Housewife Mary Hartman seems to be having a bit of a breakdown. She argues with her sister over a waxy yellow buildup (that her cleaning product has guaranteed against) and then she starts to hear sirens. Are they really there? Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman: The Complete Series is now available for pre-order from Shout! Factory.

The absence of a laugh track gave it a sense of realism that separated it from other sitcoms.

Brought here after having just watched an old Taxi re-run with Louise Lasser guest starring as Alex's ex-wife, where she emotionally blackmails him into dragging her along to a company Christmas party. She pretty much owned the scenes she was in, and while I may have been imagining it, Andy Kaufmann appeared to be in absolute awe of her.

But for Louise Lasser's New York accent, her channeling a Midwest, Middle American WASP housewife (but with her braids and miniskirt, still rocking the Fleishman's white bread and Vermont Maple Syrup logo girls) of this era was spot on--with a bit of subtle exaggeration for satiric comic effect. Her Mary was as iconic a homemaker stultified in her cage as Lucille Ball's Lucy.

Interesting observation. You generally rarely actually busted out laughing during this show (this was not Lucille Ball stand-up, sitcom) but instead chuckled to yourself after a stretch. It was that kind if "episode." Often leading seemingly nowhere - i.e., no punch lines; but something to rehash in your head, and might find it humorous.
