Oh my goodness, I remember Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. I was 16 when this show came on the air. I watched all of Lear's shows growing up and loved them but this one confused the heck out of me. And yet I still watched it. Laughing while trying to figure out what was going on. Thanks for the jolt to my memory box, Martini.
Read the first essay, very interesting.
My takeaway quote, but maybe it's already obvious to you: "In other words, we no longer watch commercials, we are commercials."
I was slightly shocked when I realised the essay is actually from 2010. I certainly wouldn't have found that insight so evident then.

It was definitely one of the weirder shows of its time, but that's what I think made it so enticing for those that loved it.
