Maude (997 words)
Maude was the "flip side of Archie Bunker," Lear explained, a "flawed liberal" married to her fourth husband living in upstate New York with her divorced daughter - hoping to do for liberal suburban matrons what Archie did for urban blue collars.

Maude and Walter were definitely heavy social drinkers, but when Maude wakes up in bed with Arthur following a late-nighter, she and Walter swear off the booze, only Walter can't ("Dean Martin gets a million dollars for his buzz," he rationalizes).
