Maggie aired from October 1981 until May 1982 on ABC.
Maggie was the television version of the harried suburban housewife made famous in the books by Erma Bombeck. Maggie Weston ( Miriam Flynn) was a typical housewife. Husband Len ( James Hampton) was vice-principal of schools in Dayton, Ohio, and a perfectly pleasant guy.The children were 8-year old Bruce ( Christian Jacobs), 12 year old Mark ( Billy Jacoby), and 16 year old L.J.who was never seen because he was always in the bathroom. Rounding out the cast were Maggie's friend and Neighbor, Loretta ( Doris Roberts), a beautician; her friend Chris ( Margaret Impert), a manicurist, and insufferable Buffy Croft( Judith-Marie Bergan), a realtor. Their little adventures revolved around clogged drains, notes from the teacher and Mark's braces, things Maggie liked to chat about during her weekly visits to Loretta's house of Coiffures. It was all very witty and true to life in Miss Bombeck's writings, but somehow fell flat on the screen, leading to an early cancellation for this series.
