Julie Kavner; from Rhoda's sister for five years, to Marge Simpson for 32 years running. What a career.

I miss Gary when he left season 5

Rhoda's hair changed in season 5 and so did the magic of the entire show :(

As often as I've watched this show through the yrs., I've never noticed how many body issues, Ida caused her daughters to have.

I loved her working at the costume shop- they canceled it to soon 😭

Even Chandler Bing's girlfriend Janice was never as annoying as Tina.

"I'm fine thank you." 😂😂😂😂 I love you Rhoda.

Rhoda looks like she's wearing an embroidered tablecloth, literally. She still looks cute though.

Rhoda is a beautiful woman, but her style this season really tests it.

I adore 😍 Valerie ☀️ Harper 💙.

I love the part with the tray and coffee pot. That didn't seem like it was in the script. Amazing that Ida had no reaction though!

It is amazing to me how Valerie and Nancy (Rhoda and Ida) started their rapport on one of the very first episodes of the Mary Tyler Moore Show and continued it and developed it into something so amazing over EIGHT seasons of TV. Mary herself never had a shred of anything like that. Yeah she and Rhoda were a great pair of friends but the mother-daughter dynamic between Rhoda and Ida was utterly convincing. They captured the Jewish element DEAD-ON...even though neither Valerie nor Nancy was Jewish.

I don't blame Ida for moving on.... Rhoda and Brenda shouldn't blame her either, since the whole sitcom was pretty much based on the girls finding companionship and love. That's all Ida really wants is a little companionship. Since Martin feels he needs more out of life. And I really wished they would have left Brenda with Gary instead of what she's stuck with now. I hope Martin comes back.

Ida seriously could've had her spinoff

I liked Gary, he was my favorite for Brenda, but he's been unceremoniously dumped from the show with a passing remark by that AWFUL unfunny Tina.

Nancy Lane from a "Chorus Line" ....love her!!

GREAT SHOW ❤

The character "Tina" played by the fabulous Nancy Lane!

Rhoda has some sexy toned arms there like many 70s gals!!

Why is Rhoda trying to look like she is 60 years old (first scene)

I always thought that Rhonda would maybe marry again. Or least be engaged by end of the show they never let her go out again.

Rhoda looks a little frumpy in this episode

Rhoda's first dress, the white one, was beautiful. That other dress, however, looks like a full length skirt pulled up to her armpits. Ick.

Tina is a nut... but forget her; I LOVE the way Rhoda talks. The way she says "totally" love love loveeee!!!!

Why did Gary / Rob Silver leave the show?

They made her look Older then she was

That is a nice looking man. He was familiar so I looked him up. He was on a bunch of shows I watched as a kid.

Actually, Rhoda used to play tennis with Mary on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Tina was singlehandedly the worst character ever!

Charles Seibert from Trapper JOhn!

The best of the best💞

Something sexy about Rhoda getting worked up and ticked off here ......

9:07 Carlton the doorman voice is Garfield the cartoon cat! :)

Which episode did Gary leave? I watched everyone of season 4 n didn’t see it?

What happened to Ramone?!

ahaha 3:16 "that Girl is equal only to a Miner bird!", who said the funny one-liners were slipping!

Oh my god Is that Cher

I would L🤗V E to have Carlton for my doorman!!🚪😁❤️❤️ It was clear that the writers were running out of ideas. Mom and Dad no longer together 😩🤷 Com'onnnnnnn 😩😩😩 🤦🤦🤦 It was enough that they got rid of Joe - so unnecessary and disappointing. I wonder if they ever realized that was a Huge mistake.🤦😖🤨😖🙄 02.08.2022

Upsetting how the ratings dropped after they split up Rhoda and Joe. I thought the series was ok with her being married but also liked her being single. I didn't like the shift of the ficus being Brenda and Benny. Loved Ida being back

its the same as ping pong only the ball's fuzzier lol

Seriously, is this Tina character on something? Nobody talks that much, without help.

Why on earth would that handsome man be - dating Ida ? Lol

It's a shame Gary Levy (Ron Silver) wasn't in season 5. I also grew even more irritated with Benny and Jack. Rhoda's hair was just wrong. And the whole Ida and Martin separation was lame. I didn't even like this version of the theme song. It was such a great show that just lost its way.

Erik, There wasn’t anyone like Rhoda

Omg! Ida's date!!!

Definitely would have gone downtown

I saw the comments on Rhoda's unflattering wardrobe. Then I flipped through my Class of 1978 yearbook. Yep, the fashions were pretty dreadful. Girls wearing potato sack "disco" sundresses, guys with permed hair and leisure suits.

Noticed in these season 5 shows, even the studio audience doesn't find Tina very funny. She rarely gets more than a few awkward chuckles.

Tjna was super burnout

I don't know why "Rhoda" ended too soon. I think for some reason it wasn't getting the ratings anymore and when that happens, the network will pull the plug on it. I think the show had a great trajectory, with the Joe divorce and moving back into single life and working with Jack Doyle. But the Brenda-and-Benny thing didn't work. Thankfully we never saw them get married but that's where it was headed and that was going to be a dead end. But the earlier supporting characters who provided a lot of good comedy were long gone by then - Gary, Sally, Nick Lobo, Johnny Venture. The end was inevitable.

this show started out so strong, but by season 5 it was a train wreck, the characters became caricatures, and too many unnecessary new characters were added : none of them were likeable and they never seemed to meld into a cohesive ensemble. The only saving grace was the amazing comedic talents of Nancy Walker and Valerie Harper and their chemistry with one another. Even Brenda, who was originally very good, became annoying and cliched by the 5th season.

Wow Season 5 was terrible. Such a shame how the show started SO strong & promising the first 2 seasons only to end a total disaster.

OH MY GOSH!!!!! Garfield the cats cartoon voice!!l

Rhoda's jealous.. Good for Ida.

They shouldn’t have dumped hot Joe 😮

A festival of guilt ahahahaha

Cher look alike

As good as MTM and this show are, the inconsistencies are a flaw that I find annoying and insulting to our intelligence..The end of last season Martin declares how Ida is his life, this season he runs off to Florida and Ida is dating ??? come on. In MTM actors would reappear in later episodes as different characters, the worst of them being Richard Schaal ( Valery Harper's then husband) being recast as his own brother but is said to better looking and a better catch than his brother. That's is just lame and a lazy way out. And the abrupt departure of Gary with a brief explanation coming from all people Tina ( she goes she goes lol ) that was just disrespectful to the actor and the character.

You're right

The writers where obviously running out of ideas🤦🏾‍♀️

God. Rhoda lost weight. why do they put her in the most unfattening unbecoming outfits The stylist isnt doing their job here. Her look is all over the place every episode. The hair makeup too. This woman is beautiful How could they mess it up so badly. Their idea of boho is like international catalog clothing. They dress her like shes fat and she aint. She looks great glammed. not frumped how old did they think she was.

How utterly IMATURE Brenda is what is Wrong with these TWO VERY IMATURE WOMEN.

Tina may be annoying and a little geeky but at least she's nice. People in real every day life at the work place are cruel to the core, especially nowadays!!!!

Sooo...Tina equals Andrew Dice Clay? Yeah.😣

In the final one season of "Rhoda" (September 23-December 9, 1978) on CBS primetime, most American viewers preferred NBC primetime's "CHiPs" starring Larry Wilcox as Officer Jon Baker, Erik Estrada as Frank Poncherello (Ponch) & Robert Pine as Sgt. Joe Getraer the best, not "Rhoda".

Sheesh! The first season was so good... after that this was unwatchable.

Hiya Rho! God, that gets on my nerves. Lol: )

That Tina would make me scream. Rhoda looks horrid at the starting scene in the costume shop.The first 2 seasons of this were the best. This show wasn't on that long, so it was like the writers knew how many seasons it would last, and they rushed everything together to make sure it all got included. Good grief, it wasn't enough of an error to have Rhoda and Joe divorce, the writers extended the stupidity to Ida and her husband? After 40 years of a good marriage, what was suddenly THEIR problem?? Rhoda was acting stupid when she had her mom and the doc over for supper. In fact, she was acting rude to her mom. Ida isn't 70, either...she is spry and vibrant, and pretty. Rhoda is jealous because she couldn't keep Joe. She acts like a brat on this. And NYC is a huge city, it's not like dating in a town of 200 people. Very few people would notice Ida and the doc in public, nor would they care. I hated that spaghetti strap dress Rhoda wore when she first met her mom's date. It was like a shapeless sack hanging from her shoulders.

I think this is my least favorite episode. The white dress and then the horrible sundress were very unflattering to Valerie. Rhoda's behavior while her mother was with the doctor was rude, vindictive and nasty. Granted Ida had some slams regarding Rhoda's weight but that was not the issue for the writing of Rhoda's behavior. This was a very poorly scripted episode and clear example of the downward talent.

I did not like season 5....

Brenda was hilarious, so wry humored. I liked her boyfriend Benny. Murray the doc is cute. I can't recall his name, but he has been on several sitcoms. Rhoda needs to lay off Ida's date. She is on her mom's side until she meets Murray. Nancy Walker was better looking than Rhoda. The funniest eps were ones with Ida. I watched this new, from premiere to end. That brownish print dress with spaghetti straps Rhoda is wearing when Benny brings the wine to her at her apt., is hidious! Looks like an oversized bag and makes her breasts look sagging. Rhoda has mainly dated losers, and Ida gets a cute doctor. Funny! I never liked Tina or how she talked. Irritating.

Tina.....not fond...not funny

This show has terrible music and some very irritating characters. Brenda included. Her nasal voice is unbearable. Valerie Harper deserved a better show and supporting cast. She is beautiful and a brilliant actress.
