Even in 2022, the comedy and the acting are so funny. It’s timeless, and so very well acted and written.

how could anyone not just LOVE rhoda!???

Thank you so much for posting this series! Today is Valerie Harper's birthday. She would have been 84 years old. 💜

"No but I'm straight as a locomotive." Too funny. Here's to the generations of women who had to deal with Charlie's on a daily basis.

Rhoda must have learned how to entertain from Mary Richards. Mary was famous for having bad dinner parties.

Rhoda and Brenda had such great rapport that they were totally sisters.

When rewatching these shows so many years later, it seems that Rhoda and Joe really didn’t have that much chemistry together.

After watching Three's Company and The MTM show all my life, and now Rhoda, I've noticed that the 70s really had something against bras.

So far, there's not enough Ida in this show. She's so funny :)

I should try and bring the head wrap back,lol

Yet another appearance of Richard Schaal, Valerie Harper's then-husband, on an MTM show. He showed up a number of times. Most interestingly as both Paul and Howard Arnell, brothers and suitors of Mary Richards'. Always amusing to see how a real-life couple acts like strangers on screen.

Which just goes to prove the old saying Valerie Harper would look good in a sugar sack!

This actor ("Charlie") was Valerie Harper's real-life husband.

Charlie is Rhoda's husband in real life during this episode. They later divorced.

"Apple's Way" was a short-lived, anodyne family-oriented light drama in the 1970s. I remember it as the most boring show on tv that was the butt of many jokes.

David Groh really made this show great!! When they fired him the show really tanked!! They made some mistake dumping him.. By the time Ron Silver came on as Gary the horny neighbor the show really got bad.. then Johnny Venture & then to top it off that idiot Boss she worked for making costumes, the show got so horribly bad!! They needed Joe & more of Rhoda’s Mother & then this show would have been a top 5 show for 6-7 years.. ( My humble opinion)

Thank you very much for your persistence!

Love Brenda's big enormous 8" screen.

I LOVE Mary and Rhoda. Two of my all time favourite shows. The only thing that bugs me is the lack of continuity. ' Charlie ' is played by Richard Schaal who, at the time was Valerie Harper's real life husband. On Mary Tyler Moore Richard played Paul and Howard Arnell and a guy named Dino in the episode where they attempted to do a feature story about a singles bar. I swear he was also Chuckles the Clown in one episode. I find it so funny how they thought nobody would notice or care that the same actor was so many people in the same universe. Then of course there is Myrna here on Rhoda who played the incompetent waitress on an episode of MTM. Oh well. Nothing beats the classics. They just don't make sitcoms this amazing anymore.

Neat to see the young version of Ray Curto from Sopranos as the greeter at the restaurant.

Why didn't she invite her sister to the party?

Richard Schaal was also on Phyllis. R.I.P

First appearance of Charlie Burke (Richard Schaal).

I don't see the big deal that Rhoda was making. I don't feel I have to be best friends with my husband's male friends nor do I feel he has to like all my friends. We are cordial to each other's friends though but if we don't care for any of each other's friends, we're not making a huge deal of it & taking the person we dislike out to lunch to analyze why we don't like them.

why force a relationship if they don't like each other they just don't I wouldn't be friends with him in a million years! go where the love really is,,,,

I've used spare time in lockdown watching some of these old school shows I vaguely remember watching with my folks growing up ... Mary Tyler Moore, all 3 spin offs, Golden Girls, Marcus Welby MD to name a few So glad that YT hasn't shut all of them down ... Except Golden Girls looked to be filmed by someone holding a camera pointed at a TV lol

That long white dress Rhoda is wearing with the orange and grey print is the ugliest, most unflattering thing she's ever worn.

That's the infamous Howard Arnell!

Even in the 1980s, there were still Men's Only places, or Women used the side or back doors. I was in my 20s. Thank goodness that is long over.

"He's a single guy!"...um, he's 52. 😒

Charlotte Brown was a damn good writer.

It’s fun to see her do such a scene with her real life husband.

Don't force people to like you some people aren't meant to be in your life for a reason, especially if they are ignorant and have toxic energy like this man . Happily let the connection go ....

At 5:25 when Rhoda says "there's nothing good on television," there's a semi-creepy male's voice in the background that says "Yes, there is."

Great dress

A party without Brenda, weird

very funny

Why is Rhoda wearing what appears to be a bathrobe, during dinner with Joe and Charlie?

Weird Episode

8:30 "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"

Who, or what says: "Yes, there is" at 5:25? Was it supposed to be Joe? Or is it a man in the audience, a crew-member, or a paranormal entity?

it’s funny how later on the actor who played charlie later dated rhoda in another season

So so so 1970s...you pick the emoticon.

If I don't like someone I just won't tell that person. According to Cosmopolitan magazine they say...? Who takes advice from a silly magazine?

They loved saying terrific and sensational

So Joe had a gay friend and he didn’t realize :-)

The guy name charlie was Rhonda real husband in real life, i read up

Why the same actors in every show?

Omg really that orange dress 👗 was that ugly 😑

Would guys really want to go to a bar with no possibility of girls being there ?

The main problem with Rhoda was on MTM, Rhoda was abrasive, obnoxious and pushy. Even borderline mean to Mary in some episodes. But that was to offset her insecurity of being overweight. By this time, Valerie (and Rhoda) was clearly a knockout and for most episodes lost that abrasiveness that made her so funny. Here you see more of the old Rhoda always ready to stand up for herself, even if it's self depreciating.

6:18 Rhoda (and Valerie Harper for that matter) was a great-looking girl, but that was HORRIBLE dress! I literally thought at first that it was a huge smock to protect the real dress in case of any kitchen accidents.

I was soooooioo glad when Merna shot him dwn😂❤😂❤

Everyone saying joe and rhoda don't have chemistry, i just don't see it. I think they're fine together....

Brenda was the best

😂😅😅😂

That was her real husband.

Joe is good looking but, not very likeable.

I cant believe these two were married. Ugh. Horrible. And he sounds like he really acted like that in real life. Ugh.😟

Joes laughs are extra exaggerated, not believable, is it just me? Lol when Rhoda says something funny he comes across fake

Joe and Charlie.. FARTS. DON'T LIKE EITHER.. NEVER LIKED JOE.. CHARLIE. YUKK ALSO

white dress worst dress I've ever seen.

Perfect example of pushy feminists wrecking things.

women who go by every thing Cosmopolitan said really did not have a broad scope of reading and very gullible to believe everything Cosmopolitan says really sad and pathetic really .

The blatant homophobia! Wow! How far we've come. This episode would have been banned/never aired in today's world. And the outright sexism for being a woman "unescorted" in a bar/restaurant. It sickens me!

Two great homophobic scenes in this one. Horrible. I'm all for outlawing old shows like this.
