So glad I found this show, I always loved Rhoda, now I can watch it all over again. I love all of the characters and it's still funny. My sister became a window dresser because of this show.
Only Nancy Walker could play Ida Morgenstern. She delivers all of her lines PERFECTLY and steals every single scene she's in. Without question, TV's best mom.
Its an honor for the Bronx to be represented in this show! This show was awesome,and great humor, and writing!! I still remember when she took the subway to her wedding!, Too much!! Look at the Fonz in this episode, this is the best!!
It was terrific to see the positive attitude towards the Bronx. Not everyone wanted to say good things about the Bronx in the 1970s. Even President Ford said " drop dead."
The eps of this show make me think of my teen years, when it was new on tv.I watched this show when new. The 1970s...God how I miss those days. Why did I ever take them for granted?
@@michaelgenzale7537 Well....there were so many other "NY jewish humor" shows....from the earliest TV.....CAR 54 Where Are You?....and arguably TAXI....and even The Munsters, GET SMART! were all strong jewish humor shows. So many shows.
It was really good writing until after season 2. Then it started going downhill. Had they have fired those writers, I believe that show would have gone on for a lot of years.
I love, love, love Rhoda. Thanks for uploading. Glad she had her own show. She was fabulous on MTM too. As a matter of fact, I think she made the show, even though she was always belittled to make Mary look good. I hadn't seen any Rhoda shows before, so I hope that trend won't continue on her on show. Rhoda looks terrific, always has, and she's very funny. I hope she can look back, watch those re-runs, be proud of what she has achieved and that she made a lot of people, who watched her, happy.
It is so strange to be watching all these shows again after I first saw them in the 70's and to realize that most everyone in them, with the exception of Julie Kavner, has now passed away. Rhoda was still at home with her mom and now not only has Ida Morgenstern, Rhoda's mom, passed away; but even Rhoda, Valerie Harper, has also passed away. Life is so quick and is just an eye blink.
Loved the Mary Tyler Moore Show and then Rhoda!! Amazing cast and great writing!! Always so funny; Carlton the Doorman was one of my favorites and you never saw him! RIP Rhoda, Mary and Nancy....
That very fact disturbs me greatly. I look at All in the Family. The episode celebrating Archie's 50th birthday. At the moment I honestly look 10 years younger than Carroll O'Connor THEN. When realistically I'm ten years older than he was now. Everyday we lose a movie, TV or music icon we grew up with. I Still wouldn't trade the era in which I was born for anything in the world not even another 20 years on this Earth.....well 😊
I live only a few blocks away on the Grand Concourse from where Ida lived in the show...which is actually 1881 Grand Concourse. 3517 was a fictional address for the show. Loved this show💖.
This show is so funny. The writing is superior. I never saw the show before. Rhoda really had a successful spinoff. I'm glad she was given this opportunity and she has a magnetism that the MTM Show missed when she left. Here she is just wonderful.
Omg...I have been addicted to Rhoda the last two days. What a great show it was!!! It was on when I was really small so I never really watched it and understoid it. My mom watched it.
Walker received four Emmy nominations for this role, 3 for "McMillan & Wife" and 1 for her guest role as Aunt Angela on "The Golden Girls." She also was nominated twice for a Tony Award (Broadway).
Martin Beneteau, I know you commented on this a long while ago but I just wanted to say... you are right ! Nancy walker was the best thing about Rhoda... it was all good but Nancy was the best. Have you seen her as the deaf-mute agency housemaid in “Murder by death”. Quite an obscure film but very funny. 😁
I loved Rhoda when it first aired and still do. At age 12 myself and my peers just lived for this show. Valerie in this role was so believable but in real life not jewish at all. She is beautiful and funny and to this day is still just gorgeous, outstanding really. Valerie like an old friend to me I send up a prayer for you who governed the comedy world, know you are loved, and quite simply still the very best!
A great actress she was. Beautiful by today's standards, but in the early '70's thin was in. When Rhoda condidered herself fat, today's guy would visually see her as sexy. Smokin' hot. Regardless, Mary & she were classy ladies.
@@bernieudo4399 I never understood the fat complex. She was so gorgeous and had a great body. It makes me so upset when someone can look that good and be insecure in any way. On the other hand I'm glad she wasn't conceited.
@@VictorianMetalGirl Back in the '70's Mary was "in."Now Rhoda, Val, '70's would be a major head turner. So hot. Mary would today be seen as "so so."Context is key. Just can't get over how beautiful Valerie was '70-'76. Total hottie.🔥
He worked at hempls with Rhoda, and got fired after 4 years, so she couldn't say no to him when he asks her out, and sits at the little table and Rhoda gives half of her portion of the veal to him.
This show had no swearing to get cheap laughs, which was cool. Rhoda's mom was a hoot ! ("Getting the Milk for Free...") Bust out belly laughs/LOL... Great stuff...
I didn't know Fonzie made an appearance in this episode. Coincidentally, he appeared as Rhoda's date in "The Dinner Party" on Mary Tyler Moore in Season 4.
“The Dinner Party” is one of the best and most iconic episodes from “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”. Mary’s character became known for giving unsuccessful parties.
Many Parents don’t throw their kids out today anymore. Many mothers WANT their kids, especially their sons to stay home. My parents made it uncomfortable for me to still live at home, I WANTED to get out of there.
It’s an American thing to throw your kids out and not help them….my dad wanted me out at 15….we had to go to court and everything . Thankfully soon that silent generation will be gone and their selfish and judgmental attitudes
When I was a kid I remember I was bummed out to learn Valerie Harper left the MTM show. Thankfully Rhoda turned out to be a very good show with a great cast. Usually when characters get their own spin-off they're weak and short-lived. "Fish" comes to mind
I was watching this when I was 14, when I wasn't supposed to be watching. Just a little while back, I gave a friend some advice I learned from Rhoda; "You don't want to look to sexy in the Subway."
One thing I love about this show is Ida. She dresses like & reminds me of my beloved deceased Yiayia (Grandmother in Greek). Add a heavy Greek accent & she was more adorable 😍.
3:30 - The Fonz and Rhoda again! He was in one of the best MTMS episodes, where she has the dinner party with the Congresswoman - there's no room for him so he sits at the round table by the window! And now he's an apartment hunter. This must've been right before Henry Winkler landed the part on "Happy Days", which came on in the same month - September 1974. Around the same time he was also on the Bob Newhart Show playing a convict who escapes from prison or something. Great actor.
Brenda: He's only a third cousin and there's no threat of insanity LOL Rhoda: It's safer in the subway if you don't look too sexy! Ida; I have to remember that! Valerie, Nancy and Julie had such great chemistry together!! RIP Valerie and Nancy!
I have been wanting to see Rhoda for years and years. I was only about 5 or 6 when I used to watch it. I remember the episode where that women dropped a potato chip down Joe's shirt and retrieved it😮I didn't know much but I knew that was big trouble. I can't wait to see it now that I really understand.
I know this is 70s money but hearing those rents is taking me OUT..... The $110 apartment in Minneapolis that she mentions would be $686 today according to the inflation calculator..... That is WILD
she is sooo funny and she has the fonze on her show i love i.t sooo glad i have found it . oh and i love it she drops her hat in the credits and she gets all the attention, as she should she was beautiful the mum is sooooo funny and i love the music at the end. looks like i know what i will be watching for awhile SUPERB! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I can tell it was the 1970s by the psychodelic flare jeans and way out primary colours. That's Henry Winkler before he had cast him as the Fonz in Happy Days. No one graduates from high school in Australia. A person either passes or fails the HSC ( similar to SAT in America), or leaves after completing year 10. Only tertiary students graduate.
I forgot how much I loved this show ❤
I love this show I’m 34 and can relate to Rhoda 😊
It’s not just the star of the show that makes it great. It’s often the costars who make it awesome. Like Nancy Walker, Julie Kavner, Dave Groh
So glad I found this show, I always loved Rhoda, now I can watch it all over again. I love all of the characters and it's still funny. My sister became a window dresser because of this show.
It's 13th March 2020..I'm loving this show all over again. Adore the humor and the 70's fashion..RIP Valerie Harper you are the best
I'm watching it on March 18, 2023....
3 years later!! Found it again thanks to "Decades" channel.
Watching it on September 19, 2023.loved the 1st year the best. They ruined it when Rhoda and Joe split up.
Only Nancy Walker could play Ida Morgenstern. She delivers all of her lines PERFECTLY and steals every single scene she's in. Without question, TV's best mom.
I love Brenda's little appartment. So practical yet cozy.
jean billy ur a cutie.
@@williamfreytes-cheverez3688 I agree
In Manhattan I'd be alright with it.
Why no living room sofa and a teeny bed?
as a young teenager in the UK at the time of airing, I always loved her apartment.
I love Rhoda's Mother.... Forgot how good this show was, takes me back!
Valerie Clemens I’ve never forgotten.
I was born in '72 and I absolutely love EVERYTHING about the decade, especially the music..l
I watched this ad a child but it's do much better to me now
Its an honor for the Bronx to be represented in this show! This show was awesome,and great humor, and writing!! I still remember when she took the subway to her wedding!, Too much!! Look at the Fonz in this episode, this is the best!!

Mary Tyler Moore and Rhoda were the That Girl of the 70's.
I'll use a 70's expression...Rhoda was a fox!!! Sure miss this show. The humor still holds up.
I agree with you. Rhoda was HOT🥵!
@@GarethColquhoun Valerie was very beautiful.
Too bad rhoda pass away awhile back brain cancer
Rhoda was ‘terrific’.
The eps of this show make me think of my teen years, when it was new on tv.I watched this show when new. The 1970s...God how I miss those days. Why did I ever take them for granted?
Yes I think I know what you mean. Simpler less taxing times!
I feel the same. I was a teen too.❤
I love Valerie. She's such a brilliant actress :)
I've never seen this show before. The humor still holds up. Great show.
😳
Nice isn't it?
Love New York Jewish humor, this series takes me back a long time loved the gags and plot lines, sadly nothing like it on TV now though.
mickeyh1961 This was way before Flushing, Queens' Fran Fine (Fran Drescher), her mom (Renee Taylor) and the adorable grandma/grandmother Yetta/Yedda.
@@kshinokevin you ain't kidding Rhoda 1974-1978 the nanny 1993-1999

Watch “The Nanny” for the same NYC/Jewish humor... husband from town next to Flushing (cracks him up)
Thank you to all of you who download all these older shows!! Love it!!
Clever writing, and both Nancy Walker and Valerie were great!
It was really good writing until after season 2. Then it started going downhill. Had they have fired those writers, I believe that show would have gone on for a lot of years.
This was my mom's favorite show when she was young. She was Brenda's age - early 20s.
I only started watching it. The acting is really great!
My mom was born the same year Brenda was. 1951.
Wow it's been about 40 years since I last watched this show! I still enjoyed it! Thanx so much for uploading!
Hey!!! “It’s the Fonz” 👍🏻!!! Omg this made me smile. I’d love to go back to the 70’s 😊
Happy Days and Rhoda started same year in Sept 1974
One of the best tv sitcom openings ever.
I love, love, love Rhoda. Thanks for uploading. Glad she had her own show. She was fabulous on MTM too. As a matter of fact, I think she made the show, even though she was always belittled to make Mary look good. I hadn't seen any Rhoda shows before, so I hope that trend won't continue on her on show.

Everyone from the MTM shows has died except maybe Bess...Phyllis's daughter.
David Groh has passed on as well.
only julie kavner is left
That very fact disturbs me greatly. I look at All in the Family. The episode celebrating Archie's 50th birthday. At the moment I honestly look 10 years younger than Carroll O'Connor THEN.
When realistically I'm ten years older than he was now.
Everyday we lose a movie, TV or music icon we grew up with.
I Still wouldn't trade the era in which I was born for anything in the world not even another 20 years on this Earth.....well 😊
good clean fun, loved this then, lovin it now, thankyou
It's too bad Henry Winkler is forever known as Fonzie. He has a sweet, personable aura and deserved to be seen in a wide variety of roles.
He also had a cameo on MTM
He was great in the made-for-tv Patty Hearst movie
He was handsome
You should watch Arrested Development - Barry Zuckerkorn was amazingly funny!
What are you talking about? He has played many memorable roles both in TV and film.
I live only a few blocks away on the Grand Concourse from where Ida lived in the show...which is actually 1881 Grand Concourse. 3517 was a fictional address for the show. Loved this show💖.
I absolutely love Ida Morgenstern. She is one of my all time favorite characters. Nancy Walker was a genius.
No one could carry off a head scarf like Rhoda. She was the best.
Loved them all, but have a special soft spot for Julie Kavner as Brenda. Just the sort of person you'd want for a sister or best friend.
Yes!!! 🙌
She didn’t look it but she was a ride or die sister/best friend.
Dave Groh was so sexy!!!
This show is so funny. The writing is superior. I never saw the show before. Rhoda really had a successful spinoff.
I'm glad she was given this opportunity and she has a magnetism that the MTM Show missed when she left.
Here she is just wonderful.
I really really miss watching these old shows a whole whole lot
Omg...I have been addicted to Rhoda the last two days. What a great show it was!!! It was on when I was really small so I never really watched it and understoid it. My mom watched it.
Hope you continued to enjoy it. I was about 12 when it first aired in UK, during my school lunchbreak I THINK I recall. I loved it !!
I love Rhoda's mom's apartment, old vintage...yes!
Sanctuaryrain Agreed. So cute
RainGirl i
I think the affection between these Rhoda and her screen mom was genuine.
Did Nancy Walker ever get nominated for an emmy for her role on Rhoda? She certainly deserved one she is great as Ida.
Walker received four Emmy nominations for this role, 3 for "McMillan & Wife" and 1 for her guest role as Aunt Angela on "The Golden Girls." She also was nominated twice for a Tony Award (Broadway).

Hard to believe Brenda is now the voice of Marge Simpson
Great Writing
Henry Winkler had a guest spot on MTM and he was Rhoda's date, anyone remember?
Yup, the Veal Prince Orloff episode on Mary Tyler Moore!
He worked at hempls with Rhoda, and got fired after 4 years, so she couldn't say no to him when he asks her out, and sits at the little table and Rhoda gives half of her portion of the veal to him.
Oviously he didn't.
Vvvvv v vv vvb

One thing I love about this show is Ida. She dresses like & reminds me of my beloved deceased Yiayia (Grandmother in Greek). Add a heavy Greek accent & she was more adorable 😍.
I always wondered why Rhoda left on a Saturday night, and rode the subway with no where to go!!
My thoughts exactly.
Brenda's apartment was way more believable than the one on Friends.
I forgot all about this show. What a great opening
a played list off all 5 seasons should be on boxsets

I love her purple gown!!!
Me, too! 👗
I've never understood Marges... I mean Brenda Self-deprecation, she's not ugly, not overweight by much. She's funny and smart...
One of my favourite 70s comedies - it's a spin off from The Mary Tyler Moore Show but just as good. Lou Grant also came from the same stable.
As well as Phyllis, but her show wasn't as successful.
Great writers. Very funny. Equally key was the great delivery of lines. What a cast!
@@m1k3ywestley7 And Carlton got his own cartoon pilot, which is on UA-cam.

"I can only afford to move into the cleaning fee."

"I like your vibes" The Fonz in 1974.. Or me last week
Wow, look how young Henry Winkler (the Fonz) is in this !
"Cannon's Lunch Pail." That was such a funny line. :).
Great show
Who is the seal in the audience? Damn! 😂
i've heard him on pretty much every episode. LOL he must either have been a cast/crew member or someone who got into the audience regularly! LOL
Henry was quite cute here & Rhoda looked great too.
I know this is 70s money but hearing those rents is taking me OUT..... The $110 apartment in Minneapolis that she mentions would be $686 today according to the inflation calculator..... That is WILD
That distinct laugh you hear is the doorman Lorenzo Music. 😂
Brenda messing around with a 3rd cousin, lil creepy.
Rhoda was the best
she is sooo funny and she has the fonze on her show i love i.t sooo glad i have found it . oh and i love it she drops her hat in the credits and she gets all the attention, as she should she was beautiful the mum is sooooo funny and i love the music at the end. looks like i know what i will be watching for awhile SUPERB!

Me too. Second time to look at all 120 or so episodes in6 months. The humor alone has helped me cope with the loss of my beloved cousin Anne.
I can tell it was the 1970s by the psychodelic flare jeans and way out primary colours. That's Henry Winkler before he had cast him as the Fonz in Happy Days.
No one graduates from high school in Australia. A person either passes or fails the HSC ( similar to SAT in America), or leaves after completing year 10. Only tertiary students graduate.
It seems difficult, but it could be a happiness to remember 👌🏾💕🌷
Was this before Henry was on Happy Days?
Ida & Rhoda were the best mother- daughter team!
OMG. How old was Henry Winkler ( the Fonz) then? 19, 20, 21???
