I discovered recently that the actor who played him died from liver disease. No offense to him, but no one is surprised. He looked like he was buzzed in almost every episode that he was in. Also, he died in '89 at age 59. Doesn't he look like 65 in these episodes from the late '70s?
Rhoda's best out fit y hairstyle was when she wore that black y white striped top, with the black long skirt, hair poneytailed back, fashionable so, y earrings medium y size y probably gold. With high sandals y adjacent straps with the wicker look. Fantastic. Superb. Divine.
That man sitting by Rhoda would get on my nerves. In any class I had in high school, our desks were never close to each other, the aisles between rows were wide. I took accounting in 11th grade, and it was boring. Some of it was difficult. During the disco era of the late 1970s, roller skating took a comeback, which is why Benny is into it. Cities had several indoor rinks, and there was even dancing done with skates on. The teacher of that class guest starred on other shows back then, as did that man seated beside Rhoda.
My husband was into roller skating as a teen. He danced on them and was very popular . He had the moves. He was sooo cute. He was a great dancer off the skates too. Im still so proud of him.
It was 9th grade social studies with miss Hurley. She was more like a friend than a teacher. She called me a stude y wanted me to be proud of myself. I got a long better with the teachers than students y eventually lived with one. Okay now i had an assignment to do which consisted of 60 pages. That's right you heard me. I only wish you would have been in the classroom with me. She had said 6 pages y i misunderstood. I did the whole 60 pages y very industriously so. Came the day of collecting y we had to do an audio report with our material in front of the whole class. When it came my turn she was laughing so hard that i thought she urinated herself. She announced to the whole classroom that i got an a+ for the entire year. I still did my best on other future assignments so as not to cheat myself.
Guest star Peter Hobbs (the night school teacher, Mr. Parsons) also appeared as a recurring character on LOU GRANT as the grizzled cophouse reporter, George Driscoll.
I really wanted Gary to be the one for Brenda. He had a strength that Brenda could have used and he was doing ok for himself and he was really cute. Where one was weak the other was strong. It would have been perfect. And Rhoda could have done his windows in all of his stores. Which she probably was but never brought it to the forefront. Weird how we get so into.these shows its like the characters are real for a while, especially when you binge watch like I am . 😊
I truly can’t believe the comments on this video!! It’s a tv show, it’s fake, it’s for entertainment!! Some people take things to the literal extreme with their comments about her cheating on a damn test. 🙄😂
Katherine Brady Right!! I can’t believe the comments that I read on here after every episode. They complain worse than they claim millennials do. 🤣 It’s pathetic!
For future reference put Rhoda's chair separate from the others. If the school policy was not leanient, she needs to acknowledge this y if she canned it is her problem.
I'm with shellbell704. I don't at all condone her cheating, but I loved Jack's speech. Especially the part where he asks them to raise their hand if they've never cheated and he keeps naming things till Brenda is the only one left raising her hand. Then ''your weight?" ... hahaha
@@jeanmiller1142 God curses for disobedience. The scenerio has changed y you don't put your pearls before swine. Both old y new testaments.

Many business owners don't know accounting. Rhoda was an artist/designer, but wasn't necessarily good with numbers. Bookkeepers/ Accountants are hired to handle that task.
I wouldn’t have let Rhoda back in the class. Mostly because Brenda got an F on the test because of Rhoda. A good sister wouldn’t have thought of herself but would’ve went back to the class to get her sister a second chance and not herself! As much as I love Rhoda, this would have been my verdict. 🤔.
Kennedy was killed by probably the CIA, Irish, Irish, y more Irish. Isn't it odd that the vice was sworn in immediately y he was from Texas where the then death had taken place. Hmmm.....
I do not know why some people do not like this episode. So, Rhoda cheats. So, she is not perfect even though she is our hero. MTM Production characters were never cliches. Mary and Valerie and Jim and Allan and Grant and the others would not have it.
If you had a husband who cheated on you, would you let him just waltz right back into your own life. Would you let your boss smooth the whole thing over. Hells no, it is a principal y morals have slowly dropped using the media.
Always choose a Jew if there's anything you learned from this show. No pictures of bronzed Tom Maccanns shoes or uncle reading a newspaper out on the fire escape.
Good question. Even better question: why does Johnny Venture constantly drop in on them in New York when he supposedly lives in Vegas and makes a killing there?
THANK YOU!! I can hear it clearly now. lol Strange I couldn't understand it before. I thought they were saying ''a --------'' . Two words. Didn't realize it was one word they were saying.
@@emilyedwards9809 I'm the same way. Sometimes you can't hear something until someone says it and then you wonder why you couldn't hear it in the first place
Rhoda is usually hypocritical about her behavior versus others. Very quick to judge other people but expects not to be jugded herself. She is seldomm accountable it is consistent throughout all seasons.
Johnny looks funny in those coveralls. He sure is cute. Normally I favor Brenda of all the characters, but she needs to get off Rhoda's back concerning that class.That guy seated beside Rhoda during that test looks like a mafia type. This episode is funny.
No, her job was on the line. You don't want her to marry a bozo y have to clean toilets y pop out kids for an existence. Rhoda fu.... Up y it is her mess. I'm for Brenda.
New York State's hourly minimum wage was $2.30 at the start of 1978. Since Rhoda made $2.50, she would've had to have gotten a raise that year anyway since the minimum wage was increased to $2.65 on October 6, 1978. THIS was way she quit her own window-dressing business?!!
This happens in real life. Rhoda was wrong all the way y the Irish way of life y it's morals have put many a millstone around millions of citizens necks y thrown them into the sea.
@@vanessapierce231 I don't understand why I wrote a wouldn't study. I don't understand why she cheated.

They broke up Joe & Rhoda's marriage so they could be free to write stupid episodes like this?! This episode was quite possibly the worst Rhoda episode of the entire series.

@@vanessapierce231 I think your hatred of the Irish people is called the bigotry. I don't understand it. Surely you would not want everybody to judge you in the way you are judging others. Judge not least you be judged
The more I watch these Rhoda episodes, the more I realize just how much of an extremely horrible, self-centered witch Rhoda actually is. No wonder Joe ran so far away from her.
I've been watching these on RUclips. I watched Rhoda when I was a kid growing up. Now I see Rhoda as incredibly insecure. She always wanted reassurance from Joe who had his own issues. It would be tiring always telling her how good she is and stop putting yourself down. This episode is terrible she screwed up something that meant something to Brenda. It was incredibly selfish
Well, cheating is not exactly a virtue. This is just a sitcom and I get it and it was a good episode, but in real life it would not be funny, obviously. If you don't think it's a big deal I am not sure about your integrity!

So I take it Brenda was a nerd in school thats why she has a good job and Rhoda was just getting by in school and that's why she works with Jack.
Brenda was more analytical while Rhoda was more artistic. Left brain right brain
Nah, Rhoda was lazy & disorganized...Artistic is the polite way of saying that.
