Did Maude inspire any TV shows and adaptations?

The TV series Good Times (1974–79) featured the highly popular character Florida Evans (played by Esther Rolle), who originally appeared as Maude’s housekeeper. Rolle left Maude to appear on Good Times; both shows were produced by Norman Lear. Maude was also adapted for British television as the show Nobody’s Perfect, which aired for 14 episodes over two seasons in 1980–82. A French adaptation, Maguy, aired for 332 episodes from 1985 to 1993.
