"Hello? Hi. This is Henrietta Robbins, your cousin from Brooklyn. Hi, I hate to bother you here, but I'm desperate. See, the bomb blew the bus up and I need $7,000 or else I'm gonna become a cattle rustler…"

Barbra Streisand's Diary of a Mad Housewife, except the spouses actually love each other.
You get:
Babs in a short wig (designed by Jon Peters, naturally). Then topped by ANOTHER wig under a hat. An apartment off of Prospect Park. Extreme 70s interior décor. Michael Sarrazin in a bathtub. William Redfield and Estelle Parsons as annoying in-laws. Richard Ward and Vivian Bonnell as unwitting partners in crime. A sharp left into screwball Belle de Jour territory when the greatest Yiddish theater actress of the twentieth century, Molly Picon, shows up as a madam who always refers to herself ("Mrs. Cherry") in the third person. Noted writer Heywood Hale Broun as a judge whose sex games go awry and he finds himself locked in a trunk. Joseph Maher as another unlucky client. Louis Zorich as a cab driver with the inside scoop on the future of pork belly stocks. Anne Ramsey as a telephone company clerk. Sidney Miller as a drunk driver. Vincent Schiavelli as a flamboyantly gay grocery clerk. Cows and bulls stampeding down Fourth Avenue...
...Need I say more?
