How it feels

A puppet named Madame, a raunchy and sharp-tongued retired celebrity, hosts a show where she insults guests and brags about her glamorous past. The series is a parody of old Hollywood divas with lots of double meanings and quick jokes.

What happens

Madame's Place is an American sitcom based on the ribald, acerbic, aging-celebrity diva Madame, a puppet character portrayed by Wayland Flowers. A single season of 74 episodes was produced for weekday broadcasts in first-run syndication, originally aired from September 1982 to February 1983. Initial syndication also featured hour-long composites created for weekend broadcasts. With broad humor based on double entendres, sharp comebacks, and her penchant for celebrity name-dropping, the character of Madame was often attired in gowns and jewels, a parody of the opulence associated with Hollywood's Golden era.
