Series Description
The Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman TV show was a 30 minute comedy series that aired in syndication. It was a satirical spoof of daytime soap operas, following the never-ending horrors in the life of an everyday American housewife including her sighting of UFOs, her adultery with a cop, her father the "flasher", her husband's impotency, her daughter's kidnapping by a mass murderer, and her sister the "swinger".

Mary Hartman Trivia
The TV show took place in the city of Fernwood, Ohio. It was not based, however, on the real-life city of Fernwood, Ohio. It was named after Fernwood Avenue, a street behind the studios where Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was shot.
Greg Mullavy who played Mary's husband Tom was, in real-life, married for 19 years to Meredith MacRae who starred on, "Petticoat Junction". His father, Greg Mullavy Sr. played baseball in the big leagues and was with the Dodgers for four World Series wins!
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman spawned a spin-off series titled, "Fernwood 2 Night" where Martin Mull's character, "Garth Gimble" is the main character. On that series, Garth is one of two talk show hosts on a show produced in Fernwood.
Mary Hartman eventually had a nervous breakdown while appearing on the "Fernwood 2 Night" talk show.
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was so controversial that most stations wouldn't broadcast it until after their 11 PM news programs. The show didn't really cover any subjects that viewers wouldn't find on the "real" soap operas that aired during the daytime. It was just that Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman might use the term "knocked up" instead of "with child", for example or say that Mary's husband couldn't "get it up" instead of "having performance problems". Another aspect that may have added to the controversy was that the series was making fun of those subjects where the daytime soaps were supposedly just reflecting real life situations.
The creator/executive producer of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was Norman Lear. Some of Lear's other (mostly controversial) series included "Hot L Baltimore", "All in the Family", "The Jeffersons", "Maude", and "One Day at a Time". Lear was a radio operator on a Boeing B17 Bomber for more than 50 missions over Italy during World War II! He was awarded a prestigious Air Medal with four oak leaf clusters!
The reason that the title of the series repeated Mary Hartman's name twice was that Norman Lear and his writers noticed that soap opera lines are often repeated.
In 1976, the fantastic script for the pilot episode won writers "Ann Marcus", "Jerry Adelman", and Daniel Gregory Browne Emmys in the category titled, "Special Classification of Outstanding Program and Individual Achievement". Mary Kay Place who played the character "Loretta Haggers" on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman also won an Emmy in 1977 for "Outstanding Continuing Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series".
