Oh, excuse me. I didn’t realize you were watching the tape of Mary Hartman’s breakdown on the David Suskind Show again.
IMDB synopsis:
S2.E1 ∙ Episode #2.1
Mon, Oct 4, 1976
Andrew Ackerman feels that Mary’s appearance on The David Susskind Show will bring attention -and more money- to the psychiatric ward at Fernwood Receiving. Mary meets Wanda Rittenhouse on the ward, and Wanda thanks Mary for making “BDs” respectable. Mary tells Dr. Williams that she’d rather be a plant than a person, but he reassures her that she’s stronger than she thinks. Charlie and Loretta wonder exactly what injuries were inflicted by the gunshot in Merle’s motel room. Mary is welcomed into her new Nielsen family at the hospital.
Thrilling star sightings: Howard Hesseman, Dr. Johnny Fever himself, and his perfect hair as Dr. Williams! Marian Mercer as Wanda! She is incredibly familiar as she has done a ton of tv work, but I probably mostly remember her from It’s a Living! Nedra Volz, the second housekeeper from Diff’rent Strokes, as an as-yet unnamed character!
