HBO used to have a preview show hosted by Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. I distinctly remember the clip they showed from "MD" was part of the wire hanger rant, ending with her going "Christinagetouttathatbed!" Meara sort of gave this look afterwards like she was stifling a giggle orsomething.

So you and I were the same age at the time. But I didn't know about the film for years. Eventually I saw Roger Ebert's review and found out more about it as I got older and was more interested in films.

It came out in Sept. of 1981. I guess you could consider it late summer/early autumn.

I did! The experience was very similar to watching a horror film. Audiences jumped whenever Faye as Joan appeared on the screen.

I wish I could see it in a theater at midnight with Rocky Horror style audience participation.

I was only a kid at the time and really didn't know about it. I was 11 and starting junior high school when it opened.

I saw it for the first time on HBO a year after it opened. I was on the road for my job. But, I had a colleague in Chicago who saw it in the theater. He thought it was a joke and claimed that other members of the audience did, too.
