This one makes me laugh like crazy. I remember them all from first time around, watching with Mum in UK, fantastic forever memories. Wonderful cast 💜💕🌈
Love Roda’s outfit in the outro , it’s fabuuuulas 😄 don’t get cool cloths like that anymore and all the red is just gorgeous . Enjoyed this witty series ♥️
Its amazing how women in these TV shows always thought they were 'fat' Brenda and Rhoda are slim and beautiful but in almost every episode they denigrate their looks. When I was a kid I took it seriously now I see how insidious it was. (although I love the show otherwise)
I love Brenda’s red outfit. I had a sweater just like Rhoda. Nice clothing. And Rhoda was funny married as well as single. They just make her marry too fast. The “Joe” episode should have been later In the season.
You mean the rust colored one with the trees? Rust was huge back then. So were tops with trees or sunsets or rainbows . I had a pair of rust colored corduroy gauchos and knee high boots that I adored. How I miss the styles back then. I had something black with the colored stripes like Rhoda's top but I cant remember the exact style. Those were the days.
The first time I saw actor Barry Brown (Jimmy Klein) was in this episode. I was drawn to him. I thought he was so cute, especially his sad innocent eyes, and his voice reminding me of the late actor Jimmy Stewart. After researching online, I was so saddened to hear that he died in 1978. What a shame especially at the tender age of 27. What could have been.
Loved this episode, but then again, I loved the whole show in general. I've seen every episode of "Rhoda". I love Carlton, too! In real life, Lorenzo Music (Carlton) helped created the show.
Yolanda Grady That’s a pretty inaccurate description. If the other shows aren’t tolerable, why do you keep watching them? I don’t understand why people on here like to complain about the program and the characters, yet they subject themselves to it.
OMG.......You’re acting like she had some personal choice on all aspects of her character. She wasn’t choosing to be this way, she was playing a part and everything was completely scripted. She is an actress who is playing a part!!!
Tampa Bay Lightning OMG.......You’re acting like she had some personal choice on all aspects of her character. She wasn’t choosing to be this way, she was playing a part and everything was completely scripted. She is an actress who is playing a part!!!
Look up the 73 cougar. Joe had the convertible. A sexy car for its day. The 59 Desoto was a perfect foil of a behemoth with exaggerated fins and room for a family of 7! Both at this point are sweet. Love Joe's comment at the end.
I think it's true that Rhoda risks turning into her mother LOL! Perhaps if she stayed married longer and had children the transformation would one day be completed :-)
Is is me or does anyone else hear Joan Rivers’ humor in this series? I’ve seen them all and I often hear Rivers brand of humor, in fact I even see Rhoda making the same sort of physical expressions and mannerisms. I wonder if Joan Rivers ever wrote for this series. Pay attention folks and tell me what you think!
I loved everything about this series.... *except* Carlton. Not too keen on Joe either. Sad about guest star Barry Brown who shot himself on June 25, 1978... about 4 years after this episode.
David Groh was Jewish and didn't flaunt it, Neither did Julie if you ask me. Valerie was Catholic but you would never had guessed her her religius affiliation except they were exceptional actors. The Jewish aspect was played out in a more subtle form than other shows or other stars who really exaggerated it.
Your comment seems slightly racist. It's like, it's okay to be Jewish as long as you don't flaunt it. Don't advertise the fact that you are an inferior, slobbering, bug-eyed, hook-nosed beast. Keep all of that stuff inside, and you will be fine. I'm sure there is a neo-nazi meeting in your neighbourhood, that would welcome you with open arms.
Love Valerie Harper in other works she did like various tv series as guest star. However, once they broke up the marriage & the character was back to the same storylines as when she was on MTM series, I lost interest & watch only reruns of Rhoda & Joe. The opening becomes sad monologue, then the return of character's same negative events. Why couldn't Rhoda be a success story. The golden heart of Rhoda deserved it. 💛
I had that happen to me with a married guy; he told me he was letting an unstable gal from AA stay with him. After he died (cancer), his widow tore into me on FB; I didn't have the heart to tell her I had no clue he was married. She wouldn't've believed me anyhow.
@@2degucitas Thank you. She's happily remarried, far's I know. Good for her. She deserved better than her 1st husband. I also figured out that I deserve to be more than "the other woman" or "interim girlfriend". So, I don't date any more. Oh, and the pandemic, lol.
Looking back after all these years - I’m thinking that perhaps Roda needed more from Joe than he was able to offer. As a loving husband, possibly he could have given more emotional support to Roda. I love both of the characters-and wish that the writers could have set them on a more universal and positive journey. Marriage isn’t for everyone - especially during the 1970s when there were radical societal changes in the world. ❤
Loretta Adomeit ~~Why would they do that???? She was playing a certain character and they dressed her appropriately for that character. Plus it was the 1970s and people weren’t wearing bras as much during the women’s Lib movement. So enough.......stop with the comments already! 🙄
Benny Goodwin was a clueless dunderhead. Brenda should have ended up with Michael, the FBI agent who was surveilling from Brenda's apartment. Handsome, smart, and sweet. They seemed to really be in love. He was the only person of quality that Brenda ever dated. Not Lenny Fiedler, not Nick Lobo, not Gary Levy. And sadly, not dopey Benny Goodwin.
I loved the show. Now I watch the reruns but I stopped watching it when her a Joe broke up. Then it was to much about the sister Brenda so I stopped watching it.
I liked the eps showing Brenda at her Weight Watchers meetings, but they must not have been uploaded. She was funny at those meetings. When she lost all that weight, she was no longer needed there, and she felt 'lost'. Brenda was funny and sweet, but naive about men. Joe was always sweet to her. Rhoda has them live somewhat expensively, the way their apt. is furnished, no wonder Joe gets stressed about expenses sometimes.In Minnesota she lived like a hippie, but in NYC it's like she demands to live high on the hog. Rhoda was always ruling over Brenda. I couldn't have stood that. The thing is, not every married couple wear rings. Some can't afford them.
I used to think this show was so funny when I was a kid but now its sad and outdated. Marriage, marriage, marriage..... Thank goodness women set their sights higher these days.
In that kind of situation its good to found out early before the victim fell in love with the married person and it would have been harder to leave them! P.S. Carltons a mess, lol!
I hate Joe, but in this episode, l sorta kinda like him when he spoke up & told the cheater off (his way of course)... tolerable but still NVR understood why Rhoda had to marry him...ijs
My goodness Julie you lost so much weight between Ep. 13 and 14. Too fast on loosing weight, slow down hot rod. Loosing weight fast is how we lost Oliver Hardy. Never lose weight fast, research why on UA-cam. Good Luck. Can't wait to see show with Julie and Tony Banta. Never got to watch these when in high school my mom thought these were not appropriate for young girls - hers. So we grew up ignorant and went crazy as soon as we could. Yep that was the way of it. Get the heck out and run from your parents.
I used to watch this show when it was on TV. Now I am amazed at how female-centric and Jewish-centric it was. And it's not that funny. Joe is a very lame and flat character. This show is so unlike Mary Tyler Moore's show with its mix of rich and hilarious characters. But Rhoda is better than being poked in the eye with a stick.
Joseph LaCerra Then why the hell are you even watching this?? You sit here and watch a program you don’t like and then criticize it. Why put yourself through all that, when you could just be watching a program you do like. People like you amaze me because you are totally negative, and just want attention at any price. Grow up, you’re acting just like a little boy. 🙄
What's an anti-Semite and a misogynist doing watching (and commenting) on a show about a Jewish woman? Watch 'The Waltons' instead, you ignorant Nazi. Oh, and have a lovely day.
It's good and educational to watch a show about cultural and religious differences. At least it wasn't shoved down your throat like other shows or movies. As a gay, lapsed Catholic, White male, I was never offended or put off by those insignificant issues.
Julie Kavner is a very underated actress! She shined through the whole series of Rhoda!
I am glad that this episode is about Brenda....Brenda is a beautiful person inside and out.
Moving forward in the series many more are about Brenda. She was a wonderful addition to the show.
@@lorraineb.4698 I agree! Brenda was my favourite character in this show. I think she's a cutie too.
Brenda seemed like the kind of person I would like to be friends with. She would be so much fun to know.
This one makes me laugh like crazy. I remember them all from first time around, watching with Mum in UK, fantastic forever memories. Wonderful cast 💜💕🌈
Watching Rhoda keeps me calm. Relieves my stress.❤
Brenda/Julie Kavner is so adorable in this episode, and so many others.
“They teach you to spot poison oak, then let you walk right through a patch of married men”...lol This show had the best one liners.
Just what everyone needs, good humour and lots of it.🌹
Loved when Rhoda mentions about the girl scouts...
Love Roda’s outfit in the outro , it’s fabuuuulas 😄 don’t get cool cloths like that anymore and all the red is just gorgeous . Enjoyed this witty series ♥️
RIP, VALERIE HARPER, I MISS YOU SO MUCH. 😭😱😞, YOU WERE FANTASTIC 🥰
What about R. I. P. David Groh too? He was a great guy & an excellent actor!
Julie Kavner was such a cutie. I love the episode of "Taxi" where she played Tony Banta's younger sister.
And she goes out with Rev. Jim. Cute couple, but Julie always has the best taste in men in the sitcoms she's in ;-)
@@cowabungadoug Rev. Jim looked like a bum. She could have done better.
Show was not as good without Joe.
I love the old photos of Valerie Harper.
My older sister was the same way with me .So over protective .May she R.I. P. !
@Heidi Walker. You were so lucky!!
Cherish your memories
I want a sister , and have this relationship with her....either one, they’re both so beautiful
RIP Valerie 🌺✌🏻❤️
I remember all of the women’s Lib back in these days. Rhoda is still making dinner and doing the laundry. Lol
Its amazing how women in these TV shows always thought they were 'fat' Brenda and Rhoda are slim and beautiful but in almost every episode they denigrate their looks. When I was a kid I took it seriously now I see how insidious it was. (although I love the show otherwise)
Those drinks at the restaurant looked really good. I wonder if anything like that really exists.
I love Brenda’s red outfit. I had a sweater just like Rhoda. Nice clothing. And Rhoda was funny married as well as single. They just make her marry too fast. The “Joe” episode should have been later In the season.
But those of us from that time will never forget the wedding episode

It's Rhoda, not Rhonda!
I know! Obviously you haven’t used autocorrect! 😂

His sister also killed herself.
A remarkable talent, and yes, a heartbreaking life. Thank you for your comment.
I used to have such a crush on him.
I Said He Was Ricky Skaggs.
Omg no how did he die?
Dear n Sweet Valerie ! Rip! 💌🙏✍!
Loved this episode, but then again, I loved the whole show in general. I've seen every episode of "Rhoda". I love Carlton, too! In real life, Lorenzo Music (Carlton) helped created the show.
I think he is also the voice of Garfield the Cat.
@atlan61 YES! He did do the voice of Garfield the cat before he died. I loved it when he did Garfield's voice!!
lol funny episode :) thanks for uploading! more like these please!
Rhoda is so much more tolerable in this episode because she's thinking of her sister instead of obsessing over her own insecurities constantly!
Yolanda Grady That’s a pretty inaccurate description. If the other shows aren’t tolerable, why do you keep watching them? I don’t understand why people on here like to complain about the program and the characters, yet they subject themselves to it.
Her insecurities and Joe not wanting to be married. Reason they didn't last.
@yolandagrady7232. If you don't like the show so much, then why are you stupid enough to keep watching it? You're such a moron!
I just started watching and I notice she's extremely insecure, more so than in mtm
@@thesilentdivaShe represents in reality though many women.
Why was Brenda always so down on herself? She was pretty and sweet.
I agree. I just LOVE her. You watch this and really think they are sisters ;P
Without her the show would have faltered.
Because men love sending the message that "average" women are desperate and unhappy.
OMG.......You’re acting like she had some personal choice on all aspects of her character. She wasn’t choosing to be this way, she was playing a part and everything was completely scripted. She is an actress who is playing a part!!!

Yes, one of the times I liked Joe
I feel sad for Brenda in this episode 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Neither of them were fat but they needed better bras!
It was the seventies. They spelled relief, "O-F-F'!
@@jaymesguy239 we had no where near the styles and selections of bras available today….but off is off…lol
@@areasonableperson24And protruding large breasts were not in
I think it's true that Rhoda risks turning into her mother LOL! Perhaps if she stayed married longer and had children the transformation would one day be completed :-)
It pretty much happened on the Mary and Rhoda movie. She had a daughter, Meredith, and was acting like Ida sometimes.
I adore ❤️ Valerie Harper.
TV par excellence, thank you!!
I am not fond of their poly clothing but I LOVE her head scarves. I remember my mom wearing a few.
Is is me or does anyone else hear Joan Rivers’ humor in this series? I’ve seen them all and I often hear Rivers brand of humor, in fact I even see Rhoda making the same sort of physical expressions and mannerisms. I wonder if Joan Rivers ever wrote for this series.

I love Julie Kavner! Half way though I started hearing Marge Simpson. I'm so happy she found Homer and not the creep in this episode. Lol!!
RIP Rohde
Rhoda is begging too much to stay married.
I want Joe's coat he walked in with. I LOVE those! :)
You can have the coat; I'll take Joe! Always had a crush on him.
Connie Sedona You can keep him 🙄.
Yeah, Joe looks quite sharp and spiffy in his coat and white shirt and tie. Wonder what color his slacks are?
Red alert. They must have really liked the colour of red back in the 1970s.
yes her outfit matches the curtains
I thought that Rhonda and Brenda were great sisters They look alike except for there age
I caught Fonzie! In first of the episodes 😊 aka Henry Winkler😊
I love New Jersey.
Lucy Mcgillicuddy Characters in New York don't seem to like New Jersey. lol
Born and raised !
As my father always said, I'm from Jersey
Lived there from 67-86. Loved New Jersey!
@@allisongaines3330 92 to present. My mom was born here too.
I love Brenda’s coat!
Loved her.
Rhoda was the best
Loved her in the role of Rhoda’s sister
Why would you get mad someone exposed to you that your boyfriend is married ? I don’t get it
Total 70s right?
And none of those annoying cell phones. They're great in many ways but people are always so frigging glued to them.
Yes, and I kinda miss it!
Omg they were tripping, she's a cute size. Brenda isn't even "thick" . Those beauty standards 💀
Valerie Harper & Julie Kavner should have been sisters in real life! They sure act it on the show!
I loved everything about this series.... *except* Carlton. Not too keen on Joe either.
Sad about guest star Barry Brown who shot himself on June 25, 1978... about 4 years after this episode.
I was screaming laughing 13:55

duesnt anyone recognize julie kavner as the lovvable voice of Marge Simson!!
Carlton is a drunk everyone drink in the 1970's.... I grew up in the 1970's and this program was made 1974 I was 9 years old....

Wondered why they cut him out? Did the actor decide to leave the show?
I guess it's no wonder she was so paranoid throughout their relationship.
I had that happen to me with a married guy; he told me he was letting an unstable gal from AA stay with him. After he died (cancer), his widow tore into me on FB; I didn't have the heart to tell her I had no clue he was married. She wouldn't've believed me anyhow.
And, she wouldn't have wanted to hear how he excused her being in his place. I guess you were his "I'm dying of cancer" fling. I'm sorry 😔
@@2degucitas Thank you. She's happily remarried, far's I know. Good for her. She deserved better than her 1st husband. I also figured out that I deserve to be more than "the other woman" or "interim girlfriend". So, I don't date any more. Oh, and the pandemic, lol.
@@l.a.gothro3999 Good for you!
Great show ...but why do go on about their weight and they are both v slim - love it though
@Joshua Swain Is weight gain / weight loss all you observe in this wonderful tv show? Why
be so critical.
It's such a paradox...Rhoda is constantly trying to uplift Brenda yet she's so insecure about Joe😮...
Absolutely!!
Looking back after all these years - I’m thinking that perhaps Roda needed more from Joe than he was able to offer. As a loving husband, possibly he could have given more emotional support to Roda.

I wished they put Brenda in more flattering clothes, and put on a bra, everyone!
Loretta Adomeit ~~Why would they do that???? She was playing a certain character and they dressed her appropriately for that character. Plus it was the 1970s and people weren’t wearing bras as much during the women’s Lib movement. So enough.......stop with the comments already! 🙄
@@tannawannavannabittannawan7138 it made some otherwise great outfits look horrible no matter the “ trend”
Yeah, they were burning them back in the 70's. Bra's I mean. At the time it was appropriate.
They were wearing bras. Breasts were not the main attraction back then . They were not as important as being thin
The guy who plays Brenda's married boyfriend committed suicide 4 years after this show was made.
+Marchant2 thats sad to hear..
Anita Luca Yes it is their opinion, everyone is entitled to it.
@Konga 5000 did anyone say there was?
Rhoda always was protected Brenda. She ended with a nice guy
Benny Goodwin was a clueless dunderhead. Brenda should have ended up with Michael, the FBI agent who was surveilling from Brenda's apartment. Handsome, smart, and sweet.

Brenda the side-chick in the 70"s
Why isn’t Rhoda working? Joe needed help financially and she couldn’t have got a job
I used to think this show was so funny when I was a kid but now its sad and outdated. Marriage, marriage, marriage..... Thank goodness women set their sights higher these days.
This show is classic. Aged better than the MTM show which seems way more dated and jokes did not age as well as this shows
In that kind of situation its good to found out early before the victim fell in love with the married person and it would have been harder to leave them!
P.S. Carltons a mess, lol!

Hard fine boyfriend.
he wants to stay at home on the weekends ! thanks
Compromise, stay home one day and do something fun out the other day

Jeez people, it's a tv show!

Brenda looks good in that outfit ! Joe is selling his car , band aid man is married but dating Brenda ! thanks
I THINK BRENDA IS MUCH PRETTIER THAN RHODA.
Ridiculous. Valerie Harper was beautiful
@@lorraineb.4698 I AGREE, SHE'S VERY BEAUTIFUL. IT'S JUST A PERSONAL OPINION THAT BRENDA IS ALSO VERY BEAUTIFUL.
I think they are both equally attractive in different ways. It all comes down to preference.
I used to watch this show when it was on TV. Now I am amazed at how female-centric and Jewish-centric it was. And it's not that funny. Joe is a very lame and flat character. This show is so unlike Mary Tyler Moore's show with its mix of rich and hilarious characters. But Rhoda is better than being poked in the eye with a stick.

I agree. She wasn't as funny once she got married. It's a good thing they brought in the sister.
What's an anti-Semite and a misogynist doing watching (and commenting) on a show about a Jewish woman? Watch 'The Waltons' instead, you ignorant Nazi. Oh, and have a lovely day.
It's good and educational to watch a show about cultural and religious differences. At least it wasn't shoved down your throat like other shows or movies. As a gay, lapsed Catholic, White male, I was never offended or put off by those insignificant issues.
