Apple Pie (TV series)
Rue McClanahan starred as Ginger-Nell Hollyhock, a single and lonely hairdresser who lives in Kansas City, Missouri during the Great Depression year of 1933. When Ginger-Nell places classified ads in the local newspapers, she recruits a group of wacky relatives – a con-man husband, Fast Eddie Murtaugh; a tap-dancing daughter, Anna Marie Hollyhock; a son who wanted to fly like a bird, Junior Hollyhock; and a tottering old blind grandfather, Grandpa Hollyhock – all of whom come to live together for the laughs.When the sitcom "Maude" ended in April 1978, producer Norman Lear created "Apple Pie" as a star vehicle for Rue McClanahan, who had played Vivian Harmon on "Maude". The show, however, was not well received and was canceled after two episodes, though eight had been filmed under the direction of Peter Bonerz.
