mary hartman-chicken soup

[whitewitchoz]

I actually remember watching this scene when it was on primetime...I was 5 or 6 so most of the jokes was over my head. Today, this stuff cracks me up !

[fishhead06]

Simply amazing.

[Xavio58]

This was and still is, sooooooooooooooo funny

[MsCLavette]

I'm african American and I was about 5 when I watched this show. I never forgot it. Never. I loved this.

[MrMonsterstiffy]

@MsCLavette why is your color important?

[CuteCatFaith]

I was a college student in Ohio when this was out and this program was so popular with my gay campus pals! She rubbed her teeth cuz of the coke. Very good series, thank you for this. Greetings from France!

[OZOBIEUSA1]

Those were the days!

I remember I was very young and this show came on after the late (11:00pm) News....

Id do my best to try and sneak a peak!

However now it appears dry, but I still laugh!

[kevkevinkev]

This is as funny as a root canal.

[iamcosmichands]

Leroy has drowned... in a bowl... of my chicken soup; I have actually taken a human life with my chicken soup

[WytZox1]

The coach drowning in a bowl of Chicken Soup was prob'ly the funniest moment of this series! LOLOLOLOL☺☺☺

[7777TubeSurfer]

Blanche, get me a big bowl. Get me a really big bowl.

[caleb6868]

I never quite got this show.

[Dehzee]

@caleb6868 no body did, lol!

[anotherhunkydory]

put this whole series along with forever fernwood on net flix streaming....

[Mujangga]

I can't believe they made 300 episodes of this.

[buck1059]

This is one of the most memorable scenes. Just notice at around 2:55 you can see a Queue card on the right.

[mpjgbx]

@buck1059 haha you sure can

[Dehzee]

@buck1059 Keep watching, it is a sign leaning up against the wall..

[pete0969wi]

Reminds me of my ex's cooking...

[anotherhunkydory]

to the one who says Blanche has a little hot body "Are you Stoned or something?"

[exeuroweenie]

"Cold cells",haha.I wish this hadn't been before my time,or still broadcast.It's kinda low key goofy.

[decimated550]

Blanche has a hot little body for a lady her age.

[djjserpico]

"They say a shot of booze is the best thing for the flu". PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!

[djjserpico]

This show RULED!!! It was perfect.

[the1mama]

BEST SOAP EVER!!! FUNNIEST SHIT!!!!!

[MusikAndLuv]

Seconal is now used in lethal injection cocktails for anyone who doesn't know what it is...

[ccipollini1984]

I never understood this show. Is it a comedy, satire, black comedy, drama?

What is it?

[deckard97]

@ccipollini1984 yes.yes.yes and not really

[4021971]

I love this. How did you get it? This show is one of the best ever!

[lomlloyl]

[kristinangelique]

[cassandrapua]

I was totally addicted to this show in the 70's. Many firsts. So much talent.

So good to see it again..thanks

[AubreyMalachi]

[blahdavid]

This is quite possibly the most mind-blowingly brilliant thing I've ever encountered.

[AtomicMonster454]

gfgfgfgfgf

[525wireman]

Today we call this, "Water-boarding"

HaHaHaHaHa LMAO!

[saltycaribou]

My dad told me about this, at first i thought he was talking about he got drunck and FELL in a giant bowl of

chicken soup. (about 10 ft tall).

And could'nt get his head up.

[bruho5]

I can't stop watching this its a trip...Luv! Mary...

[liljj231997]

I remember this on Friday night on CBS in Cleveland i miss the good old days....

[casarojo]

One of my all time favorite tv show segments! LOL! I've not seen this since it originally aired. I miss Mary Hartman Mary Hartman! Thanks for this! :-)

[myeralan]

Funny in a Pinter way

[compewterknut]

I remember this show so well. I was in High School at the time, and some friends and I would always talk about Mary Hartman. This was one of my all time favorite episodes. I miss the good old days....

[lizajane54]

..."they practically invented chicken soup and an incredible amount of them are doctors" LOL

[Bestmanme08]

Martin Mull (Garth Gimble on MHMH) in great new bio (Charlton Heston: An Incredible Life: Revised Edition) at amazon!

[bruho5]

Im about to break a rib Luv MAry Hartman...

[zeelandsteven]

One of my all-time favorite moments in the history of US television, and second-favorite moment in MH, MH.

[wyominglost]

what? no cpr?

[myrabradwell40]

This must of been when louise Lasser was on drugs.

[harpogiraffe]

Take his head out of the freakin' bowl!

[ozzyscruggs1]

"I have actually taken a human life with my chicken soup" sounds straight out of Woody Allen.

[sanfrancisco89]

No wonder Carol Burnett lampooned this show. Her version is almost spooky. It is as if MH, MH is lampooning CB.

[dLimboStick]

The best thing to come out of this show was Fernwood Tonight, and America Tonight.

[dadawada26]

This is a brilliant show. Louise Lasser is a great actor.

[mow1717]

mary hartman mary hartman

[Iralene]

way ahead of its time this show was

[mariebabylon]

Does anyone know if there is a boxed set of these shows for sale ? What has happened to some of the cast members??

[jandeksmith]

cathy shumway died a few years back.Alcoholism .her boyfreind died in the 911 attack.

[AJthemoviebuff]

This is sheer brilliance!!

[unbridledid]

it is very important that this liquid part gush, we just want it to gush right up into your brain. I love this dialogue, there isn't anything on today that comes anywhere near this. It is so odd it is charming, I cannot resist it

[lonelyboy03]

Nothin like Seconal and Booze kids. LOL!

[patriciathegreat]

When I was a teenager in the 70s we all used to get really stoned and watch Mary Hartman... It was like a ritual lol

[xxthebraveoneofallxx]

lol awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[sks409]

mary hartman was a cute girl.

[clovengod]

brilliant.the 70's had the best tv shows.

[lonelyboy03]

Agreed now all they have is CSI, Law and Order and reality shows.  TV today is abyssmal.

[brendaleake]

is that joanna gleason (blanche)?

[BestManMe09]

Just seriously remember everyone---that Martin Mull is not a model person for anyone to follow. He's less human than most of us with no ability to get angry!

[jephsteph]

He's Dead, Dead...... Leroy Drowned

Deadest man in the whole damn town

[BestManMe09]

Eydie, please forget the forgotten Mr. Solomon. Its the naturally lobotomized Martin Mull (Garth Gimble on Mary Hartman)that is important as he is on hundreds of shows. Mull is strange (as he admitted in a 1978 interview that he never yelled in reallife). Count yourself normal if you do yell on occasion!

[eydie57]

i had SUCH a crush on bruce solomon who played sgt. dennis foley.  do you have the hospital scene where mary and dennis finally...um... consumate their relationship?

[andrewdcarter]

LOL...this show was so "trippy"...i just loved it as a kid...my mom thought it was so silly but she grew to love it...never missed it

[BestManMe09]

Martin Mull (Garth Gimble on MHMH) has a strange physical condition in reallife. He is incapable of anger. He admitted in a 1978 Newsweek interview that he never yelled in reallife. My brother-in-law has a similar condition and when my bro-in-law was a kid he was taken by his parents toa neurologist!

[Msbookie]

Reds:

Street-name for secanol--a barbituate/downer. Secanols are called reds because 1) it's easier to say than secanol when you're jaw is too numb to work and 2) the pills are lipstick-red.

We should all take a lesson from Jimi Hendrix--Never mix reds with whiskey and then choke on your own vomit.

[blank77]

Maybe Leroy was trying to tell Mary and his wife something about that chicken soup!lol!!

Great show.I miss watching it!

[meltywit9]

Chicken soup wasn't good for Leroy's soul.

[patriciathegreat]

My friends and I used to get stoned and watch this..... lol.... back in the day. It is much funnier when stoned :)

[namtap]

As if that means anything.  What isn't?

[luvlife347]

Death by chicken soup...LOL

[beefingfraeulein]

wow. nice payoff...

[salemrush]

Notice no laugh track. They didn't think us morons needed to be told that this is Funny!

[Libitina72]

hahaha!!

[TeriJoSSNorway82]

where's the christmas tree one, where (garth?) the twin of fernwood tonite, mary hides him in the closet and he gets killed by the christmas tree? one of the best episodes.

[TeriJoSSNorway82]

lmao, too funny, it's just as good the second time around!

[spacetimecontinuum]

One of the best shows ever!!! This and Soap were my favourite shows as a child,cant wait to re-visit the series so I can appreciate the humour on an adult level.

Mary Rulez!

[JOROSS2]

Thanks oh so much! Now I know just what to bring mom this summer-a Mary Hartman DVD! She used to love this show!

Thanks again! This skit is so funny!

[BrokenLeggBilly]

Mary's sexy!

[BeatBuddy]

The best soap opera ever!

[roullettechick]

@BeatBuddy

you mean Soupopera,lol!

[deardusky]

I remember this from 30 years ago. It is one of my favorite scenes. Love him trying to pull himself out of the soup by his hair. Thank you for posting

[bobpiaf]

lolololo,omg!
