Maude | Vivian Gets A Facelift! | The Norman Lear Effect
Vivian (Rue McClanahan) is so excited to show off after getting a facelift and everyone is very happy for her, except for Maude (Bea Arthur).
Season 2, Episode 4 'Stitch in Time - Part 1' - Vivian returns from a five-week trip to forget her problems after a divorce. She calls to say she is coming by and has a surprise. It is a surprise - she had a face lift and looks years younger. Now Maude is upset because she looks older.

About Maude: Gutsy, smart, outspoken, and liberal -- all are terms that describe Beatrice Arthur in the title role of the TV series that spun off from the popular All in the Family. 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 (Bill Macy), their divorced daughter, Carol (Adrienne Barbeau), and grandson Phillip. The cast also includes Rue McClanahan as Maude's best friend Vivian; Walter's best friend and neighbor Dr. Arthur Harmon (Conrad Bain); and over the course of the series, three different maids (Esther Rolle, Hermione Baddeley and Marlene Warfield). Tough issues like abortion, alcoholism, women's liberation, menopause and politics are all fodder for the show's sharp wit and social commentary.

@@ilovethetampabaylightning92 German is easier to learn than English: it is far more internally consistent and has fewer exceptions. I have never learned Spanish but I keep hearing it is supposed to be one of the easiest ones to learn, and my little brother learned it when he got to pick. Spanish wasn't an option when I went to school (we only had the options conversational French, grammar focused French, conversational German, and grammar focused German which I took because not understanding the structure behind it would drive me batty). French sure isn't one of the easiest, but not one of the most difficult either. I had English classes from 4th grade to 12th, German classes half a year in year 6, from 7th-9th, French for half a year in grade 6 plus from 10th until 11th. Everyone had to learn English, my oldest little sister picked French 6th-9th and then even got the option to learn Japanese. My little brother picked Spanish first and then Mandarin I believe, and my youngest little sister just went with German and French for the sake of getting an in on the classic languages plus germanic and romance language families in case she wanted to learn more later. To use the classic quote about English: "English doesn’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.” -James D. Nicoll And on top of that, you have to keep in mind local variations like American English, British English, Canadian English, and Australian English (plus Indian English if one has the fortitude for keeping up with that extremely different version, which IMO is every bit as valid as American English on account of both having been English colonies) as sometimes the exact same line can mean opposite things e.g. in British English and American English. Similarly to how things work with North American French, France-French, African French, and so on, similarly with the various Portuguese subtypes and Spanish subtypes.

its funny. One of my mothers friends back in the 70s got a face lift. My mother couldn't understand why anyone would do that!
I swear they look so much younger on The Golden Girls 😍 esp blanche
When you watch the entire episode you will see Maude getting more and more jealous of Vivienne's new look. Vivienne will follow Maude upstairs and let her have it. Then before your eyes they become Blanche and Dorothy. Its hilarious, and for once I was happy to see Rue's character rub her good looks in Bea's characters face.
Y'all talking about Rue and Bea. But that's Mr. Drummond right there!
Prelude to the Golden Girls!!
