I Love Brenda ! She is such a cute character and the actress is adorable. love this show.

I think that was the funniest episode! the slapstick was brilliant and it was about Brenda and her character is absolutely watchable, I really love her character!

Brenda is so great! Loved this one, never saw it before. Loved how she was trying to eliminate the others.."Did you have onions for lunch?" I laughed so hard.

Haha, it's funny to see Brenda in aggressive mode! She's usually so passive and down on herself that it's cute to see the tiger in her!

Omg, who amongst us recalls “sandal foot” pantyhose? I’m verklempt. So funny and poignant of the times.

I love Nancy Walker as she lovingly looks at Brenda through her torturous decision …..especially when she says I Want To Win

3:36 Is that a Gucci handbag? 4:47 Brenda's Gaucho pants and tan cowboys boots...I had the same! Then Ida says she would have been more comfortable in the Earth shoes she bought her! 9:21 Brenda's Western shirt is back in style. I Love 70's fashion!

Ida, Rhoda and Brenda were one of the great trios in TV history.

My little boy had a pair on Earth Shoes. They were leather with rubber soles & molded to chubby feet. Very cute. Mom was wearing platforms, on the other hand. 😁

I liked this episode. I think Julie had fun getting to push Brenda really to new limits. Im wondering if it was ad libbed when she picked up Ida. Nancy Walker looked so surprised.

Yeah, me too. Julie Kavner looks just as good today when she did in the 70's!!

Ida and Rhoda making a wishbone out of Brenda, lol. 🤣. Rhoda won the contest as Miss Hempel's (not certain if I have the right name) Department Store in Minneapolis on the MTM show. ❤😊

RHODA forgot how she was . When she was competing in the MS HEMPLE contest

Ahh, they have Rhoda back in the boho look w the head wrap.

Best ending that could have been written.

I want some campus boots like Brenda's!

At the end of the bank teller contest they called Rhoda's apartment for the results. WHY??? Brenda has her own phone in her apartment. I get it was the 70s and most people didn't have an answering machine but COME ON.

Rhoda's hair and clothing at the beginning were so great. Love how she does her bun. Later with the red and black hair tie was also really cool. She's a great dresser. Brenda trying to get the others to lose self confidence due to bad breath or a run in their stockings was rather low, I didn't like that.

Rhoda is always giving advice She isnt always right

This show was cancelled midseason because producers lost sight of what direction the show should go in. They knew, when the return of Martin and Ida, the ratings continued to decline . The Neilson ratings were paramount in determining the fate of the shows life expectancy. How do they gauge what viewers are watching is a frightening point. How did/do the networks know what each family home is watching at any given time. There has to be a type of invading people's privacy in order to obtain this information. How come everyone has accepted the fact that there is an organization keeping tabs on certain aspects of our day to day lives. Does it stop there, or does this organization (government?)know much more about us than we think. 🤔😱🙄

The girl from the Scarsdale branch is played by the same actress who played the would be roommate Patricia in the first episode of Three's Company. She was very funny in that role :-)

Close my eyes and I hear marge. Lol. I know Julie doesn’t really like doing that character but she cashed in. She’s worth millions now. Lol.

Everyone was out of character in this episode. Didnt work for me. Love the clothes

The thing that is kind of unfortunate about Julie Kavner is that she is antisocial to the point where she fiercely guards her privacy. Valerie Harper stated many a time that Julie always hated being recognized in public. She's incredibly talented but is one of those actors who has a disconnect between the public (who love her work) and the work she does. Oh well, Hollywood is weird.

Why would bank call Rhoda's looking for Brenda? Also, they never call the losers, lol.

NO ONE MENTIONS HOW PRETTY BRENDA IS.

Earth shoes!

Rhoda was always more of a mother to Brenda, lol if I had a sister like that it would drive me nuts

Rhoda was such a pain in the ares this episode

I love it to

Anyone know who's kiddo drew the two pictures Brenda has in her kitchen? They used to be over by the big bed. They have to be by someone's child connected to the show.

Question, does she look weird in the opening credits head shots? I’m really getting into this show.

Is Phillis Katz playing the contest winner any relation to producer Allan Katz?

Where exactly is uptown, midtown and downtown in New York? I hear this vague location in all the movies and tv series.

Ida not ready for sandalwood pantyhose

18:35 that woman was great... lol very believable

Minsk belarus lol

That's what she gets for trying to eliminate the other contestants.

This must be before security shutters rip valerie

This wasn't the Brenda we know and love. This was some lowdown jerk sabotaging the other girls. Rhoda and Ida created a Frankenstein monster bent on winning by any means, LOL. Dopey script writing strikes again. Kit McDonough (playing Cathy Davis here) could have been the lead in her own sitcom in the late 1970's. She was _always_ solid in any show she appeared in. Good timing, funny voice.

This episode is an example of the writers breaking their characters. Making Rhoda annoyingly pushy, Ida wimpy, Brenda ambitious. It does not work.

more like a 22 waist!

think they were trying to tell us about the twin towers in the show's intro

they really could not go there go your sister rules a say that can not have

These shenanigans are so out of character for Brenda. This show keeps getting worse! (Yet I keep watching...just can't let go of Rhoda(:)

Brenda does t wear a bra ?? They are drooping down so low lmao

So dated, isn't it? The writers had clearly run out of steam.

the intro theme music to season 4 is weird...don't like it at all. I do like the show
