I absolutely ❤️ Rhoda and Valerie Harper. Both down to earth ladies in touch with their feelings and strong!

R.I.P., Valerie.....lovely, lovely lady....

Brenda (Julie Kavner) was so adorable. I love the secret knock that Rhoda and Brenda use to identify each other at their doors.

Nobody could pull off the head scarves like Valerie!!

I always loved Scoey. He's still alive in 2020 too.

It's interesting to rewatch shows that I used to watch when I was a little kid and realize that some jokes totally went over my head . For example, a running gag on this show was that Carlton was constantly drunk. It's totally obvious now, but when I was 7 years old and first watching Rhoda, I had no idea he was supposed to be a lush. I just thought he had a funny voice.

RIP to both Joe and Rhoda.

Rhoda was a good tv show

"New York, this is your last chance!" 👣 😊 ✨⭐

Rhoda and Joe weren't exactly nice to each other. It was like Joe condescended to marry Rhoda, and she was forever grateful to him. Like he did her a favour.

All Rhoda ever does is worry about losing Joe. Brenda isn't the only one with a self-esteem problem.

You are great for posting these and giving the synopsis!!

My only complaint with this show is so many episodes are conflicts or issues that come between Rhoda and Joe. I would have preferred more outside problems that they tackle together from the start.

I remember when everyone had personalized stationery and knew how to write.

i loved joe a great character rhoda was such a good show

Carlton was a trip! 😄

I never open my husband's mail without his OK, and he does the same for me. Mail is only to be opened by the addressee, and is private, even with married couples.

The first year of this show was excellent

MTM would never have yellow stationery. She hated yellow, as evidenced by her reaction to the car that Rhoda arranged to get for her.

I use to think Rhoda was stronger than Mary. But Mary was the independent, strong woman that didn't always need approval from a man. The way Rhoda is constantly worried about Joe and him leaving her is so annoying. She was so fearful and weak.

I use to share a place and locked the bathroom door. But when I moved out into my own place I still locked the door for about a week. Then I had realized that I don't need to close the door or lock it. It sounds like Joe is suffering from anxiety and has panic attacks. That's why he locks the bathroom door. It could be that Joe is depressed too.

I predict they will split in two years.

I always felt that the character "Joe" didnt luv the character "RHODA" enough Sometimes he came off as gruff and missing a sensitivity chip🙄

The 70s was the Me decade, where there was alot more divorces. It was a great decade but by the 1980s it was a tough decade, divorce isn't easy for kids

Did anyone notice that there are several actors that were on Mary Tyler Moore (MTM) that went onto portray other characters on Rhoda? For instance, 'Howard Arnell (MTM) went onto portray Joe's friend 'Charlie'...Henry Winkler was a date for Rhoda on MTM and on Rhoda, he portrayed a office worker at an employment agency...'Sally', Rhoda's high school friend....was a waitresss on MTM and 'Myrna Morgenstein' on Rhoda, first portrayed a bad waitress on MTM...can you think of any others?

😂 lol you know that shower scene was improvised cos that was too real that laugh

I like Rhoda except for when she's stressing and agonizing over Joe & other men. That gets annoying. She's just not good when dealing with men. She gets more insecure than even Brenda! In the episodes after she & Joe separated, it got on my nerves and was almost painful to watch her beg Joe repeatedly to explain to her why they couldn't stay married & try again. She was equally annoying when she & Brenda's boss tried to date a few episodes later. And it was also irritating when she stressed over 1 boyfriend who didn't want to be exclusive; I think it was Judd Hirsch from Taxi. Rhoda is at her best and most entertaining when dealing with her family, friends, & co-workers. In those non-romantic situations, she's the strong, funny, sassy Rhoda we all know and love.

thanks

I always lock the bathroom door when there are other people in my house. I was once married and I didn't want my wife or children walking in on me while I was taking a dump. I was in the bathroom just now, so obviously I left the door open to watch this episode. LOL!

I like this show, and I like Joe and Rhoda. Why people come on here and talk about how they dislike Joe and why is Rhoda so neurotic, etc, like they're real people. It was written a certain way, and complaining about a show from over thirty years ago makes no sense.

Eh, Joe was a pain in butt.

"She sure is getting fat." Too funny.

I liked this starting theme the best...it's funny.As pretty as Rhode is she always acts so insecure concerning Joe.He was cute but in this episode he has some quirks.If sharing space bothered him so much he should've remained alone.

This is a Drama/comedy.......I'm seeing it now.....I came n expecting comedy and they got more problems than Good Times in the Projects.....now I get it

Jud Hirsch was in the running to be Joe. He would have been better.

I don’t think Rhoda should’ve married. It seemed to have thrown the character off. Also Brenda was very underrated. Jewish neurosis? We Jews all experience it. It’s a very special type. The music was not the best but it was the 70s. Love her throwing her hat hat like Mary. Well, quite like Mary. Ida played her role perfectly. Rhoda, yes, was insecure but I loved the show then and still.

If they wouldve used Ida soooo much more, it could've been a lot like everybody loves raymond. Oh, well, 45 yrs too late. Lol

Talk about respecting a person s privacy . Do not open someone's mail unless they give you permission or it was opened in error in which you write on the envelope opened in error . Well out of order .

I love Rhoda on the MTM show even tho she was kinda negative, but this show, I do love it but they have Rhoda so needy and sad, I think the plan of the show must have been to have a divorce cause she is not someone fun to be married too, and he seems not to want to commit. This is coming from someone born in the 90s, so I might be wrong

Rhoda, is AWESOME & her ending up w Joe is just unfortunate I've NVR understand the reason for Joe.... All episodes w o him are SPLENDID, I just DNT like him for her at ALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! Out of all the men she could hv ended up w & divorced, Joe makes NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SENSE.....IJS😮😮😮😮😮

I never realize how horrible those wraps look that she wore......haaaaaaaaaaaaaa....... The lack of privacy between them all drives me nuts but it's hilarious

Rhoda's complete self sacrifice is not attractive .who wants to constantly have to reassure an insecure partner?

I thought Joe was a di%k in this episode. I get wanting to lock the bathroom. One doesn’t have to always know when you want to go number two, but being picky about your partner putting the laundry away, staying out of certain drawers, and hiding the fact that you needed to see a psychiatrist over what ended up being just two appointments over “Rhoda’s positives”, is just strange.

Joe & Rhoda looked good together but didn't date long enough b4 marriage. The writers rushed it. I liked the show Mary was the successful career woman not caving to pressure to marry. I always liked Rhoda more . But Rhoda was very insecure & played head games with men. Rhoda definitely had issues as did Joe. I think Joe caved in to Rhoda's need to be married to please her parents & once married she then always worried about Joe leaving her which was annoying. Just saying. Also if I saw my sister everyday it would drive me crazy.😮

I agree Rhoda is much stronger than mary and very independent

Interesting these days when there is criticsm of actors playing their type,two out of three of the sterotypical Jewish family arent Jewish and they play neurotic jews with self esteem issues. Whwn you hear Valerie Harper speak she sounds very confident and doesnt have a horrible Bronx accent. Only Brenda is Jewish and she plays a very funny depressed type. Rhoda is a feminist but is obsessed with joe. Later on she is liberated from focusing on men ..

I never cared for Joe’s character.

Cute apartment sister live same building.

TO see your sister daily for me would be monotonous . I did for a year and it was not pretty . Families and friends you see not too often well in my case it is good for me here in this country best to not have a social life because the people here are not worth it . I thought I met someone who was different wishful thinking sadly .

Joe is a loser...he just doesn't love Rhoda the way she longs to be loved ...there's two main reason why this bothers me (1) its the 1970's the womans movement female were running around burning their bras so Rhoda character should of had more of an independence edge even in love ...and (2) it's her show why assign your self such a weakling part and give a man the superior role as to even be the one to leave you in the marriage

I am really puzzled by the music for the show. What was the composer thinking? Little girls' voices, then a funky r&b bass guitar under the same theme? Strange symbolism. Vaguely like a porn movie.

I like this show a little. However, I think it was a mistake for Rhoda to return to NY. She and Brenda should have gone to some other place together, like LA, and maybe opened a business. Having Rhoda marry was a big mistake, especially to such a flat character as Joe, played by bad actor David Groh. The writers erred by not having a good portion of the series take place in a workplace, where there are opportunities for rich characters and funny situations. As executed, Rhoda is just a bundle of Jewish female neurosis.

There is no privacy in marriage. Wth. You want privacy, don’t marry.

Joe is a typical man child and Rhoda ia typical insecure woman sacrificing just not to be single. It isnt really a comedy

What is wrong with Rhoda this grown woman is sooo insecure She open someone else's mail these two should have dated longer then 2 weeks This show is so sad
