A socially conscious sitcom built around a sharp-tongued feminist protagonist who uses comedy to interrogate the social issues of her era while maintaining the warm domestic reassurance of a family-centered format.

Well-educated and upper middle class, Maude Findlay is the archetypal feminist of her generation. She lives in suburban Tuckahoe, New York, with her fourth husband, Walter, their divorced daughter, Carol, and grandson Phillip.
