Oh yea! She's spot on! She looks and even SOUNDS like Bea Arthur! And Korman's voice doing Walter is pretty good too! That mix of New York metro and Jewish!
@@ROBYNMARKOW Did you really? Wow that must have been nice at the time! Thanks for the interesting bit of trivia! Actually, Bill Macy was both as well!
they probably loved it. Maude was as much of a send up as Archie Bunker, just on the other side of the coin. Her instincts may be right for the most part, but she's over the top in terms of white guilt and over compensating for it.
Chicago's voters did the same thing with Lori Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson! We gotta fall to our knees and worship the Black politicians! Same with Obama. This is why I hate White liberals. Even back in the 70's when the Carol Burnett Show was going strong, even back then White liberals had a reputation for being a big bunch of ass kissing, brown nosing phonies who always pretended to champion the causes of other groups and other people, but never able to champion their own causes or protect their own communities. It's really sad. Yesterday's comedy has become today's nightmare.
She wasn’t a maid on her own show, “The Jefferson’s”. Isabel Sanford (“Louise Jefferson”) was impersonating Esther Rolle who was the actress who played the Florida Evans the maid in the “All in the Family” episode and eventually in the spin-off “Good Times”. Confusing, huh?
I remember my mom and I laughing tears watching this back then! ...and here comes Broad, LOL! Those we're the good ol days, miss my mom terribly wish she was still here!
Yes, indeed. I actually watched the part of the original Maude episode of meeting the maid the other day. And it's great. Carol Burnett is a wonderful comedian.
+ David Lightfoot......... yes me too & "The Carol Burnett Show" aired from: 1967 -1978 did you know that? & i "NEVER" new what a "PARODY" is anyway do you?
Yes! I remember when this was new - there was another parody of "Broad" that Carol did, where they spoofed the entire opening theme song and montage with HILARIOUS results! Would love to see that again...
She kept a straight face through the majority of the skit, though there was one point where I thought she was gonna lose it. When Broad sat her down on the couch and she sat at her feet. Isabel had the briefest hint of a smile but reigned it in before it got to be a laugh.
She must have taken a couple minutes to study up on Bea Arthur cuz she really nailed it ! WHAT GREAT WRITERS THEY HAD on this show. I miss quality variety/comedy shows like this
I was a kid when the Maude show was on TV, and I found the woman character horrible. She was mean, and she thought she knew everything. As an adult, I know that Hollywood was trying to show women were as powerful as men if they were mean, rude, and hated men. This was their idea of the opposite of submissive and progressive. It makes me sick to watch people in my town behave like this character in the parody, putting on social media a lineup of icon images to get people to like them from about 10 demographic and minority groups (black fist, rainbow flag, ILY handshape, etc.) Then they meet someone from a minority group that is oppressed and calls them out for something they said that is bigoted or ignorant and that same heroic savior begins destroying that person staring with pointing out their resume of how many other groups they have supported and good deeds done.
@@ScoobyandShaggy5554 We started watching All in the Family and Maude in the last few months and enjoyed 'em both. But when I was a kid, I saw All in the Family and was just like "Who'd wanna watch that, with that kinda guy in it?" and stuff. I think people just did the same kinda thing with both shows, forgetting that the main character is criticized and critiqued in both of them in different ways.
These days comedians are afraid to offend anybody. If they do, that's it! Their career is over! But back then if a comedian didn't offend somebody, then the comedian wasn't doing his or her job! These days people are so sensitive. Always looking for an excuse to punch or sue another person. Crazy times. Bad, bad times. I hope we survive this, but sometimes I wonder.
This was just done too well. Shows like Maude and All in the Family from Norman Lear will never be made again in this universe, so very sad. The theme songs were so very telling too. I miss the old days and the old ways. Now we have what? I guess every generation bemoans their past, but that is the cycle of life.
Isabelle Sanford, playing ester rolled,on a parody of a show,that spun off of all in the family,while they both also spun off of all in the family and we're always compared to each other!! Brilliant!! Oh and the guy who played Lionel on the Jeffersons, co created good times, which is why the younger son is named Michael Evans! Awesome!!
+1talldaddy I loved Isabel Sanford. Lil' trivia: when Norman Lear spun off The Jeffersons from All In The Family, Isabel actually didn't want to star in the show. She wanted to stay next door to the Bunkers. She got over that years later as The Jeffersons became it's own big hit across the country. Everybody loved Weezie! ☺️
@@inkyguy I love how all those timeless classics existed within the same universe and interconnected. Decades later, even the Fresh Prince of Bel Air became a part of that very same universe. The elderly Jefferson couple appear in group marriage counseling, needless to say it was not a quiet situation. 😁😂😭 Then later, they buy the Banks' home in the end.
I watched "The Carol Burnett Show" as a kid and teen during it's 11 year run 1967 - 1978 but don't remember the skits, therefore this is like watching something i never seen before. 👍
I remember watching this episode when it aired. Awesome parody, but I can't fathom being able to memorize the script. Carol was brutal! Hard to believe that was 43 or 44 years ago..
I was just out of high school. Honestly, Mary Hartman show moved so fast, it was tough to keep up with everything going on. I was just out of high school. Conway passed on in 2019. I stopped trying to keep up with all who left us.
OH, this is a riot! Poking the right kind of fun at the feminist movement. Nobody could do satire like Carol and company. Nothing mean, just the lunacy of some situations in her sketches, you totally got that that was a jab.. and funny as heck.. love BROAD. Carol nails Bea Arthur
This isn't poking at the feminist movement. It's poking at the white Americans who try so hard not to be offensive that they end up being offensive. That was the primary criticism of the hit series 'Maude.'
I'm a right leaning conservative but even I loved watching Maude. I really liked Bea Arthur and thought her show with her being a LIBERAL and Walter being a conservative showed that the 2 can coexist and learn to respect and love each other.
mike856ms Bea Arthur is one of my favorites, even if she's a Liberal. We knew she was, but, she didn't make it a point to express her views. Nor did Carroll O'Connor, for that matter. When Bea Arthur appeared as Maude on "All in the Family," they had a great chemistry.
Walter wasn't a conservative they met at the democratic national convention, he just wasn't as liberal as Maude (who was literally a parody inning of itself)
I use to love watching the Carol Burnett show with my late grandmother...my favorite part was the end portion with the mop and bucket, never understood that part but I loved watching it.
My sense was the cleaning lady got called to the stage to act, then was "just the cleaning lady" once the show was over. I couldn't find the story online, so that's nothing more than a guess.
GOD I MISS THIS ,,,,, I CANT WATCH ANYTHING TODAY ITS ALL YUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
There should be a whole separate DVD dedicated to the Burnett show's television and movie spoofs. Most of them were spot on, and very funny. This send-up of "Maude" is great, and----maybe except for a bit more of a Noo Yawk accent than Maude had----Carol does a terrific impersonation of Bea Arthur. It's hard to find talent like this any more.
some hooman Isabel Sanford was a talented TV/show business personality, who also played Louise "Weezie" Jefferson, on tbe TV show "The Jeffersons", And tbve maid on the Sydney Poitier movie "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner".
They all did such a great job in this sketch. But I would have loved to have seen Harvey as "Broad" and Carol as "Walter". Seeing Harvey as Mother Marcus had me imagining the roles reversed in this particular skit.
That would have been interesting! You know what, though... so many people are making such a big deal out of a skit. The IRONY is that, for ALL IN THE FAMILY, Sammy Davis Jr. actually asked to be on the show because he GOT what they were doing. He showed up in an episode of Archie Bunker's place and got kissed by Archie and Stephanie.
This was another funny sketch. According to various episodes, Louise Jefferson worked as a maid before "movin' on up." No one mentioned Walter being pantless. Both figuratively and literally, Broad wore the pants in this family.
+orangehornet57 Actually, the Jeffersons lived next door to the Bunkers in All in the Family. I believe they owned a drycleaners -- and they spun off into The Jeffersons.
+SueSnellLives! I know. Some episodes of The Jeffersons mentioned her once working as a maid. Apparently she quit to work at the dry cleaners. One time she had to ask a former employer for help with the Youth Center.
God only knows how I ended up here, as I've never seen this show nor the one it's parodying, but I do find it funny how 50 years later the jokes are still relevant.
One of the best sketches Carol and company ever did! As hilarious as the hilarious show they're lampooning! Loved Ms.Sanford's take on 'Florida'. It's too funny.....'New Jersey', indeed!! 😆
Carol Burnett is so great that she got superstar Isabel Sanford (AKA socialite Louise Jefferson) to play New Jersey the domestic engineer. I love this clip.
@@1talldaddy There was one episode where Maude wanted a black person to attend a party and Florida could not attend as a guest (I forgot what exactly happened). She was complaining about where to get another black person at the last minute. Walter said "see, Maude, you should always have a back-up black." Even as a kid I knew it was funny without even getting the full depth of why.
The reason why he isn't wearing pants because this sketch shows who wears the pants in this family, Maude LOL!
Actually I think it was because Walter in the tv series Maude was often shown walking around in boxer shorts.
Sure, but that's an excellent subtle reason of why he doesn't wear them. (Not often on Maude, because usually she is in them.)
ROFL! I totally missed that brilliant bit of nuance!
Great observation.
@@catherinejustcatherine1778 that sounds totally sexist!
''God forbid you should get off the couch and tend to that son of yours nobody ever sees''
I always thought that about poor Phillip that we only see in passing.
Carol Burnett has really got this character down to the finest detail.
Oh yea! She's spot on! She looks and even SOUNDS like Bea Arthur! And Korman's voice doing Walter is pretty good too! That mix of New York metro and Jewish!

❤🎉 And she is still with us even now 2024.
Isabel Sanford was doing an admirable job of keeping a straight face. I wonder how Bea Arthur and Esther Role liked the parody.
they probably loved it. Maude was as much of a send up as Archie Bunker, just on the other side of the coin. Her instincts may be right for the most part, but she's over the top in terms of white guilt and over compensating for it.
I Love How Walter Is Literally and Metaphorically Not Wearing Pants LOL 😅
Hahaha 👖 lol 😭
quite brilliant
"Broad" falling to her knees the second she sees New Jersey is pretty hysterical.
Virtue signaling before there was a word for it..
hearing the name "New Jersey" (nee "Florida") was hysterical too!

She was impersonating the character of Maude.
@@RaymondHng - Who was played by Bea Arthur. We're still saying the same thing here...
What a perfect parody. Carol is SO amazing in this. It’s pretty much a monologue. Great acting and impersonation. NAILED IT.
What a treat to see Isabel Sanford playing "Florida!"
It would have been a bigger treat to see her portraying a character who is not a maid.
She wasn’t a maid on her own show, “The Jefferson’s”. Isabel Sanford (“Louise Jefferson”) was impersonating Esther Rolle who was the actress who played the Florida Evans the maid in the “All in the Family” episode and eventually in the spin-off “Good Times”. Confusing, huh?
Her name is NEW JERSEY!

There was no one better at doing a parody of tv and movie characters than Carol Burnett
This was funny. I wonder how Bea Arthur reacted to this. She probably cracked up. I loved Maude and this was a perfect parody.
🇲🇲🇲🇪🇲🇷🇯🇵
Utter
Yes, indeed.
I actually watched the part of the original Maude episode of meeting the maid the other day. And it's great. Carol Burnett is a wonderful comedian.

I'd bet Bea was not amused.

yes i was around during that time ,i was very young and i know what a parody was but I back then we called TV impersonations.
Believe me, that "and then there's broad" line has stuck with me for years.

that's the "ONLY" Annie I'll watch w/ Carol Burnett in it i don't like the other ones.
"New Jersey." I fell OUT when I heard that lololololol
Played by Isabelle Sanford who will also be part of an "All in the Family" spinoff three years after this skit aired on "The Carol Burnett Show".
