The Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman Challenge!
8Norman Lear’s satirical soap opera Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman premiered in syndication on January 5, 1976. There are 325 episodes, a sequel/continuation titled Fernwood Forever, and two seasons of summer replacement Fernwood 2 Nite and America 2 Nite. I’m going to try to watch the whole thing in order on as close to the original airing dates as possible, if possible. It’s going to take a year and a half. I’m excited.
Here’s the first episode:
It’s a little terrifying!

Are they all on YouTube? I may join you!
@sammydog01 I’m not sure! A google search said it’s available on Sony’s YouTube channel, but I couldn’t find it using my phone. I have the series boxed set, but I can’t remember if it has Forever Fernwood and it definitely doesn’t have Fernwood 2 Nite. I hope it’s all on YouTube, because a group watch would be super fun!
“What kind of a madman would shoot two goats and eight chickens?”

@Pavlov Here’s the image you requested for “a madman shooting two goats and eight chickens”
@mediocrebot @Pavlov Geez. I preferred it when the bot rejected violence.
@Kyeh @mediocrebot @Pavlov It looks like that particular madman is protecting the sheep and goats who are under attack.
@mediocrebot @mossygreen @Pavlov
It does, I guess. I’m still shocked at the gore.
@Kyeh @mossygreen @Pavlov I wouldn’t give the bot too much credit for using correct perspective. And, on a side note, it looks like David Arquette really let himself go!
@ircon96 @Kyeh @mossygreen @Pavlov I thought Mad Max (Mel Gibson) when I first saw the image.
Looks like the hen in the middle ducked at the right time.

… Yeah, that poor girl is like, What the cluck…?!

@phendrick Here’s the image you requested for “a kitchen floor with a yellow waxy buildup.”
@mediocrebot that buildup was a letdown
Episode 2 from the same youtube account:
“I got a mother and a father and a chicken and a goat, and I’m a riding the train to heaven.”
