great as her forebearer, "All in the Family".
