- TriviaIn this episode, Carol is portrayed by actress Marcia Rodd. When Maude (1972) became its own series, the role of Carol went to actress Adrienne Barbeau (reportedly Marcia - primarily a theater actress - decided not to join the spinoff). Bea Arthur was quoted as saying she would rather have had Marcia Rodd carry on playing Carol throughout the spin-off, regarding Barbeau's portrayal as too soft, while Rodd played her as hard-edged. Rodd did guest star as a different character in "Walter's Temptation" during the final season of "Maude".

Featured review
And then there's Maude
This pilot is better than any "Maude" episode I can recall. The story of Maude's daughter about to be married is well done. Observant viewers will note that Marcia Rodd and Bill Macy had each appeared, as different characters, in previous AITF episodes. I think Marcia was better-looking than Adrienne Barbeau, but Adrienne had at least two other good qualities. In this episode, we hear some bigoted remarks being made-and without Archie being present. Three characters, initially denouncing Archie for his bigotry, ultimately prove themselves not entirely free of prejudice. This episode had the benefit of John Rich, one of the all-time best TV directors. Perhaps, "Maude" would have been better if Rich had directed that show.
