My parents had a new stereo as that, during my teens, in the late 1970s, but theirs worked instantly, it just had to be plugged in. Nothing complicated. The receiver had an 8 track player and radio; the record player was a seperate mechanism. All of it played from two speakers. It had a good sound. Mom still has it, and it all still plays.
I wish we would’ve kept our record player. We had a some really nice records, some from the 60’s and 70’s. I should’ve kept it when my dad announced he was going to chuck it.
That's interesting. When I was 14 my parents gave me their old Hallicrafters multiband radio that they'd had since the '40s. I used to listen to short-wave broadcasts on it from all over the world. But that's probably not interesting. Also we had a coal furnace. The truck used to come by every month in the winter and dump coal into the cellar through the window. But that's probably not interesting.
@@ericminch I always wanted one of those "World Band" radios. When I lived closer to the beach in the early 1970's my buddies across the street had one, and one day while he had it tuned just right, he picked up a radio station in Havana!
@@ericminch I find it all very interesting. My dad always loved his short band radio. My Grandma had a cool furnace and the truck came and dumped the cold through the Cellar Doors outside. What else did you say. Bring them back memories
Old girl needed to learn when someone don't want to be bothered with you, and the other one was being disrespectful just inviting people to live with them. Smh.
This episode is ridiculous. Brenda needed to throw both Patty and Sandy out. Sandy had the nerve to let Patty stay in the apartment w/o consulting Brenda first. It was Brenda's apartment. Then Brenda moves in with her sister and husband which was totally ridiculous. But that apt was too small. But it was a sitcom.
I actually knew someone who spoke like Patty. Maybe the writer's knew the same person and mimicked her here. I couldn't stand her, and eventually stopped the friendship.
Yep. Drove people crazy if you touched it. But when I was real young and got my first records, I touched the vinyl and it never seemed to hurt them. Just dulls the shine.
I've been blessed to be roommate free for 5 years now 😃 Roommate situation isn't bad when you already know and like each other. And you have excellent communication between you.
Its five am. Nobody to talk to. So im commentimg. I just noticed as many times as i have seen this episode, the wall paper matches a square in the blocks in her quilt. Exactly. Wonder if the wallpaper is fabric. Hmm. The things you think of when you cant sleep. Sorry. But it helps the algorithm. 😊 i was a teen then so its like talking to friends on here. ❤
I haven't gotten up to their break up yet but so far it seems like Rhoda isn't really interested in Joe like before and he is starting to notice, then when he leaves she'll want to make it work after the fact
Lol yep the sound of silence. C'mon Joe. I used to put everyone's component system stereos together. Had two frieds that called the salesman to put it together lol. Had to move it so i fixed it up . Its simple. Lol
Lots of household product brand names in the jokes in the series. I wonder if they got paid for them? And lots of weight gain jokes. Interesting snapshot of the 70s.
Yep. That definitely would cause issues in a relationship. Rhoda and her sister had the same issue. Choosing to pleasing people over their own needs and desires. Definitely can be an issue with any relationships that you try to develop, and REALLY can make yourself unhappy as well. It's NOT a healthy, pleasant, or normal way to live. It's pretty darn ridiculous. There mother was the cause of it. Yes. It's just a show. I know that, but it's very realistic. And it's the root of many people's issues. SMH.
5:07 I would love to have that vintage neckercheif Melanie is wearing. That very one, not one like it... I would wear it tucked in as an ascot to the polls on General Election days with french blue dress shirt and navy melton sport coat and blue jeans.
Well you have to learn how to create boundaries, and learn that it's okay to say no. For your sake. You have to choose to NOT be a people pleaser. You only need to worry about surrendering to God, and being obedient to Him and Him ALONE. You DON'T owe ANYONE or ANYTHING an explanation, or whatever the case maybe.
Sad isn't it - how hard we worked to achieve that perfect stereo sound. Bass was essential. And now the musak is not worth it. Tinny 'fizzy drink' musak.
Go to a French restaurant.. they serve French food. Why haven’t you looked it up on Google? Yes, I’ve been to French restaurants many times.. French food is delicious!
Friends slept in the same bed back then. Why take the mattress off the bed? Sometimes we had 3 in the bed. I always wondered why Rhoda and Mary couldn't pile in on her pull out couch when Rhoda had to stay a few days.
Rhoda needs to think of her own life in this ep, if she had focused on her marriage and been more romantic toward Joe, their marriage might have lasted. Brenda was very intrusive on Joe and Rhoda. I would have told Patty to shut up and get the hell out the first day. That Sandy is a pain, too.
My son Raymond informed me the same thing with CD's. Geesh, a friend's daughter said, when I spoke of records, "What's a record?" Arrrggghhh...getting really old.
She did great for herself than she could have done as a touch and go spinoff tho' she "deserved" it. As Marge Simpson she won the lottery and certainly deserved it.!
WHY do American sitcoms ALWAYS write in one of those yadda yadda yadda characters. Bad enough she bathers on but the pitch of her voice. Did the actress take a slug of Helium?!
How do they think they can entertain people with an episode like this? Annoying persons are as annoying in fiction as they are in real life. Lack of fresh ideas usually bring up the obnoxious.
Sandy is my least favorite character that ever appeared on this series. Seeing and hearing her is not unlike experiencing Freddy Kruger's fingernails dragging across a chalk board. I'm probably alone in this estimation. And in this episode she needed to be shaken violently and yelled at about her ridiculous and nervy behavior, LOL.
Why is Brenda sleeping in the guest bed? Brenda has been shown numerous times sleeping in the bed behind the curtains. I know it's done to be able to do the skit but I so dislike it when they treat the audience like a mindless twit with no memory.
MTM in all their shows had characters with no backbone who lets ppl walk all over them and it was supposed to be comedy. Brenda, Mary, and even Bob at times ...it's frustrating to watch not funny at all.
As annoying as Sandy can be, think about this...she got on thirty something and Brenda never got on a regular show again.I can't stand anyone who talks alot, but luckily I never knew anyone like Sandy's blond pal.I thought it was funny...'I thought it was a bicentennial minute' when Brenda first saw Sandy with her pal.I was a freshman in high school during 1976 when those bicentennial minutes were on tv.

This is such a great series. Reminiscences of days gone by….. 😍 THANK YOU.
I am enjoying these episodes so much ! Watching with my sisters in the 70’s!! Good times ❤😂
Yessss
So true! I also grew up with Records and CD's. Does anyone remember 45's? I had a lot of them. I loved the 70's.
I had 45s , lps, and 8 tracks then cassettes .
I still have a bunch of them now. 😁
Imagine there was a time when you could live alone in an apartment in Manhattan on a bank teller's salary.
Are they in Manhattan? I was never quite sure
@@pamolson3305 Yes their building is in Manhattan and their parents live in the Bronx.
Not an apt more like a closet

Record Players! Takes me back. I loved mine. Happy teen with a record player. I loved buying records.
I never used them as a teenager, as by then there were CDs, but I bought a record player. My 4-year-old likes them big round things that play music.
Yes the cassette players and Crazy Eddie!!! Miss that.
I miss the big speakers!😁
"Crazy Eddie " was some character!😁

Brenda is a doll!
Rhoda's response to him talking about handling a record, is the EXACT same response that came to my mind.
Oh you mean being a bitch?
He just sounded so condescending instead of giving instructions
Melanie Mayron - decades before she played Melissa Steadman on Thirty Something. Love this!
I was wracking my brain trying to figure out where I had seen her before. Thanks!
Lynne Miller and she was in Car Wash.
She was also in Hustling 1975. It's here on youtube. I've loved her since seeing it as a teen. She'll break your heart.
Oh! I used to love Thirty Something. Don’t recall her in that. That was a good program, wonder why it never went into syndication.
@@g-girl9867 Michael's cousin, Melissa, in the show. She was a main character. I am disappointed too that its not syndicated.
''I think she was abandoned by her parents and raised by a pack of chipmunks.'' ROFL XD
So funneh. :)
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Talk without commas....."
BRILLIANT
HA!
I actually knew someone who spoke like Patty.
Maybe the writer's knew the same person and mimicked her here.
I couldn't stand her, and eventually stopped the friendship.
Without commas, and definitely without periods!
Joe is 100% right about how you should handle records.
"What's a record?" L.O.L.
@@eloiseockert6561 A vinyl frisbee that plays music.

my brother used a static frre lint cleaner record brush sprayed with alcohol.. before he played a song each time. RIP Richard M.
I don't like ANY roommates. I would rather bankrupt myself paying my own rent.
It does. Just a matter of time.
I rather have a roommate than to live in a homeless shelter though. Most roommates are more considerate than in this show.
I've been blessed to be roommate free for 5 years now 😃 Roommate situation isn't bad when you already know and like each other. And you have excellent communication between you.
Roommates are a pain
👍👍
Brenda, Brenda, Brenda....time to grow a backbone.
I love how nerdy Sandy is. A safe roommate at least to live with.
Sandy was In Thirtsomething!
I wonder if David Groh actually liked what Valerie Harper was doing to get him to forget Brenda was there. He probably didn't hate it😊
This episode pissed me off. Brenda was being so taken advantage of with those two idiots🤨
"Oh, my gawd ... she's only up to 1961." LMAO
I LOVE THE SHOW.
It’s great!

She also was in the 1982 political thriller "Missing" with Sissy Spacek.
I knew she looked familiar.
I hardly recognized her! You're right.
@@georgfriedrichhandel4390 WHAT?!?!?
Joe was so adorable!!
I would've climbed him like a tree.
He was for sure, but rewatching these especially the early episodes is making me realize he really had anger issues, and that really wasn't cute:(
@@prettyhamburger6462 JOE did, not the guy that played him. :) i think that’s how he played him because that’s what the producers wanted
I LOVVVVVVVE BRENDA!
Me too.
She and Rhoda were so important to the show but Brenda would have been direky missed if she left
I haven't gotten up to their break up yet but so far it seems like Rhoda isn't really interested in Joe like before and he is starting to notice, then when he leaves she'll want to make it work after the fact
Wish I could find the episode with Ruth Gordon, where she stole all the sugar cubes at Rhoda's flat ,that was so funny😆
ruclips.net/video/6hxLCoZPT9A/видео.html
LOVE Ruth Gordon. Favorite cult classic Harold and Maude. Seen it a dozen times over the years.
That episode is called Kiss Your Epaulets Goodbye (Season 2 Episode 1), and it's on RUclips along with all the other episodes of Rhoda.
24:22 wow to bad there wasn't a nomination category 4 guests back then she rocked ALL those lines talking faster then the speed of sound lol
roomates like that are so annoying!
roommates
Lol yep the sound of silence. C'mon Joe. I used to put everyone's component system stereos together. Had two frieds that called the salesman to put it together lol. Had to move it so i fixed it up . Its simple. Lol
Brenda could move in with us. She cooks!!😊
Lots of household product brand names in the jokes in the series. I wonder if they got paid for them? And lots of weight gain jokes. Interesting snapshot of the 70s.
Poor Joe....now I see why he left Rhoda. He would want to do special dates with her and Rhoda would rather disappoint Joe over anyone really
Nope - the only reason why they divorced was because the writers thought Rhoda was funnier when she was single.
Yep. That definitely would cause issues in a relationship. Rhoda and her sister had the same issue. Choosing to pleasing people over their own needs and desires.

A good commentary on clueless people like Patty! There are plenty of them out there.
Not clueless, entitled and use this act to get what they want

what are u all 12 years old..this is classic show.. look up joe he passed away at 68...
I remember that. Very sad.
Joe looks like Tom Jones
LOL
Does he have a salami in his Hagar slacks too
??
Brenda and i said "sounds of silence" at the same time..... Lol
Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be!
I also have the same problem standing up to people

sounds of silence , ha , ha , chatty patty , good 1 ! thanks
Ha ha...that's the girl from Thirty Something.
Joe so wants to get it on!
I think the two of them had chemistry in real life. So sad he's gone now and so is she.
sandy is Marsha from car wash
Brenda is the voice of Marge Simpson- she is now making big bucks. Voice over jobs are lucrative.
You are weird. Very strange.
Kavner is a multimillionaire from doing the voice of Marge (plus her sisters Patty, Selma, and their mother).
Oh, those darn party lines days.
