I hate that they cancelled it without us getting to see Brenda and Benny getting married!
Jude Lewis I know
Last one?
This one?
I agree
Well At least we didn’t have to see them getting divorced lol
I can’t believe this is the last episode. Thank you for providing these seasons to us. ESPECIALLY WITHOUT COMMERCIALS!
This show deserved a proper finale.
Yes it did. Valerie even said in her autobio that she wished she'd gotten a final episode to wrap up the character of Rhoda. But it was beyond her control. The ratings had supposedly tanked badly by that point and the network pulled the show during the Xmas holiday hiatus. They never went back after the holidays and it was replaced with some other show. She'd have to wait 22 more years before getting to play Rhoda again!
@@BenjiOrthopedic Where did she play Rhoda again 22 years later ?
@@annasantostefano6826"Mary and Rhoda"... Made for TV movie in 2000.
@@naldy21b oh wow, cool. Thanks 😊
@@annasantostefano6826 You're welcome... 😉
The series is over😔 Truly a time capsule of my childhood, the 1970's😔🙏💜
Rhonda and Brenda great actress and their Mom was hysterical! Ida. And Martin was the peace maker in the family...Great show. I am sorry that they took it off the air. And Rhoda should have had a proper good bye.
Rhoda
Thanks for sharing an awesome piece of entertainment history. There will never be another Rhoda... our Rhoda
I wish we saw Brenda and Benny getting merrierd
Thanks so much for airing these episodes, AND without ads! I LOVED Rhoda as a young teen, watching her first on the Mary Tyler Moore show, then getting her own show. I didn't want to be Mary, I wanted to be Rhoda. Rhoda was beautiful, so funny, and I loved her style. I even wore headscarves like her for a time. The main cast was wonderful, with Valerie Harper, Julie Kavner, Nancy Walker & occasionally Harold Gould, and who could forget, Lorenzo Music' Carlton the Doorman! They all had such wonderful chemistry together, all perfectly cast. Then, we had other characters that popped up in different seasons, that were just wonderfully funny, like Nick Lobo with his accordion, Johnny Venture, Gary Levy and others. I think they made a mistake when Rhoda married Joe, and although David Groh, was handsome, he was miscast. I still love shows like this, it's very nostalgia and they bring back many memories. Thanks again!
Thank you for posting these watched all 5 seasons and it’s helped me handle 2020 and a little of 2021.
And 2022
And 2023
Such a shame they never gave Rhoda the finale the show deserved
Exactly. We never got to see Brenda and Benny get married instead RHODA gets the axe by CBS. They could've fulfilled the commitment of a full season. The finale could've been the wedding. But instead sagging ratings. Damn it.
Valerie Harper deserved to have a final episode of Rhoda it would of been so amazing if she had that opportunity and I just feel bad that never happened for her.
This episode seemed more like Rhoda was a co-star and Brenda was the star instead of the other way around. I think the last episode should have focused on Rhoda but in this episode she was underused greatly. My opinion.
@@philipdefibaugh5683 I agree with you 💯
@@philipdefibaugh5683They didn’t really know at the time that it would be the last episode.
"Brenda Runs Away" is the 13th and final episode of Season 5 of "Rhoda", and thus the series finale. This episode featured the last appearances of: Rhoda Morgenstern (Valerie Harper), Brenda Morgenstern (Julie Kavner), Benny Goodwin (Ray Buktenica), Jack Doyle (Kenneth McMillman), Carlton the Doorman (Lorenzo Music), and Ida Morgenstern (Nancy Walker).
IT'S A SHAME THAT THIS WAS THE LAST SHOW
I do not know. This episode is so weird and quirky and gentle and so about emotions and ends with Rhoda kissing Ida on the lips and Rhoda saying, "And who says romance has gone out of the movies." It may be a perfect ending to a perfect show.
I think it was there way of saying g thanks to each other for what they did have, second time watching all the episodes and I didn't think the series deserved all the criticism that it has gotten. Many funny LOL moments and beats some of the crap that's been on since 😅
Thanks all people worked Rhoda !!!!!😄😊😉🐼🐘🐒🐵🎈🔮🎈🌇🏭🎉🎆
Thank you for uploading Rhoda it was an awesome show!!!
What happened to Rhoda's beautiful clothes in Season 5? So nice to think of a time when you didn't need to wear a bra. Happy times. Great show, so happy to see it again, thank you.
great show goodbye rhoda and brenda xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This can't be the last one I need closure😩
If you want to close off from Rhoda somewhat crudely than the TV execs did here, you can do a lot worse than checking out all the reunion clips and interviews post-Rhoda. Lovely to hear the behind-the-scenes info and the joy and respect they all continued to share many years later.
The last episode of season 5 and the final episode of the series. They short-changed us and owe all the Rhoda fans 11 more episodes.
What shall I watch now that Rhoda is finished? I'm getting despondent. Woe is me. Maybe, I shall go and watch MTMS just to see Rhoda and Mary again.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm so glad there's someone else that feels the same way I do about Rhoda so I know I'm not weird!
I've got to find something else to watch, too. I actually looked for a couple of things after the previous episode. I've already watched The Nanny, The Class (no longer on here), Frasier, The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Joannie Loves Chachi, and the first couple of seasons of Happy Days (all that was on here) and The Partridge Family (all that was on here.) Now what?
Oh, and Good Morning, Miami. I'm sure there are more series I've watched in the last few years. Ohhh, I think Soap was on here.
Newhart, The Bob Newhart Show, Phyllis, Oh Madeline, to name a few. Day By Day. Any show with Holland Taylor.
I agree....not much of a last show but I sure did enjoy the series. I'm trying to figure out what I'm watching next as well. Thinking Petticoat Junction. Was gonna go to Mary but have seen them all already.
So there you have it. One of the best shows of the 70's went out without a bang but a whimper. This season was the absolute worst. I feel cheated. I didn't get to see Rhoda find a guy, Brenda get married or even a final show with all the original cast members.
Yep just like on Laverne and Shirley
@@sierrabinion7112 very true
My heart was broken
My thoughts exactly.
+Rhoda Morgenstern Thank you (Clap Clap Clap) for making these available...I've been watching the MTM show these last few months on the Sundance Channel. When MTM passed away, I felt like I needed some Rhoda to cheer me up. Wow, these last couple of seasons were rough, though...but I am so happy to know that so many love Mary and Rhoda as much as I
Rhoda was an awesome show such fun to watch great cast all of them Rhoda, Ida, Brenda and wish I had a dad like Rhoda's.
😉
I never saw this series when I was younger, but I think this was better than Mary's show. I view the latter as a spin-off of the Dick vanDyke show, and I realize there was the need to produce a show for the Feminists of the 70's. Think about how she was supposed to be divorced...and Rhoda had to get separated and then also divorced to get rid of the male figure in the show.
I really really love watching these old shows
This thing of cancelling a show mid-series was (and still is) alien to us here in the UK. If a programme ever stinks over here, it still has to run its course. Most often, the entire series has already been filmed in any case. I appreciate the US TV channel executives dealt with competition (in this case the success of CHiPs....a programme that didn't catch on in the UK) but this is brutal on the TV audience. So it was low in the ratings, so what?!? At least finish it properly for those who are still watching!!
I remember Chips, and used to watch it as a young girl in Ireland. Where have the years gone. I'm 54 now 🇮🇪
Lol, chips. Yeah I suppose a Californian motorcycle cop show wouldn't be very relatable in Britain.
Thanks for uploading these episodes. Season 5 went from bad to worse. I wanted to see Rhoda become a successful designer and i wanted her to find a decent guy. Same for Brenda. But the show just seemed to lose direction and energy.
Totally agree with you!
🌻Thank you for all the Rhoda uploads 🙏 I watched it for first time 🙃 Brenda was my favorite 💕she's such a cutie.
absolutely i agree such a good slapstick actor also!
She wants her kitchen enclosed! Fast-forward 20 years and it’s all about the open-concept layout just SO people can watch you cook 😂
@@PrimeDirective101 I have an open kitchen and I hate it...when I cook, which I do everyday I like feeling like I'm in my own space, away from everyone. A little wine, a small T.V. and I'm happy.
I’m all for enclosed kitchens. Otherwise all those cooking oils and odors get into everything.
20 years? This show was over 40 years ago.
@@dolenzmcqueen8316 I hear ya, mama, I feel the exact same way. Love the process of cooking and my time alone with it. It has it’s own special comfort to me.
As disappointing as many posters here are, I think it wasn't that bad as a finale. Getting Rhoda to kiss her mother after all the years of fixed feelings was kind of sweet. I don't think another TV wedding would have made much of a difference.
I need this season to complete my collection!
Julie Kavner looks even thinner in this last episode. I loved her in the Nora Ephron movie "This Is My Life" as a single mother who becomes a stand-up comedian. I wish there were more movies like this with Julie Kavner playing a lead role.
@Martha Milton
Revenge of the Stepford Wives! (1980)
Julie's not the lead but is a major character.
well you can always listen to her voice as march simpson :-)
I like this opening showing her and Brenda all over Manhattan.
I love the jokes around the 'Swedish film' here. Particularly the bit where there's disagreement about the metaphorical 'meaning'of the man in black with the goat. Not the first time an Ingmar Bergman movie has been referenced in an episode of Rhoda. At the time it would've been cool. I suppose now not so many might 'get it', I dunno?
I love Bergman, so.... :)
Thank you.
This and the preceding 3 episodes never got aired originally. They were sold off with the rest into syndication and entered the rerun mill! I don't remember Rhoda reruns airing until the mid 90s, unlike most of the other MTM Enterprises shows that were rerun often. They may have but not on the channels that I had at the time! lol
Brenda looks even thinner here than she did in Season 4.
Yes, not even as attractive this way.
I think she looks great
Must have been Hollywood putting mental anguish on yet another person to lead them down eating disorder road.
@@0lds0ul813 I think you are absolutely right. I’ve been wanting to comment regarding this. Both Brenda (Julie) and Rhoda (Valerie) look terrible in comparison to what we all know are their true body shapes and appearance. There’s nothing left to them in these last two seasons, and they continued to get thinner (especially Brenda) in each episode. What I see and have concern for is the mental anguish and emotional turmoil that must have propelled them to continue to drop more weight. Brenda was so cute as her natural self. And what you see on sitcoms today are the same super thin bodied women but now the studios trick the viewer by throwing fake boobs on the actresses to offset their major thinness. That’s what I think anyway. We’ve learned enough about anorexia over the years since this show was popular to see what was happening here in hollyweird and many young girls and women. I think the dieting and mass weight loss these two phenomenal actresses went through these last few seasons affected their acting and mental flow for the characters. Just my opinion.
G-Girl it effected the mental state of the actresses. I look beyond characters. Julie always resonated with me as a person and I see a lot of hurt within her and it just to me is terrible. The manipulation tactics that go into Hollyweird and how they put it in someone’s head that they are “fat”. It’s disgusting. I wish she had more caring individuals around her because I know and can see she did not . She’s not alone. These A LISTERS that are glorified lead extremely depressing lives. Money doesn’t equate self love and soul satisfaction. If one can find a middle ground to act and still remain true to yourself that’s beautiful. But what I see here is years of hurt and comparing herself to the idea of another. It’s sad and I feel that because I know how that feels only not on that large of a platform. Julie seems like a completely genuinely beautiful person . Valerie ... she seemed more into Hollywood than Julie. Julie struggled with it . You can see that . Well if your empathic you can yaknow ? Anyway knowing all this now kind of makes me not like the show as well. I look at it different. But growing up I watched repeats of it and liked the first two seasons the most .
Valerie looks so hot & gorgeous here!! It’s a shame that this was the last episode & they never had a legitimate farewell episode!! Joe,Justin,Myrna, Nick Lobo,Johnny Venture, Big Sally. & the forever pregnant girlfriend. Her name escapes me. It should have been a great final Episode!! I forgot Gary Levy!!
Susie Alborn was the ever pregnant friend 😄. I was bummed when Gary didn't show up on season 5 but we had to hear, very quickly in one sentence, that he had moved to Chicago. Every character on this show was perfectly cast and so funny! It was almost believable that this was a real group of friends and family. Too bad the shows nowadays aren't funny because of the writers and cast. Laughs are gained from mostly off-color, sexual innuendo jokes or goofy physical stunts that don't take much talent.
thank you for uploading .
Thank you for uploading this video! :-) :-),...
Since when do tenants who rent remodel their apartments?
In the 70’s and 80’s we did it all the time. 👍
The land of television had liberal leases 😂
Soooooo, lm all ova the place in my feelings w this episode
Each one, Brenda, Rhoda & Ida...played this as if "real life" & nailed it!!!!
I 💘 love this one frrfrrfrr....
Still the best girl around Rhoda
Every HGTV show: "I want open-concept for entertaining."
Rhoda: "I hate being watched while I cook."
I'm team Rhoda.
The dropped chicken may be a reference to an urban legend that Julia Child once dropped a chicken or turkey on the floor, picked it up and cooked it. Apparently it was a potato pancake and it only landed on the counter.
Brenda deserved a better guy
She is so sweet
As this was produced by the MTM people… Rhoda’s show just seemed to be behind the 8 ball somewhat considering her spin off was in it’s early days of MTM. I did love most of the casting.By not getting through it’s 5 th season I feel it was trying to stand on it’s last legs. Such a shame and waste of incredible talent… something just went … off … and it derailed slowly. It must have been very hard to film that last episode for the actors, knowing how rough and sudden the decision was for it’s removal. It could have been handled so much better for everyone concerned. It really was a ‘terrific’ show. Ringgg…. ‘It’s Carlton here , your doorman…thanks Carlton… what is it”? Thanks for all the laughs Carlton… you will be missed😊
Hope perms never make a comeback.
It wasn’t a perm - she had stopped straightening her naturally kinky hair. Bad move
lol it was a perm and hopefully they will never make a come back.
Sue B
It was not a perm. Read Valerie’s book. She had naturally kinky curly hair which she had straightened for years.
I know! I had the same unfortunate permed hair style a la ‘78. Hated it from day one. A constant daily struggle to control totally unnaturally created hair.
@@dav1237 I hear what you are saying but I still think she had a perm on top of her naturally curly hair. Women did that.
That so-called enclosure is a throwback to both the old MTM show, and to the Dick Van Dyke show
"Bewitched" and "The Partridge Family" also had similar pass-throughs and "I Dream of Jeannie" had the pass-through with orange glass/plexiglass.
I hate that we didn’t see Brenda get merrierd
thank god she was saved from that looser lol
i like Julie kavnar she steals my heart all the time shame she's a reclusive so nice
Joey S
Who says she's a recluse?!? She's made movies! Worked on Tracey Ulman show many times! Appeared many times on Broadway! Just finished a show there, in fact! Is the voice of Marge Simpson! Many other acting jobs too!
Don't spread rumors and lies you ass!
@@lovingmayberry307 She meant that she stays indoors and runs from her fans. You're the DUMB ASS!
@@lovingmayberry307 She didn't just finish a show there. She hasn't done a play in 8 years!
She doesn’t like fans very much for this reason exactly. She is very nice though . And there is nothing wrong with keeping to yourself.
Would have much rather seen a wedding than this particular episode. Sad that we didn't get to see that
Normally, I like Brenda, but she sure stresses out easy, this episode isn't the only time. I'd hate to be near her during a tornado or a national disaster. Benny is cute, and funny.
benny is revolting !!! that face ? that body ? total looser
Brenda didn't stress easily. How would you like your fiance and your mother planning your whole life and your whole wedding out for you? Wouldn't you want some say in it?
Great show. Valerie Harper is so thin here -- she looks like Linda Lavin -- they are merging here vocally and physically. I like them both, and of course, in reality, they are very different
Funny thing is Harper replaced Lavin on Broadway in “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife” in 2002.
Random fact: Valerie and Linda were in Second Act together way before Valerie was on Broadway
I agree I was a
Faithful watcher and I would have liked seeing Brenda and Benny getting married.
They should do a spin-off with Brenda
I love Rhoda more than MTM. Rhoda was more real than Mary - less perfect and less traditional. The writing was brave and the acting flawless. The problem was the story arcs, and the sudden jettisoning of beloved characters. But it’s still one of the best sitcoms ever written.
17:05 My god... perfect casting there. Silence of the Lambs level creepy.
I'm a 6'5" man, and even I would probably shiver near that dude in the dark.
I can only imagine a woman seeing him stare at her.
Carmen Filipi had a long and impressive career playing weird old men! Wayne’s Workd, The Wedding Singer, Roseanne, and many more.
This show is great but Brenda and Benny have zero chemistry. None.
cause this benny actor looks an acts like a total looser
Shop and auto mechanic guys were good with their hands. Lol
What a great show! I watched the entire Mary series and now Rhoda. Will watch the Mary and Rhoda movie now. Thanks to who posted about that. Any recommendations on what I can watch next? :)
I know its a little late to post, but check out the Lou Grant spin off! Its excellent!
They should do a spin off with Benny and Brenda
I think the earlier season were better
Much better!!
Erik, There wasn’t anyone like Rhoda 😃
I was hoping that Benny was the problem. Never liked him. I miss Gary.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
Ida was something else. Always meddling in her daughters's affairs.
Why would you enclose such a small kitchen?! Itl make it even more claustrophobic.
I agree. Just get a screen or put up some love beads around the kitchen area.
M1k3y Westley 2019, now called a Tiny House ...
@@marthamilton973 love beads!!! We're in 2022 and my TEENAGERS want those. Like it's a new fad or something. Lol.
Legend RIP
I would so appreciate a trip to Israel! However, that was NOT a good trip for Brenda, b/c she would NOT fly.
I just finished the series today. I didn't see it when it was featured in the 70s. I was disappointed how it ended. There wasn't any closure! That's it? No wedding? I really didn't think the last season was their best. I did enjoy most of the characters throughout the series.
Love this song
You're right! That's why she wouldn't fly to see her dad when he was in Ft. Lauderdale
@@Mami_Loca but Brenda had a passport for going to Hawaii and I believe she also went to the Bahamas during the series so I never understood the don't fly thing
Brenda acts like she really doesn't want to marry. She should have had a profound talk with Benny long before. And it is up to the couple how they want their honeymoon. Brenda gets too keyed-up over stuff. I remember this episode from when new.
What a strange way to end a series.
RHODA... Y'ALL COULD PUT SOME MESH FABRIC..UP, AN THEN ITS EASY TO TIE IT TO OPEN..AN HAVE DIFFERENT COLORS...STYLES..
last episode where is the rest??
This was the last episode of Rhoda ever produced. The show actually got cancelled before this one (and the 3 before it) ever aired.
Just hated how they brought in a Lou Grant type. They just kept changing this show until it was horrible to view
Felt like it got cancelled mid season. Odd ending. I used to love that show. What season did joe leave I wonder?
It did. That wasn't supposed to be the final episode.
The show was actually cancelled after the 9th episode of the season "The Total Brenda". The remaining 4 episodes (including this one) were never aired on CBS.
I suspect there were other scripts to finish out the season that never got produced, like Brenda and Benny's Wedding.
Joe left in Season 3.
Incorrect. CBS only ordered 13 episodes for the last season.
TheKoofax - that was odd then - it was popular this 5 th season 💚
i didn’t like her hair the earlier seasons were so much better but still a great show
I thought she rented that place,but if she had a carpenter she must of bought it
Howard Johnsons? 4 got about them.
Yeah, they used to be a staple in the 70's. Funny how people places and things change before you realize they are gone.
I waitressed at one of the Howard Johnsons in Boston MA in what was once called the Combat Zone. You have to know the area, can’t explain it. There I was in my rayon peach dress and white apron and my hair buzz cut to get rid of the hateful perm I had. Great memories.
Didn't the Simpsons do an episode just like this?
The older lady at the movie theater was Dobie Gillis' mother!
The show sucked after Rhoda got divorced
The theme song for this show sucks !!!!
This season's version or just in general?
yeah it does.... awesome show though.
@@LarryLeeMoniz IN GENERAL!!! Especially the second season with the la la la la la ....
Brenda still dressing as a cowhand. Glad this is over. Made it thru all 5 seasons, with skipping episodes and taking long breaks, from the whining and obnoxious and immature characters. Never growing. Sorry Rhoda, still love you, though. Will be watching the reruns of Hogan Family. Rest in Love, Valerie Harper❤
