Maggie

1981–1982 · 1 season

A gentle, joke-a-minute suburban sitcom that ambles along comfortably, easy to half-watch while it pokes affectionate fun at domestic chaos.

Overview: Based on books by Erma Bombeck, Maggie Weston is a housewife living with husband Len and sons Mark and Bruce outside of Dayton, Ohio. There is a third son, LJ, who is never seen because he's "always in the bathroom." Rounding out the main cast are Maggie's friends.
How it feels: Light, warm, satirical and whimsical. Measured and fine in the background.
About: Family, parenthood, work, friendship
Content: Mild sexual content. No violence, gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
