This brilliant spoof of soap operas aired five nights a week...
...and was one of Norman Lear's greatest television achievements.
Louise Lasser was the perfect choice to play trouble housewife Mary.
Too hot for network TV, Lear sold the show in syndication for two seasons...
...before the grind of producing it caused it to self-destruct.
