There is a longer version of the closing theme which used to be on UA-cam (it still might be there but I cannot find it) where they show the very last scene where a guy at a bar says something like "Walter, I'll have another." The funk and keyboards are even more pronounced and amazing.
@MeinnameistDreck Some of the scenes were not filmed in the early 1970s, but in the sixties, originally to be used for the credits of "All In the Family" and other shows. By today's standards, the cars look antiquated. At the time, they were considered pretty classy.
Yes. You have to figure, if they were filmed in, say, 1968, a number of (then) ten-year-old cars, would have still been on the road, which explains a lot of the late ‘50s cars in the openings of these shows.
@HarveyRex23 There were also a couple of short lived spin-offs. The Jeffersons spun off "Checking In" starring Marla Gibbs (Florence). Archie Bunker's Place spun off "Gloria". This series was about her life as a divorced, single mother. Sally Struthers co-starred with Burgess Meredith of "Rocky" fame.
Yes I notice those cars as well. They are iconic! I don't know if they were owned by the homeowners or if they were owned by guests or visitors there. Nonetheless they have their iconic symbolism and I'm glad they were captured included in the closing
Maude was supposed to live in Tuckahoe, north of Manhattan in Westchester County. Why does the car go over the George Washington Bridge to New Jersey in the opening? They should have had the show take place in Teaneck. This is what happens when New York shows are produced in Hollywood. There were similar geographic errors in "Kojak" and "Ugly Betty."
In the opening sequence, there is also a Canary Island Date Palm visible on the left side of the house. Look for the arching palm fronds on the left side of the house when they show it.
@jnadle1 - other Lear shows that taped at Metromedia were "One Day at a Time" during the 1975-76 TV season. However, the 1st 3 episodes of that show taped at CBS-TV.
Good observation there, west bound over the GWB would be either Route 9W, or the Palasades Interstate Pkwy. I try to explain this to people but, You have to be from the area I guess !
I remember the variety shows of that period would start out "From Television City in Hollywood, California it's the Sonny and Cher show, or The Orlando and Dawn show! It wasn't actually Hollywood, it was Studio City, which is just north of Hollywood and right below North Hollywood, I grew up not far from there and my mother at least once a month would go and try to get on the Price is Right. My father used to take us to eat at Pup 'N Taco across the street while she sat in the studio audience, she did get called once and won a refrigerator, but never made it past the bidding part.
I always wondered, what seasons had the credit notice saying "Videotaped at Metromedia Square?" I've seen that on Good Times and The Jeffersons among other Norman Lear shows.
Based on what I’ve seen, it looks like 1975 is when the CBS Norman Lear shows moved from Television City to Metromedia Square. Even the first few episodes of “One Day At a Time” have the CBS Television City logo on their credits. I’m gonna take a stab in the dark and guess that maybe this episode had scenes recorded at both studios so they decided to drop the location on the credits.
That's an incredibly rude, a-hole thing to say. The person posts a rare video and you critique that he or she needs a tripod. What if that person can't afford it? If you're so great, buy it for the person. Jerk.
Maude was recorded on tape before a live audience! I love it!
Wow, back when credits actually "rolled"!
@HarveyRex23 And don't forget Good Times was a spin-off from Maude, too!
And Archie Bunker's Place is another spin-off from AITF, when Edith "died."
the closing music for maude changes in the 5th season, its not as funky and less keyboard riffs. they shouldve left it alone

What episode was that?
There's one ☝🏻on Dailymotion with a glimpse of the 1989 Columbia Television 📺 logo at the end of it.
It was from a Season 3 (1974-75) episode I think.
RIGHT ON, MAUDE! :)
Maude was recorded on tape before a live audience!
A Bud Yorkin Norman Lear Tandem Production in association with
Columbia TriStar Television A Subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment!
Maude was recorded on tape before a live audience!
Maude Starring Beatrice Arthur was recorded on tape before a live audience!
Bea Arthur, maybe the funniest of her era.
Recorded at CBS Television City Hollywood California

LOL! Look at all the junky 70's cars parked on the street...

Sanford and Son actually were? I guess we will never know. sigh

Someone needs to ask Santa for a tripod this Christmas.
