Me too. It's an escape to simpler times.

Same

Old tv shows make me feel like this!

@@tajuorimolade6566 Same

Me too 😊

I know I was like why is she going to the dr lol I googled and 1977 they came out wow how crazy huh

😮​@@Lifeafterthedarknarc

IT does hold up really well. Not dated as MTM was. Still good show, but Rhoda is timeless!

The 1970's was when television really came of age, and reflected the realities of modern life. So many great sitcoms, especially the jewel in the crown of CBS---the Saturday night lineup!!!

I loved The Jeffersons at the time but it does not hold up well today

Yup, that episode of 'Rhoda' made me want to punch Linda Lavin in her smug, neurotic, pinched little stupid face. It has been said that any actor or actress who can elicit a strong emotional reaction from an audience, must be really skilled at their job. To that point, I detested Shelley Winters for many years, because of the horrible role of the rotten mother of a victimized blind girl that she played in the heartbreaking film, "A Patch of Blue." One of my all-time favourite films. Elizabeth Hartman and Sidney Poitier were both brilliant. Sensitive and sweet. She passed away tragically at a young age, and he passed away last year, I believe.

@Joshua Swain Yeh, great for the unborn!!!

@The mysterious Miss X Both MTM productions

I feel for you. An alcoholic parent is the worst thing on the planet. Thank goodness you survived.

As someone who was an adult in the 70's, I can tell you that people knew it was not a good idea to drink when pregnant; but they were told that one or even two drinks would not have any negative effects on the baby. So even pregnant women would have an occasional drink. They also knew that cigarette smoking was not a good idea when pregnant; however, I can remember very definitely that the warning against cigarette smoking (for everyone) came out in the late 60's and it said, "cigarette smoking MAY be hazardous to your health." It did not say it definitely was hazardous to your health. Again, I think doctors said that an occasional cigarette would not harm the baby. Today we know that any alcohol or cigarette smoking is not good for a fetus and total abstinence is required.

Accept the fact she likely did. we all have.

This was the 70's besides she wasnt pregnant

Melanie Hamilton Rhoda said she wasn’t pregnant and drank the wine !!!!!!

@@faithfulchristian9171 The Surgeon Generals warning on cigarette packages and that it may be hazardous to your health was on packages in 1964. I believe that was the year it came out.

She is (or was) Cara Williams. She starred with Harry Morgan ( Col. Potter from M A S H ) in a sitcom called Pete and Gladys.

Remember her from an Alfred Hitchcock epi. 1950's. She was beautiful!

@@markgiardina1303 ⁹

i rhought that too. but Lucy was prettier

Especially from the side.

She gets a lot more attractive as the episodes go on.

scott smith I think she is lovely. I think she lost weight.

Brenda certainly loses quite a bit of weight..

These types of breakfasts were more common in yesteryears; especially danish.

Never mind them, they don't have what we had and still cherish.

@@NatalieYOT Thank you for the kind words! 😃 (although KZfaq has changed it so we can no longer see the thumbs down votes) I was a teen when this first aired, and you?

Uugh .. millennials 😉followers of big labels .🇨🇦🪶

Many thought the actor was the wrong type to hook Rhoda up with.

How he died? When?

@@christinegoodman1334 2008, Kidney cancer...he was 68 years old.

@@anneoboyle426 thanks

@@anneoboyle426 :(

WoW so true with Lucy, Ricki and the kids! 👌

since their marriage didn't last it wasn't a good idea

Totally agree

Beautiful and talented actress.

Yes!

Yep. Sure did!!!

I was just about to write the very same comment!

Yeah, just a tiny nibble. The beads.

Mantrap.

Amen to that. It takes a real man to be a parent.

@@samuelpenn2973 Use protection. Men and women use protection. A child is a big responsibility, and they are expensive. They are also a blessing. My daughter is now a Mental Health Therapist . It works out.

@@VictorianMetalGirl does he?

@berrylicious yes she was, just love her ❤

What? No Muslim imam? No Buddhist priest? I am shocked, SHOCKED, at this religious discrimination!

@@kevinashwood2146 I loved the first 2 best

Oh, I'm not too sure about that. Her character and wit was what got her spinoff.

You mustn't understand Rhoda's character then. Rhoda is nice on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rhoda.

@@leesas_classics1722 She could be really abrasive at times on the MTM show.

Me, too. 🥺

Ya that is weird that they didnt put that in the script.

Communication with Mary was nil on this show.

Joe and rhoda got divorced

@@debrahelmlinger6256 But before that?

Said the same about Thalidomide.

He and Rhoda split up quite early on... and divorced.

Loved that look

That has come back. They're just made tied now.

@@CrystalM1917 You have to have the waist for that. And back then I did.

I don’t remember when ads were banned but they smoked on Cheers in the mid-80s, about 8 years after Rhoda ended.

ElineMusic21 Rhoda asked for the glass of wine so she knew she wasn't pregnant

Back then women still drank if they felt like it for the most part.

Joshua Swain geez, calm down.

Yes, he does!

How is he a jerk??

Hey!.....Agree, he is an obnoxious, arrogant, ulgy asshole......

He just seemed grumpy most of the time but was very nice during the pregnancy episode.

I agree. Good looking, but a jerk.

And she did it well.

@@jamesr1703 Yes she did.

No. They came later if my memory serves me

I remember home pregnancy tests were a new thing when I used one in 1980. It took around half an hour (approximately) to get the results. It was how I found out my son was on the way.

@@allcatz i was born in 85 and my mom still went to the doctor to find out.

@Crystal McCarroll of course, confirmation by a doctor was an option and recommended if one's test was positive. I distinctly recall doing the test at home, which was EPT, and was an involved process including a test tube and its holder. A positive result was a circle at the bottom of the test tube. My mom was amazed we could do a home test. My son was born August of 1981 and I'll never forget how I felt seeing that ring shape at the bottom that tube! Btw, I still have the holder because my mom did a craft project with it and gave it to me as a keepsake.

@@allcatz thats pretty cool. Thats great you did that bc nowadays women keep their tests too...i have my tests from when i was pregnant with both my sons. I would love to see what a vintage test looks like.

Where? He was only married once

You must not have watched many episodes.

What is clothes horsie? 🤔😅

@@CrystalM1917 Loves clothes and squires a lot of them

Because they are newly married and havent planned for a child as yet....

They weren't ready for a child and hey have you heard, some people don't even want children

I think that 1970s shows, unless they were a family comedy, were more likely to have childless couples. For example the Good Life, in the UK, had 2 couples who were married for years, both childless.

They didn’t realize it was a problem until the 80’s.

Babies love wine!
