Yes! All this past weekend. Valerie Harper was such a gem and so hugely talented. How I loved watching Rhoda with my mom. Such a nice memory as mom is a Brooklyn Girl! RIP, dear Valerie. You brought us such joy.
My very first apartment was $310.00 exactly, way back in 1980. It had one bedroom, a VERY small kitchen, with a dining room/living room combo. My blushing bride and I both loved it! We drove a turd brown '72 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with rusted out everything lol! Boy, those sure were great times though. With 20 bucks we could eat for over a week, and we ate good too!
A few weeks ago, my 75-year-old sister told me (78) that my problem was that I was still living in the 70s-and thought we were Rhoda and Brenda! I think she was right! 😜
They should have NEVER got Rhoda and Joe splitting up!! The first two SEASONS were the BEST!! It went downhill after they got Joe and Rhoda split...what a STUPID idea the writers had at that time!!!
Agree, The Producers were wrong, saying they felt Rhoda would be better as a Single Woman, I was upset at the time when he left her.. haha.. But now I know why, but it was not better with her being single.. Her and Julie worked well together, but it just was not the same after David was let go, Valerie was upset too and Felt Bad for David, they remained lifelong friends.
@@lifechanges557 Ahhhhh..that's good to hear :) I enjoyed this series SO much when it started!! I remember i was only a teenager when it started airing and i used to drop everything to watch it :) and i am not even American :)i identified with Rhoda :) loved her free spirit :) but was Really Sad when they made them break up.....it would have been a better example showing couples how they can work through their problems - especially as there is definitely love there. It would have been a much better series - thanks for reading this :)
It made me very sad when Joe and Rhoda split. And at the same time, in real life, Sonny and Cher were divorcing, and each having their own new separate show. It was a lot of instability all at once, in the life of my mind.
Joe's old girlfriend Jill looked an awful lot like his ex-wife Marian. Both beautiful, blonde, and thin. I guess Joe had a definite type. Until he met Rhoda, who was brunette, beautiful and thin.
$310.00 in 1974 money is roughly $1,500.00 in today's money. Too bad that rent prices have not kept up with inflation rates in NYC. An apartment that nice would be $3000.00 today.
That's a ridiculous price to pay for something a person will never own. I have a 1600 sq. ft. house, barn, on 2 acres, plus 25 acres of woods. Our mortgage was only $565.00 a month. Nice place out in the country, and a swimming pool. We paid it off 3 years ago.
Anyone who thinks the 70s were great didn’t live through the 70s. Other than the 30s they were probably he hardest decade in the U.S. during the twentieth century.
Now days most apartments are way over $1000. A month. A friend of mine has 2 bedroom No washer or dryer connection. A swimming pool. I don't see how apartments are so expensive a month. That doesn't include power, cable. I am glad live in a senior apartment 1 bedroom I don't have pay for power, water, wifi, or cable. Very quiet and respectful.
Wes Stern played Lenny. I remember having quite a crush on him when he appeared on the “Partridge Family” with Bobby Sherman and then the two of them launched a spin-off show together, “Getting Together.” Everybody was in love with Bobby Sherman, but I was all over Wes Stern. He was adorable, and appearing in this show just a few years later, he still is. He left television and film and no one seems to know what became of him. I really hope he is okay and doing well.
Inkguy. I thought I was the only one notice the show Getting Together. With Bobby Sherman. It was against All of the Family. On Saturday night. It might had had a better chance. Bobby Sherman had a great talent.
They should never have married her off right away destroyed the essence of Rhoda's character. Maybe an arc where she meets Joe or someone else and leads up to a marriage after a few seasons. But they really shit the wad with the marriage happening immediately...they had no place to go with story line.
Even though I always liked Brenda, she sometimes acts like a surly brat. I can understand Joe in this ep, and I can also understand why Rhoda wanted to move out of the apt. Joe had, but sometimes new marriages suffer if family members often visit. Brenda was often at their apt., they rarely had private time. Ida was there alot, too. Marriage takes work and effort even in great conditions, it's not playing house.
Oh Brenda, how awful. That must have really hurt. Rhoda and Brenda had always been so close, and too bad she had to overhear Joe say he didn't want her living near them.
The Guy with the Distinctive Laugh; It's the late Lorenzo Music, who was both a writer and production assistant for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and producer of "Rhoda," but probably best known as Carlton, the Doorman on "Rhoda." He also served as the audience warm-up guy, which is one reason he could be heard out in the studio audience.
Not only was he for real, he was the show’s producer. He’s probably one of the highest paid paid people on the entire television set. You will hear his laugh off-camera on _Mary Tyler Moore_ too.
I know folks hated Joe and Rhoda's divorce - but they got married so soon after meeting. You could easily have kept them together by letting them break up and get back together towards the end of the show as they grow as adults post Joe's divorce and Rhoda figuring out her life in New York.
"Night Terror" from 1977 brought me here - wow - Richard Romanus and Valerie Harper at a previous meeting! He sounds so nice and friendly too compared to the creepy voice box he used as a mute in that made-for-tv movie.
Did anyone ever notice the door to Rhoda and Joe's apt. door changes from the left of the kitchen to the right of the kitchen sometime later in the series??
Can't name the actress but the gal that played Jill played a brunette later in the series when Gary and Benny Goodwin buy that jean store and the following season playing the same character working for Jack Doyle as a crate transporter. This character catch phrase was "you know, you know, you know" in a rapid sequence.
Problem with Controllers like Ida is that they create problems! Because they never consider whether the person they are Determined to do whatever for actually Wants or Needs it there are usually problems for the victim who has made Other plans. It was Very Selfish of Ida to insist Rhoda have the Wedding SHE wanted for her. A Bride who is denied HER Wedding can be left with a feeling of "Well I never really had the Wedding I always dreamed of..." & it can influence the Marriage, as of course Ida did. The kind of Wedding you have is the kind of Marriage you intend to have. Ida wanted Rhoda to have her kind of Marriage & forget that the World had moved on 30 odd years & Rhoda was a totally different person. And this episode is about Rhoda & Joe not having even the Honeymoon THEY wanted. Ida was not a good Mother. The Great Nancy Walker made her funny, tragic at times but Ida is not an example of how a Mother should be but a Warning.
I don't think Lennie is so bad. Considering SOME of the men I have dated. ( you'd never guess how long I've been single ) He's good marriage material. Sorry for being blunt about the term "material.' He's a good guy!!!
Not only was it not elitist, in the 1970s New York City was at its nadir: sky high crime rates, the subways were dirty and dangerous, people had fled to the suburbs, decay of buildings and infrastructure, two city-wide power outages, one of which went very smoothly but the other resulted in widespread looting and violence, drugs and homelessness. It would take New York City 20 years to climb out of that.
Joe is right what is with these,two sisters they are grown women they are not toddlers STOP already STOP it with the They have to live that close to each other Brenda is to NEEDY
I'd love to have a sister, LOL. Some families genuinely like each other, get along and enjoy spending time with each other. Nothing childish about that.
my dad visited his parents every single day of his life, unless they were travelling or he was. what's wrong with being close to your family?? sad that people today have no sense of family or family values.
How can you be Puerto Rican, but sound Italian? That doesn't work, unless your parents are hailed in different countries. Just saying. But then, I forgot this is in New York, so yeah...
Brenda was more like Rhoda was at the beginning of MTM. Then Rhoda was more like Mary and Brenda was her Rhoda. Not very original thinking, but somehow it all worked

Anybody binge watching these Rhoda episodes with me?? R.I.P. Valerie Harper...

Me too. Great show. Loved the wedding episodes with MTM! ❤️❤️❤️
Rhoda had a great cast. They never should have separated her and Joe.
Yes! Isn't this great?☺
@@nickchristoforou7850 I agree.

Mine was $335 in Seattle plus $35 for parking. I made $1K a month at an Ad Agency. Luckily my boyfriend bought me food & drink.
i graduated from h. s. in 1980
sorry your idea of eating good is clearly skewed
I'll take it
its mary richards old apt

The best show ever! RIP Valerie Harper❤️🙏🏼🕊️✝️
I love that doorman's voice.
Adam Sukenick he did the voice of Garfield
Adam Sukenick and is Lorenzo Music, apparently
Yes, we New Yorkers are scared of everything.Yet, we are very tough. Strong!!
This was a great show. BTW Rhoda(Valerie Harper) was just as beautiful.
I actually thought that she was better looking than Mary Tyler Moore.
All episodes and seasons are on RUclips just search Rhoda.
She was. And Pamela Bellwood was gorgeous!
Fortunate with bone structure.
Her cheekbones need their own zip code.
Love Rhoda great show rip Valerie Harper 😔🇨🇦
The writing is fantastic
My mother worked for Charlotte Brown. She was a good woman.
I binge watch all the time. love Rhoda.
The stars of these MTM shows are in heaven now but the memories will live forever.
Julie's still with us.

Juan Nunez It is amazing how inflation and how prices have changed. Really incredible.
that apt. would cost about $6,000 today
It would cost much more than $3000
Housing has become a privilege not a right. Something only the few and rich can get. And the strong. THIS IS SICK. MUST CHANGE.
This show is so good!
I would love to live in the same building as Brenda.
I married my way in!! LOL! Julie Kavner as Brenda is sensational!
The 70s were great. Joe was not worthy of Rhoda.
Those 8track tapes made the 1970,s
Anyone who thinks the 70s were great didn’t live through the 70s. Other than the 30s they were probably he hardest decade in the U.S. during the twentieth century.
agree
@@inkyguy As a teen, they were glorious!
@@inkyguy as a little girl, it was wonderful. Awesome childhood memories.
Pamela Bellwood was great in this episode. Onscreen for just a few minutes and she delivers a strong, vibrant, memorable character.
She was really attractive. Remember her on ‘Dallas’
I loved this episode and Carlton always made me laugh out loud. :)
Starting with this episode, the credits (except opening) were changed from pink lettering to yellow.
So fuckin what?????
Wow
I love poor Brenda. ❤️. She grew up to be Marge Simpson! 🤓
Great talent.
Serious? Hmm. I can hear that
Rich lucky actress !
I love this show and I don't know why they haven't put it back on tv yet.
Everyone is dead.
A great show. We should see more of it somewhere on television.
They've put everything else back on tv why they haven't put this show?
Lenny(Wes Stern) was also in a MTM show episode as a newbie cameraman and relative of Lou Grant who makes unwanted advances toward Mary.
I would love to know what happened to Wes Stern. He was such a cute and sweet guy.
@@inkyguy he was on The Partridge Family episode with Bobby Sherman. Then they had their own show. Getting Together. 1971-972
I am watching Rhoda episodes too miss these TV shows I meet Valerie Harper years ago .she was so nice.
Jill is Pamela Bellwood from Dynasty.
Oh ya she is
One of her very first roles
@@bkynbiker19 She was very beautiful!
Her affect and voice tone are reminding me of Sheree North when she played the girlfriend of Lou on MTM show.

The Puerto Rican cop's shirt was hilarious. 2 maybe 3 buttons were done up.
Still classier than guys who walk around with their trousers around their knees and their asses hanging out.. LOL
The only thing missing was the gold medallion hanging from a chain around his neck.
Absolutely love this show..
“BBQ’ing in NY? You’d have to keep vacuuming the meat!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Joe was right, they should not live near relatives. There will be no privacy absolutely no privacy.
And he was right !
They should never have married her off right away destroyed the essence of Rhoda's character. Maybe an arc where she meets Joe or someone else and leads up to a marriage after a few seasons. But they really shit the wad with the marriage happening immediately...they had no place to go with story line.
But - - the wedding was the most watched Show of the year.
Yes I am... I thought Valerie was so beautiful. I cut my teeth on this show. R.I.P. Ms. Harper.
I looooove Brenda!
Me tooooooo!!
So does Homer Simpson
All of the older shows are coming back on the tv, but where is Rhoda? I loved her sister and mother too!
Binge watching it now
That actor living in 9-E also appeared in a TV movie with Valerie Harper: "Night Terror" -- a great TV movie, well worth watching.
Roda is beautiful.
Pamela's voice reminds me of Sheree North's voice.
Yes. They sound alike.
Even though I always liked Brenda, she sometimes acts like a surly brat. I can understand Joe in this ep, and I can also understand why Rhoda wanted to move out of the apt. Joe had, but sometimes new marriages suffer if family members often visit. Brenda was often at their apt., they rarely had private time. Ida was there alot, too. Marriage takes work and effort even in great conditions, it's not playing house.
Leave your family & cleave to your spouse is in the wedding ceremony for Greeks.
Rhoda was fantastic!
who waltzes in with a key and flowers when they only dated a few months?
It's Claudia from Dynasty
My bad, it was Bellwood. Thought my memory was better than that.
Pamela Belmore went on to Dynasty. She is very beautiful here. She still was in Dynasty.
Her name is Bellwood, and yes she was more attractive on Dynasty.
She’s not that beautiful… sorry .. maybe more so on Dynasty.. I’ll give her that
@@steveprice2718She is pretty beautiful here and on Dynasty.
Love, love, live Rhoda... ❤️Rip Valerie Harper 🙏
Those 8track tape days 1975 good forgotten tv show
Joe was a jerk...
A MAJOR jerk!
Oh Brenda, how awful. That must have really hurt. Rhoda and Brenda had always been so close, and too bad she had to overhear Joe say he didn't want her living near them.
I wonder if the guy with the insane laughter is for real. Imagine sitting next to him.

I wonder how many times she had to say that beginning ? This is a different version.
So sad... Just read that Richard Romanus died December 23, 2023 (New York Post). He was in "The Sopranos" among many other shows and movies. RIP 🙏.
$310/mo. for a NYC apt. Wow! Actually that’s $1,747.75 in 2022, adjusted for inflation - still low as rents in the Big 🍎 go. 😃
Did anyone ever notice the door to Rhoda and Joe's apt. door changes from the left of the kitchen to the right of the kitchen sometime later in the series??
That apartment was cursed lol
Intro says Rhoda was born December 1940 . This month would have made her 80 years old.

My nickname is Rhoda! Civid19 in California, later, yall
thanks
Yeah This Pamela Belmore was sure Beautiful. And she does look a lot like Pamela Bellwood on Dynasty.
That's because it's the same actress
@4:05 it looks like a pic of Kate Jackson on the wall
Not a nice thing of joe to say
Brenda shouldn’t listen in the conversation
It hurt my feelings to see Brenda get her feelings hurt by Joe...
Now I don't like him either.
How much is 310 today.
Joe. Was. Not. Wrong. Here.
9E? In a building with 5/6 floors?
E is the 5th letter of the alphabet. Maybe they used letters instead of numbers for floors.
Claudia from “Dynasty” (Pamela Bellwood)
70s so 70
1974 was still before NYC became elitist.
Not only was it not elitist, in the 1970s New York City was at its nadir: sky high crime rates, the subways were dirty and dangerous, people had fled to the suburbs, decay of buildings and infrastructure, two city-wide power outages, one of which went very smoothly but the other resulted in widespread looting and violence, drugs and homelessness.

Why did they have to make Joe such a jerk?

Rhoda isn’t wearing her wedding ring
Did Joe ever get any other acting parts after Rhoda?
Omg now my apartment is 320 a week! Lol
He was such a bum. 😂🤣
How can they like all that red colour in apartment 9E? This must have been the popular primary colour during the 1970s.
