The 70s were a very different time, FP. Things that are commonplace today, such as abortion, were barely even mentioned in mixed company back then. All of a sudden, it was OK to have such subjects on TV and producers milked it for all it was worth. Maude is a good example, as was anything produced by Norman Lear, who also did All In The Family and Good Times. The show of his that irritated me the most, though, was One Day At A Time. It just didn't ring true for me - the mom was selfish and spoiled and the two girls were the grownups in the family. Anyway, I'd take it all with a grain of salt. That 70's Show is much more remininescent, to me, of what life was like when I was in high school than anything like Maude or One Day At A Time.
