I love Valerie Harper. What a fighter! She was given a death sentence to, and that lasted for many many years. She’s tough as nails, and sweet as honey. I will miss her acting on Mary Tyler Moore, and all the other things she did.

I like this show and enjoyed seeing Rhoda’s vibrant personality and infectious spirit. The more I watch her, the more likable and beautiful she is. Great acting aside, this show could have been titled A Series of Unfortunate Events.

The dynamic between Rhoda and Earl makes me think of all those rom-coms and the blurry line between romantic gestures and stalking

Lol.... Yeah, my brother and i have joked about the discussion that happened after "The End" of Sleepless in Seattle.....lol Sam: "So, that was you in the middle of the street?" Annie: "yes" Sam: "How did you know what I look like? Where I'd be?" Annie: Sam: *Sam thinking Victoria's hyena laugh wasn't so bad after all* lololol 🤣

Rhoda unfortunately was cancelled. Read Valerie Harper's "I, Rhoda" book she talks about it more in her book. Valerie Harper deserved to have a final episode of Rhoda.

Because "Rhoda" was a top ten hit during the 1975-1975 and 1975-1976 seasons. At the start of the 1976-1977 season, the writers and producers decided to have Rhoda and Joe separate and eventually divorce. Audiences hated it, and the rating for the 1976-1977 season plummeted to #33. It rose somewhat to #21 for the 1977-1978 season, good enough to be renewed for another season. However, the 1978-1979 season was a disaster. "Rhoda" was #95. Pull in that kind of rating, and you don't get more chances and you don't get a specially written finale. You're gone. This particular episode was never even shown during the first run 1978-1979 season. The last four episodes weren't. "Rhoda" didn't get a full five seasons. During the fifth season, it was canceled after nine episodes, and four were shot but never aired, except in syndication.

I'm in the minority on this, but I actually prefer the later seasons. Harper did some HELLA work in the transitional season three that was overshadowed by the intense blowback from having Rhoda separate with her landmark wedding still fresh in viewers' minds. By the fourth season, the show had evolved into a different sitcom that was very unique at the time by having explored separation and divorce as it had -- and through a lead character. But it was CBS that really killed the show by moving it to Saturdays with no support for a half-season (ultimately cancelling it with four episodes left to air). I could imagine that being quite demoralizing for all involved after having just returned to the Top 25 in its Monday night time slot.

Carlton’s little interludes always puts a smile on my dial. Funny how such a presence can make an impact… never get to see him clearly in the cameo roles… and I don’t think that was him either, just a stand in. We all need some silliness in our lives every now and again. I would be curious to see if his lines were ab libbed or as written. Funny guy 😊

For the life of me I just can't figure out why they took vibrant Rhoda who wore vibrant colors and stylish clothes and in season 5 had her wearing dull, drab, colorless granny wardrobe. The writing in season 5 seemed to be an intentional slide into horrible. I have to believe Valerie Harper knew the writing was on the wall for failure.

@zimjun7 4 жыл бұрын

it's probably because she feels that her life is going down in a spiral. Nothing WORSE than losing someone you really love and then It's down hill from there on. The writers likely made that confirmed. It's like "back to the usual happy horse sh*#!" with the undesirables yet once again. And again. and again and again.....It would make me miss Joe and be angry all the more!

Rhoda to seem to have an aversion for anyone who liked her. Earl was annoying but in the end she went out with him for coffee. She had so many bad dates why was she so resistance with him or Johnny Venture? I know that is the story line but it really makes one wonder what was she really looking for? In the terrible "Mary and Rhoda" movie they had her divorced once again, so you have to wonder what the real deal was her. If I recall she was like that on MTM as well

@@pathough2100 I understand that but wonder what would motivate writers to create such a character. Speaking of character, throughout the series Rhoda seems to make issues out of small things, like when her friends couldn't get together or when she needed to borrow money and refused from Joe at first

UGH! Benny, why Benny?! He's so boring, etc., etc. Also, whenever he and Brenda kiss it's like little kid boyfriend and girlfriend touching lips. I don't know if they kiss in this episode or not but in the previous episodes, just yuck. I'm glad there is only 1 more episode to endure after this. I stuck with it after it became so lame a couple of seasons ago or so in hopes it would get better. I watched it as a kid but don't really remember it. No wonder. I remember a lot of TMTMS. I must add, I love Rhoda, Brenda, Ida, and Martin and I wish Gary was on the show until the end.
