Thats so cool you found the shows I grew up with. ! I just love that you like them. I wish I had a time machine to take us back to the 70s. Life and people were really like these actors portrayed them. So easy to make friends and have actual conversations. And being different was accepted , people weren't canceled. You could call a friend across town at 3 am to come help you if your car was broke down and they didn't get mad. People were really nice and friendly and helped each other. Friends couch surfing was a regular thing. It was great !

@@RepentfollowJesus 2024 cell phones took over my friend

Agreed!!!😂

One of my favorite shows

@@alteredillusions100 oh my goodness sane here. When I'm depressed I watch The Facts of Life from season 6 on then I Love Lucy, Rhoda, The Lucy Show, The Mary Tyler Moore show and Friends.

@@Christian_Ada1 I like the facts of life, I love Lucy, and Mary Tyler Moore.

Why do you say that?

Heels.

I could not do heels for that long, but Rhoda looks great 👍

I wore high heeled boots all the time in the 70s and 80s. They were comfy. The wedge heels with cork or rope were comfy too. Thats probably part of what's wrong with my back now.

Uh oh what’s wrong with your back? My mom wore pointy toe shoes and messed up her feet so me and my twin sis make sure not to make that mistake! Open toe shoes are best:)

They spoke a close variation of that in and around the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles in the late seventies, early eighties too. It was nicknamed 'Valley girl' speak and when I moved there from Michigan in 1979, color me astonished to have met gals who really spoke that way. I thought they were putting me on!

Very true....combined with the Australian High Rising Terminal.

My daughter and I a few years ago got tired of hearing some girls talk like that, we were in dressing rooms next to each other trying stuff on and started talking like that to each other for laughs.

I’d MUCH prefer he goes, she goes than LIKE every other word! 🤯😵😵‍💫

Yes: photos of my ex husband who was in his twenties in the seventies show him looking almost identical. That was an iconic look for males in that decade.

Benny’s too. (I know a fellow who still sports the wings) 😎

I know! Every guy in every club looked like that!

@@cynthialyman2636 God bless them, they were still new to fashion freedom then.

Yep and this look carried on into the early 80 s :)

Those were exactly what we wore then. Talk about body con! 80% wore these High waisted fairly thin denim fabric and skin tight throughout except below the knee.

Perfectly expressed. No knowledge then about body issue trauma.

I ate . I was a little plump at 14. By 15 it started coming off because I was in heels at all times and extremely active. Later I lost to the point of underweight because of my nerves living with a sadistic sociopath. I couldn't keep anything down. I finally got away from him. That was the early 80s. My poor body was so depleted. Its a wonder I didn't die from lack of potassium. I could only sip water. And lay in bed. I was dying. And my teeth got bad and made me sick. And my hair started falling out. 10 or so years later I started taking 3 handfuls a day of vitamins. My hair looked good. But then traumas hit left and right and my hair has been falling out and my skin dry and pre diabetes. Its awful. I should have stayed on the vitamins. At least I quit smoking in 99 or 2000. The things we did to ourselves or allowed to be done to us or went through. But the 70s were very good for me. Early 80s were awful.

*mix up

Indeed. He was handsome and cute.

Correct 💯 % Benny sucked as a character and the guy Buktenica is one of the most horrible actors of all time!!

I csnt get past his clothing. and hair. i renember guys that looked that nerdy way

thank you :-))) Benny is a horrible cast and kinda makes Brenda look dumb

Gary was a creep around women. Yes Benny was awkward not a creep. I'd take Benny any time over Gary.

It's still going strong. Saw it at Starbucks today with a group of girls.

She made it easy to make fun of her. lol

“Hollow” describes perfectly how the show devolved in it’s arc.

​@@g-girl9867 *its arc 🙂

I like it better without Joe.

In Season 5 Rhoda and Brenda were both too thin.

I think in the scene on the settee beginning at 8.42, her face is whiter than her neck. It is like they have tried to make her face look whiter.

@@BigSCTVfan Agreed. That thin does not suit them. I think it affected their performance, the weight loss. Starvation diets. Not their natural body weight. Too bad what hollyweird does to women with real bodies. I’m sure they struggled to look that thin on film. No wonder Kavner stayed with the voice over work....

Meir Wise Tina reminded me of a Brooklyn version of Phoebe

That was already out of style by ‘78. lol. It’s funny that she used it

Those are photos from the late 70s… as someone who’s seen many photos of a young Valerie Harper, those were taken during the shows run.

They were building both at the time. Saw it from New Jersey. Day by day they got a little bit taller. Heartbreaking. 🥀

Back in the day it was just friends.

@@cathleensmith4717that’s what bromance means. 😁 very good friend and nothing more

Your opinion is certainly valid and I totally agree. Too much emphasis is on the weight loss for these two. But what I also see is that they lost something along with the weight. They were struggling to stay thin and not happy. Comes across in the acting unfortunately.

It's probably supposed to be a xmas jumper, but it was shown in March, and it's not a xmas episode. Perhaps it's supposed to make him look sillier and more simple than he already does.

Americans call it a “ sweater”-Brits call it a”jumper”! LOL

8 and probably more if the show didn't end.

Yeah, she was annoying.

Yep... bad acting.

@Berry Harbour Uhh, no she wasn't

It’s the way the color rendered on the film they used

She looks dead 😅

She was starving most likely. Hollyweird made her get emaciated. Her personality went with the “moomoos”. Imho.

Totally agree. The brand dropped the ball. As Howard Stern says: “They jumped the shark”.

He was on a lot *of things

@@nancyhowell4505 Thanks; it's been corrected.

Nope... it's Carlton...

I agree! Benny & the guy Playing him are si annoying & he has no talent!! Jack is so annoying as well . If I had a boss like that I’d tell him to go f**k himself!!

@@dannydougin3925no. I thought he was always goofy and funny and cute. :)

+mella mell ? Valerie Harper's eyes are green. Nancy Walker's hair color is red. The rest of the cast has brown hair and brown eyes, the most common eye and hair color.

Benny is a close second

Exactly

No, I like Gary.

I liked Gary although he was a bit idiotic. lol. However I agree about Benny.

people fight sometimes. that is reality. I like the way they always find a good resolution on the series

I like to blame Nancy Lane , the actress , but in a case like this, especially for the build up to the final scene where Brenda and Rhoda are mocking her, the directors and show runners are responsible for that horrible performance .

@@thomasmagnum3588 That's how much I did not like that character... I did not care enough to find out the name of the actress.

*Rhoda 🙂
