This show brings back a lot of good memories. Sitting on my mom's bed eating chips, just before bedtime watching different sitcoms on black and white TV. My dad, downstairs watched a different Chanel on the TV downstairs. I don't remember having a color TV until i was about 12 years old. You know such simple things seemed to bring such enjoyment back then.
The simple things, like real food instead of junk food, family being in the same room together, having conversations about their lives...instead of glued to glowing screens. Yeah, nostalgia for the good old days.
@@FigaroHey beats staring at cell phones ignoring the family and friends. We snacked a little, commented on the show and talked during commercials. It was great.
This is a great lesson for today. NEVER ignore the red flags you get. We all know that she and Joe get married and he tells her he is not sure he wants to be married and they get divorced. In the first 3 episodes alone, they fight when they meet, he ditches her to go to a ballgame, he sleeps over at his ex-wife's house, tells her that they should see other people and generally behaves like an ass. Instead of heeding all these red flags, she pushes full steam ahead into a relationship with a self-centered guy that is not that into you Rhoda, that she has to constantly soothe his ego, make excuses for his bad behavior, always saying she is sorry for not being as understanding as he wants her to be and has to use sex to keep him remotely interested. Run Rhoda Run.
PrincessofErised You know what? I’m only now starting to watch Rhoda on this channel. I wasn’t allowed to watch it as a kid in the 70s. I’m completely shocked (and Ive only made it to this episode)! Already I think she was too good for Joe! Way too good. Already I think he kind of treated her rudely. I thought the character of Rhoda was supposed to be this independent woman and all that. What were the writers thinking?
The character of Rhoda, even on MTM wasn't all that independent. Somewhat opinionated? Yes. Independent ? Not even Mary was all that independent. It's just my opinion, but I get the idea from a lot of sitcoms that women put up with a lot, and ignored red flags because they always figured: I can change him. Men NEVER think like that, women ALWAYS think like that.
RIP also Lorenzo Music and Ron Silvers and David Groh...who after Rhoda went on to do a well respected performance on General Hospital. Harold Gould was so handsome!!!!!!!!
I miss CLEAN tv. The shit that kids watch today is just sad and unbelievable... It's a farts and poops and butts...unreal. Like all the good manners we used tot each are out the window - it's ALL about doing what YOU want. That's not SOCIETY - that's ANARCHY lol ;) There's almost nothing you can watch without SOME type of embarrassment for someone at ANY age... What do you expect though when nowadays parents LITERALLY buy their kids SHIT toys to play with. A piece of shit (emoji) is what PARENTS give to their kids... The world's all fucked up... It ALWAYS has been but I like going back to THESE times when it wasn't in our face 24/7. Ignorance WAS bliss ;) Cheers.
It’s neat to see the small parts being done by actors who went on to bigger things. This episode had the future Johnny Fever (WKRP in Cincinnati) and the precious episode had The Fonz (Happy Days).
Am I the only one who got the feeling that this Rhoda is completely different from the character we know and love in the Mary Tyler Moore Show? It's so weird
I always liked Valerie Harper even in her 1980s series titled Valerie. It was a pity that she was fired from the sitcom. It was never the same with the main character killed off.
This is when the show should have taken a turn to have Rhoda date other guys and see Joe off and on. It would have kept the spirit of Rhoda alive longer and maybe she could have married Joe later on down the road. The show could have had a longer run then it did!
It lasted 5 seasons! ..still a successful show!..The show's wedding episode of Joe & Rhoda was one of the most watched single episodes in TV history up to that point..they later divorced in season 3, and that's when ratings started to go downhill..seems people preferred Rhoda & Joe together after all over her being single..Plus, I'm thinking that was probably more than enough for Valerie after playing Rhoda on this show as well as The Mary Tyler Moore show..The show lasted longer than "Phyllis", the other spin-off series anyway..
@@Muzikgirl67 I believe that record STILL stands. I was the only show ever to be No 1 in the nielsen rating on it's pilot episode. This show broke all kinds of records at that point... HUGE show. They tried to do what was RIGHT story wise but people didn't want it and that killed the show...still lasted 2 more seasons but the ratings were junk by then...same with Phyllis.
No. He is a man with a business. I speak from experience. "NICE" men cannot run a business, they would get destroyed. By the way, Joe IS nice...you should meet some REAL businessmen...
This is where the show could have taken another turn for the better. Joe did not want to get married again as he so stated. Rhoda was back out again in the dating circle again which made her character the most appealing. When she got married to Joe the character changed and it seemed she was constantly trying to get approval from Joe and forgot who she was in her own right. Joe was not right for her. When they divorced Rhoda had already lost her edge and the show finally ended. The best way to see Rhoda at her best is in the Mary Tyler Moore show . Howard Hesseman is so funny! He eventually married Anne Romano in One Day at a Time. RIP Valerie and the cast of Rhoda. r
People opining about “red flags” need to consider that this show is from the 70s. For the 70s, Joe was pretty “advanced” for a man. Modern eyes see decades worth of societal introspection about the more problematic aspects of romantic relationships between men and women…Insights which weren’t as fully developed or widely adopted in 1974. Hell…Maude had only been on for 2 years!
The part where Rhoda is trying to think of happy marriages that work - she names Princess Grace and Prince Rainier - from what I've read, they were not happy...
He is already breaking her heart ... not good. (How is it that I can see it all so clearly now, but not when I was in a 16-year relationship that wasn't good for me?) Someone commented on one of these episodes that Rhoda is actually the precursor to Carrie in Sex and the City, and I think that's very apparent in the way they deal with men. They're independent-minded women as long as they don't care too much, but they both become somewhat undone when they fall in love for real (weakened instead of strengthened). Is it because of the type of man they fall for? Is it because they love too much and that level of love is not reciprocated? Are there relationships where love between the two people is relatively equal or is there always an imbalance? At 42, I have more questions than ever-and, at least right now, no real desire to fall in love again. It feels kind of like a form of tyranny in retrospect.
Shows like this taught us women that it was ok to be single. Amongst the failures and successes you didn't have to be married make it in the world today. Other shows were That Girl and Mary Tyler Moore.

Even back thank good family values were ALLOWED to be shown in TV shows. what Rhoda was talking to Joe about successful marriages. Marriages take work, abut a lot of young people believe and are being told in college, that marriages are not supposed to last. Bullcrap. Its because they didn't choose the right person, and were afraid to WORK at the marriage and make sacrifices for each other and didn't really love each other and don't know how to talk to each other.
And Joe and that whole 'Me Generation' were the role-models for selfishness in relationships. Joe is totally selfish, all about himself, impatient, with anger issues - useless.
Today's world is a cesspool of ignorance. The do what you want attitude and they way they ignore history (since google thinks for them) is pathetic quite frankly. Everything you said is TRUE. From a marriage taking work (nowadays though, you just say fuck and move on...wtf is THAT?) to saying it wont last...etc etc Lots of babies in hollywood NOW crying about their shitty childhoods. EVERYTHING now is 'I hate you mom, I hate you dad'... The world is trouble because we don't TEACH the babies anymore... Only people that are content are the phone zombie sheep people or a certain sect that just says to hell with the rules anyways. Oh SURE life is grand when you can just say fuck it and WALK AWAY from your problems.
@@FigaroHey that's what TODAY is all about. Me Me Me...he's got nothing on people today lol Watch 'They Live' people...more important today then it was back then.
This is really good for an oldtimey tv show ❤ Rhoda reminds me of penny from Big Bang Theory and Joe reminds me of Vince Vaughn from those old 90s movies 👍
The phone booth! I'll bet there are many many movie and tv plot points dependent upon phone booths, now gone from the landscape! One of my favorite is Jumping Jack Flash with Whoopie Goldberg. I think The Sting also used a phone booth, plus a wonderful scene in The Best Years of our Lives in a drug store phone booth. Enjoy! 🍿📽️🍿.
My sisters and I often felt that our parents were exactly like the Morgensterns. My mother was a genius at manipulating via guilt and my father often just blended into the background.
For some reason, Rhoda is too desperate. She pushed Joe into marriage. To me, a relationship with Joe would be emotionally exhaustive. I liked Johnny Fever's 1980s sitcom Head of the Class, where he taught a class of genius kids in high school.
She wants to know he cares. He is not crazy about her the way a woman wants to feel that. anything less for a woman she should walk away. Better for the woman, if the man loves you a little more than you love them. I heard that years ago. The red flag is when he tells her she can see other people. No woman wants to hear that.
@@StrongnBeautiful I completely agree with you! The writers put that show right into the toilet. I'm sure it frustrated the heck out of Valerie and the rest of them.
I managed to start 1/2 a dozen episodes in…. Joe may be a dish… in looks but his character , (even though through the process of divorce) , now stands out. By starting at episode 1….that Rhoda and he was not a great match. I would have like to see Rhoda have so more magic moments with a guy that brought some joy to her life. Val was such a dynamic classy lady.
Joe was cute, but he had alot of relationship/commitment issues. He was embittered. She acted so desperate to marry, and that clouded her judgement. Rhoda dated Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati! LOL. Rhoda should have been more cynical about Joe, as she was toward other men. They probably should have dated longer.Their marriage lasted only about 2 years.
Rhoda had to have this period in her life where she tried marriage. EVERYONE out there calls it a huge mistake - including the mostly-now-deceased network executives and some of the people who created the character of Rhoda. No. It was absolutely essential and imperative that Rhoda marry. It was a plot point. Then once it failed, she could return to doing what she did best - being single. Could there have been five seasons about Rhoda the Single Woman Back In New York After 10 Years in Minneapolis? Sure...but it wouldn't have been as interesting and it probably would've gotten stale a lot faster. "Rhoda", the show, got better after Joe was out of the picture. There was zero way they could've kept doing years of Rhoda and Her Pissed Off Husband Joe Who Had A Weakness For Younger Girls.
Like most children I had never understood sarcasm when I was a boy. It had went over my head. The same with anyone who was assertive and very direct. So, after watching this show and other sitcoms, it gave me a distorted view of Americans and their wonderful lifestyle. I had assumed they were better than my demented relatives and mindless school friends.
I like when Rhoda and Brenda are living together... Rhoda is the calm one. And Brenda gets upset she wants to eat...It reminds me of myself. When I was growing up that's exactly what I did....
Back in the days of this series the seventies Women still wanted to get married even though they were reading Betty Friedan and wanting equal rights but this relationship between Rhoda and Joe went way to fast two weeks and Rhoda wanted a commitment Joe was married before so he is paying for a house and child support what did Rhoda think would happen
I’m sorry - love the show but the laugh track is too loud. Talking is low then laugh track blasts. All streaming channels of this show comes thru mtmepisodes. Hey mtmepisodes haw about reducing the volume on the laugh track?! Where’s Normy Bates?
It's SO stupid!!! If a man thinks that someone ELSE wants you then he loves you and must have you!!! He should just see that you are the one to continue on with if he has any emotional feelings for you!!! Shouldn't need validation! Simple and honest. But you know......."they" ( the writers) are showing the reality of this life......
Not since moving back to NY. Apparently her being Jewish wasn't a big deal since she moved back to be with more Jews lol You'd think the opposite wouldn't you? lol
I've always loved Rhoda and Joe! Never felt the same after the divorce! Nearly 50 years later, here I am!
show lost something when he left but I did like her with that bank guy.

David Groh (Joe) was so darn handsome! Sadly, he passed away in 2008 at the age of 68...May he be resting in heavenly peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏
