@@MarkkuPilarinen “Polly, want a cracker?” is a well known saying. I don’t know the origin, something to do with offering food to a parrot, I think. Over time it became something one might jokingly say especially if they were talking about or near a parrot. The guest’s name is Polly, and the daughter was going around offering guests crackers, so when she got to Polly and offered her a cracker, and said “Polly, want a cracker”, it was funny because the saying is something of a joke. That’s why her mother threw the coat at her.
I absolutely loved that wonderful lady that played Aunt Pauly. She was a hoot! I loved her character Mother Dexter on Phyllis. That was a spin-off from Mary Tyler Moore with Cloris Leachman.
@@tanyalake4957 if you are suggesting rascism you can forget it because I loved Florida. I just think Hermione with her facial expressions and line delivery was more of a laugh riot!!
In an interview right before she died, Bea Arthur was asked how Maude and Dorothy (from "The Golden Girls") would get along. Bea replied that while they could wear the same clothes, Dorothy would tell Maude to calm down a little bit. Don't get so worked up.
I was a junior in high school in 1974. I remembered the show. It's interesting to see again after all these years. Bea was such an incredible actress. I remember her in Auntie Mame!
Thank you so much for posting this episode @TheRet'Network. This is one of my favorite Maude episode. To be honest I loved all of Maude episodes. I have great memories watching this show with my Mother. 💜
Judith Lowry (Aunt Polly) also appeared in an episode of a children's Saturday morning American history tv series during the Bicentennial in 1976. The episode was about Sybil Ludington, the 16 yr old daughter of an American Revolutionary War Colonel who rode 40 miles through the Connecticut countryside warning colonists of approaching British soldiers. Judith, wearing Colonial garb, was sitting in her house window when she received the warning and encouraged Sybil by shouting encouragement to her as she rode past. Judith also appears in another "Maude" episode (The Election) as "Judith."
Gad! I loved 1974! I just looked up Judith Rawly, Aunt Polly (and Mother Dexter on Phyllis). Her husband served in WWI and they had 6 sons and 3 daughters. Her sons all served too. Wow!
I like the other maid much better. this maid and Maude are far too much alike. the actress would have been a much better fit for Maudes's sister or smthg like that
If anyone wants to see more of "Aunt Polly" watch Judith Lowry as "Sister Prudence" in the movie "The Trouble With Angels" with Rosalind Russell & Hayley Mills.
Jeffrey Hathaway Lowry was a true original, all right. Try and catch the Mary Tyler Moore spin-off series “Phyllis”-Lowry is unforgettable as ‘Mother Dexter’.
The date in a show doesn't necessarily have to live up exactly with a holiday. It happens all the time that a showb airs a week before the actual holiday.
Great episode. But I was curious about one of the female party guests. (10:25 she is sitting down in the background of this segment) I just noticed there is also another female party guests back there too, but I am referring to the blonde one at 11:00. Here she kind of resembles an older Dale Evans Rogers. The IMDB actual character list for this episode accounts for all of the main characters except for the party ‘guests’ with no speaking lines. But the only ‘Party Guests’ listed in the credits under “uncredited,” are the names of three men who are all fairly old. The question I have is: WHO is the older lady in the background with one of the uncredited party guests? This woman looks very, VERY familiar and I’d love to know if she was a famous actress from earlier days of film. PS: The only characters in this episode who are still alive as of July, 2023, are Adrienne Barbeau (the daughter), Brian Morrison (the grandson), and Mitzi McCall, the fighting wife who arrives later with her husband and old aunt.
Back when television production wasn't lazy, and they did BOTH a Christmas episode AND a New Year's Eve episode..... in today's time you MIGHT get a Thanksgiving episode, and then they're in hiatus for 10 weeks.
Its a shame Hermione didnt last a few more years at least, she wouldve been a great sparing partner for Estelle...sophia having a british friend, or the girls maid.
@@markwhitman9029 im saying she died a few years after this, meaning she wasnt around for all the great shows to come. I was making a remark that she wouldve been a great acting partner for the girls, im sorry you misunderstood my statement i hope i clarified.

Maude , Dorothy or whatever other name she has gone by for the characters she has played , she'll always be one of my favorite female comedians .
Me too be awful with my favorite on Maude I am one of my favorite on The Golden girls
She was in a series (almost Golden Palace) and her name was Amanda.
She's most definitely NOT an Amanda.
Bea Arthur...
On Broadway she played Vera and Yenta!
Mrs. Nagatuck rocks! She’s always hilarious 😂
Agreed! Thanks for commenting!
“Polly, want a cracker?” The way Bea throws the coat at her. 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Doubt Bea knew the line was coming.
What does that mean? I didn’t understand it. (English is my 2nd language)

And here we are, a few months away from Christmas of 2024. 50 years from this episode. Time does fly. 😟.

Time flys by
Thank god for being able to rewatch these gems. Technology really is great ❤
I'm a young old lady and the songs said it best and then there's MAUDE
Polly, want a cracker? The timing was perfect. Hats off to the writers and delivery.
One of my favvsssss
That has to be one of the most hilarious moments in tv history!! Comedy perfection!!
Best part was Maude throwing the coat at carol after she asked it.
@@dwnl3493 I am not a native speaker and I did not get, what was that means?
I loved the look on Maude's face with that, too, right as she threw the coat at Carol.
I am watching this Gem, and it is December 3rd, 2023! Early Happy New Year to everyone.
This was one of the BEST and FUNNIEST shows of the 70s!!! Bea Arthur will remain a legend for her performances!!
Everyday we getting closer to the new year 🥳🥳 it's a beautiful thing when you live to see another year.
Very well said.
I agree sooo much
Maude & Aunt Polly: a preview of Dorothy & Sophia in a few years!
❤Rue and Bea❤
Man!, I wish they were still making gold. TV needs it!
Donny Hathaway in the theme song. Brilliant
Aunt Polly was a RIOT!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Polly? Want a cracker? 🤣
And then there was Bea. Her face spoke volumes. One of a kind.
For sure! But I always wondered if she ever had any work done between Maude and the Golden Girls.
@@mj6962 Yes, I was wondering that too. When you see her here, she looks older, in some respects, than she does in TGG, very odd.
@Lina Zavala Ohhh. Ok! well thanks for the info!
What a sweet elderly woman. Also,.. R.I.P. Beatrice! 😇
So funny and a great cast ensemble!
Most of the cast have passed away except for Adrienne barbeau, who played Maude's daughter, Carol. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Wonderful show. Bea Arthur nailed ‘Maude’. I loved 1974 and 1975
Me too
I was only five
@@KQuinn672 I was 9 /10
I wasn't even born yet. 😁 Not until '76
Omg hysterical falling on floor when she goes to Hattie's funeral and opens coffin. Bea should have won Emmy right then and there
Aunt Polly totally hilarious!
2023 is here! Happy New Year, everyone!
I absolutely loved that wonderful lady that played Aunt Pauly. She was a hoot!
I loved her character Mother Dexter on Phyllis. That was a spin-off from Mary Tyler Moore with Cloris Leachman.
Didn’t she die shortly after Phyllis began? A few of the cast members did.
Yes mother Dexter on Phyllis. She was a laugh riot
Judith Lowry appeared in both seasons of Phyllis. She passed away halfway through the second season
One of the actresses from “Phyllis” was murdered. It was during the first season. She and a friend were shot and their killers were never found.
Mrs Naugatuck was a great addition to the show
IMO brilliantly funny and better than Florida
@@markwhitman9029 Absolutely
I luv her too
@@markwhitman9029 - I "wonder" why. 🙄
@@tanyalake4957 if you are suggesting rascism you can forget it because I loved Florida. I just think Hermione with her facial expressions and line delivery was more of a laugh riot!!
The syncing was annoying but I put up with it to watch this gem of an episode from a gem of a TV series.
Damn!! Bea with the body-ody!!
Sexy

Brilliant! Simply brilliant!
Wow in 75 my mom graduated highschool. Then new year's eve night 🎉 of 84 had me. Wow time flies 😮😮😮
2 of the Golden Girls together.
"Oh THE HELL WITH THEM!"
Lol
Judith Lowery was so freaking funny on the Maude episode and then Phyllis!!!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Everybody in this episode showed up and showed out!!! 😂😂😂😂
I cannot believe I was actually 15 years old when this actually aired the first time God went a long time ago and I still remember that episode
I wasn't born until 79. I absolutely love this show!!!
I was born the year this was filmed
Beautiful message 🎊 thank you
Polly was fantastic
I WAS TEN YEARS OLD WHEN THIS EPISODE WAS ON. CANT BELIEVE. IT
Thank you so much for posting this episode @TheRet'Network. This is one of my favorite Maude episode. To be honest I loved all of Maude episodes. I have great memories watching this show with my Mother. 💜
Entertaining one of the best and funniest episodes of Maude 😂
Hello, my name is Vivian and I’m only 5 years old.
Then you shouldn’t be drinking.
That last line will always be my favorite
😂😂😂 Maude's whole excitement

❤aunt Polly!
Aunt Polly had a point when she said to just live in the present. 💜❤ it's really all we have
Truer words never spoken✌
My stepmother was Bea Arthur’s doppelgänger, thru could’ve passed for twins
Christmas and New years is almost here it's almost a year 2023 🎉🎊🎊🎄💯
Within a Few months
Judith Lowry was a riot.
Yes a laugh riot
Its wild seeing that bickering couple from laugh in here 😂😂😂
wow in 1974 I graduated from nursing school and went to Europe on a tour!!
Maude should have told Mrs. Naugatuck to invite her date to the party...🤔
Why don't they have this on Netflix
I saw that amazon prime has all the seasons
Amazon has Seasons 1 & 2 only
What is Netflix?
Oh that has been crappy thing?🤣
@@carltonthepug I hate Netflix. Used to be such a good low key company now it’s the pinnacle of ruining originals series
You can get it free on
UA-cam and BTW I get 43 free channels on an old fashioned outside
TV antenna! They don't
Want you too know about free!!!
@15:56..."Polly, wanna cracker?" I remember that line and am glad l found it.😄😁
😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a wonderful theme. Just in line with the book I am reading now by Ryan Holiday Stillness is the key. The now is everything
Great read!
So if granny was 94 in the year 1975 that means she was born in the late 19th century, 1880 or 1881
Happy New Year my metatarsal arch!
I love the fact that they kept the final hug on the tape ...
This is fantastic
I love Aunt Polly.
That dance!
All passed away , except Adrienne B.
12:10 - 13:13 That's the Bea I love.
This is my first time seeing the ending of this episode. FETV likes to cut a few scenes out.
1975 was a hell of a year, the summer of 75...Jaws movie.
And my birthday 🤘🎉
15:57, the funniest part of this episode.
Indeed Lol
What was wrong with 1974? It was one of the most fun years of my life! (I was 11 years old.)
We agree, 1974 was a great year!
History repeats itself
Tell me, Aunt Polly, what would you like to do?
Cut everybody out of my will!
I love this series
Definitely, one of the best!
I like the other maid much better. this maid and Maude are far too much alike. the actress would have been a much better fit for Maudes's sister or smthg like that
OMG!!!! I'M DEAD 🤣🤣🤧
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Aunt Polly, wises one of the year. Every minute matters ❤
4:46 Bea Arthur flubs her line. So cute.
If anyone wants to see more of "Aunt Polly" watch Judith Lowry as "Sister Prudence" in the movie "The Trouble With Angels" with Rosalind Russell & Hayley Mills.
Jeffrey Hathaway Lowry was a true original, all right. Try and catch the Mary Tyler Moore spin-off series “Phyllis”-Lowry is unforgettable as

Love these old shows I grew up watching. You can't make shows like this anymore. Nope
1974 was a rough year for me, too. I was born!
I was a yr old!
Lmaoooo awww don't say that!
Same!!😆
Yep me too. lol
I was born in 1976. Feels like eons ago.
i thought this aired on Tuesday nights, Dec 30 was on a Monday in 1974
There are 31 days in December, genius
The date in a show doesn't necessarily have to live up exactly with a holiday. It happens all the time that a showb airs a week before the actual holiday.
When can you add more Maude episodes ¿ I watch it every night on repeat.
We'll get on that for you, Coming soon Savannah!
Yeah Polly was in the sitcom Phyllis and funny as heck!!
Agreed!

Aunt Polly is a mess!🤣😂😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like Ike, I like Ike, I like Ike.
Hey Adam, thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed!
Dont forget the late Donny Hathaway He sung the them song
15:56 Polly wanna cracker? 🤣
I’m too young to understand that, so I had to look it up a last year 😅
Usually that joke would fall flat but here it works.
15:58 Maude's reaction was hilarious! 🤣
Maude should of told her to invite the bus driver!
Luved Mrs Naugatuck
This was back in the year 1974 and 75 it's so hard to believe that is almost 20023 .
Back when television production wasn't lazy, and they did BOTH a Christmas episode AND a New Year's Eve episode..... in today's time you MIGHT get a Thanksgiving episode, and then they're in hiatus for 10 weeks.
"He got $35 & a months supply of rubber fingers" ..hmmm..?
Zits princess. 🤣
Adrienne Barbeau is a knockout in these episodes.
Carol channels Rizzo.
RIP Mitzi
Its a shame Hermione didnt last a few more years at least, she wouldve been a great sparing partner for Estelle...sophia having a british friend, or the girls maid.
I am confused because Hermione had nothing to do with Golden Girls so what do you mean?
@@markwhitman9029 im saying she died a few years after this, meaning she wasnt around for all the great shows to come. I was making a remark that she wouldve been a great acting partner for the girls, im sorry you misunderstood my statement i hope i clarified.
@@BroadwayBabyyy744 thanks. Maude ended I late 78 or 79 and Golden Girls starter in 85 so pretty late for Hermione
Yes she would have been crazy funny
Love Maude.
Maude & Aunt Polly
There is a bar in the living room.
If they only knew what 2023 brings....
and at midnight We were goin te blow th’ ‘orn! 🤣🤣🤣
I knew I couldn’t be the only person who heard it that way. I Love Mrs. Naugatuck’s Cockney accent.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
More episodes please!!! Can’t get season 3-6 anywhere

This episode is called Nostalgia Party. This show is tied for number one with Maudes Mother
What is your favourite year?
