- Rhoda thinks she may be pregnant, but she isn't sure enough to tell her husband Joe, especially when he comes home with the news that his business is facing economic troubles.
Air Date: November 18, 1974 - Розваги
Why do I always feel so at peace when watching Rhoda?🙂
Me too. It's an escape to simpler times.
Same
Old tv shows make me feel like this!
@@tajuorimolade6566 Same
Me too 😊
I'm 62 years old and I remember watching this show
I’m 72 and I’m glad I still remember it’s a joke,lol
This was a well written show! Great characters too. Top shelf acting❤
Hard to believe there was a time without home pregnancy tests. Lol
I know I was like why is she going to the dr lol I googled and 1977 they came out wow how crazy huh
😮@@Lifeafterthedarknarc
Valerie,.... I am sure if You tube had been popular back when your show was aired...there would be a lot more viewers and comments, all my friends watched you and everyone in school too thought you were terrific....
Joe wasneeded more than they realized on this show. His leaving left a void.
It wasn't as good after he left. I stopped watching after a while. I loved the character "Rhoda," tho.
I loved the seventies. And miss that decade. It had a lot going for it.
No pregnancy tests, no decaf coffee when you’re pregnant and diet talk while pregnant. It’s the 70s folks. 😆
I watched a lot of TV in the 1970s and usually the shows don't hold up but "Rhoda" is truly funny and well written. "The Shower" is my favorite. Real belly laughs.
IT does hold up really well. Not dated as MTM was. Still good show, but Rhoda is timeless!
The 1970's was when television really came of age, and reflected the realities of modern life. So many great sitcoms, especially the jewel in the crown of CBS---the Saturday night lineup!!!
I loved The Jeffersons at the time but it does not hold up well today
Yup, that episode of 'Rhoda' made me want to punch Linda Lavin in her smug, neurotic, pinched little stupid face. It has been said that any actor or actress who can elicit a strong emotional reaction from an audience, must be really skilled at their job. To that point, I detested Shelley Winters for many years, because of the horrible role of the rotten mother of a victimized blind girl that she played in the heartbreaking film, "A Patch of Blue." One of my all-time favourite films. Elizabeth Hartman and Sidney Poitier were both brilliant. Sensitive and sweet. She passed away tragically at a young age, and he passed away last year, I believe.
The patient intake forms are a couple little half-sheets. Now it's a thick packet of 10+ forms with every question under the sun. And the dr never reads them.
Beverly Sanders was great as Rhoda's pal, the perennially pregnant Susan Alborn. She was a carryover from MTM, as Rayette, the coffee shop waitress. She was great there, too.
I noticed in the bridal shower episode a very pregnant guest had wine too. I think it was just the times.
@Joshua Swain Yeh, great for the unborn!!!
miss Rhoda and all the shows from that era ! but the gang from Mary's world are my favs
@The mysterious Miss X Both MTM productions
"This looks like my senior class at graduation" Lol. True.
Joe's secretary looks a bit like a slightly younger version of Lucille Ball. I guess it's the red hair.
She is (or was) Cara Williams. She starred with Harry Morgan ( Col. Potter from M A S H ) in a sitcom called Pete and Gladys.
Remember her from an Alfred Hitchcock epi. 1950's. She was beautiful!

i rhought that too. but Lucy was prettier
Especially from the side.
What's with the 46 dislikes?! How could anyone not like this wonderful program? Or am I just bias because I watched it when I was a kid?
Never mind them, they don't have what we had and still cherish.
@@NatalieYOT Thank you for the kind words! 😃 (although UA-cam has changed it so we can no longer see the thumbs down votes) I was a teen when this first aired, and you?
Uugh .. millennials 😉followers of big labels .🇨🇦🪶
I wish she'd gotten pregnant..Donnie was a cute kid I like how Rhoda was motherly saying say hi to Mount Rushmore for me and gives him a kiss.. Valerie always played great mother roles just like on her Show Valerie on NBC..Im loving watching that show on Daily motion since UA-cam removed em awhile back! 💐👑
I was a teen when this show first aired... everything back then was "Modern" or "Mod" or "Hip n happenin' ". It was as if the 1970's were the last decade, and time would advance no further! lol.
Danish, muffin, donut, scone or croissant with a great cup of coffee!☕☕🍩🍩
These types of breakfasts were more common in yesteryears; especially danish.
Everything today is so anti-social. I remember all of us making dinner, eating dinner and cleaning up and then sitting on the couch to watch Rhoda. These show topics brought up some good conversations. This was "family time".
The fashion and technology has changed but the attitudes of people never change. I grew up in a household with no alcoholic beverages. We couldn't afford it except that my father would come home drunk everyday. I had assumed that only vagrants were alcoholics.
I feel for you. An alcoholic parent is the worst thing on the planet. Thank goodness you survived.
Wow I haven't seen this in years I was too young to appreciate how handsome Joe was
In response to the comments regarding two characters ingesting alcohol during pregnancy: The corelation of alcohol consumption during pregnancy and fetal damage is a relatively recent finding. I don't recall precisely when the problem was addressed, but it must've been in the 80s. If you've ever watched "The Way We Were", you've seen a pregnant Katie sitting on her deck in Malibu drinking a martini and smoking. You're right. Different times.
As someone who was an adult in the 70's, I can tell you that people knew it was not a good idea to drink when pregnant; but they were told that one or even two drinks would not have any negative effects on the baby. So even pregnant women would have an occasional drink. They also knew that cigarette smoking was not a good idea when pregnant; however, I can remember very definitely that the warning against cigarette smoking (for everyone) came out in the late 60's and it said, "cigarette smoking MAY be hazardous to your health." It did not say it definitely was hazardous to your health. Again, I think doctors said that an occasional cigarette would not harm the baby. Today we know that any alcohol or cigarette smoking is not good for a fetus and total abstinence is required.
Accept the fact she likely did. we all have.
This was the 70's besides she wasnt pregnant
Melanie Hamilton Rhoda said she wasn’t pregnant and drank the wine !!!!!!
@@faithfulchristian9171 The Surgeon Generals warning on cigarette packages and that it may be hazardous to your health was on packages in 1964. I believe that was the year it came out.
Such a good show!
Rhoda is one of my favourite shows. Love Rhoda Brenda and mam they are so funny. Joe is very handsome xx
When I think of Valerie Harper I always think, "New York, this is your last chance."
Also although Brenda is portrayed as not as attractive and overweight, I've always thought she was a cutie.
She gets a lot more attractive as the episodes go on.
scott smith I think she is lovely. I think she lost weight.
Brenda certainly loses quite a bit of weight..
I liked the way pregnant women dressed back then compared to now.
Totally agree
You find out everything you need to know about a man's character when you tell him you're pregnant.
Mantrap.
Amen to that. It takes a real man to be a parent.
@@samuelpenn2973 Use protection. Men and women use protection. A child is a big responsibility, and they are expensive. They are also a blessing. My daughter is now a Mental Health Therapist . It works out.
@@VictorianMetalGirl does he?
Comedy Genius, Rip Valerie, We all miss you .. 💔💔
I always loved Rhoda, but not so much after the divorce!
Loved the way. Rhonda asks Joe for date. And that's in the early 70's..
Una de mis series favoritas
Did anyone recognize the doctors office receptionist as "Elvira", the housekeeper, from Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? @16:48
Beautiful and talented actress.
Yes!
Yep. Sure did!!!
I was just about to write the very same comment!
I knew she looked familiar thanks!
To bad they should of written in that she was pregnant more story lines. Look what it did for I love Lucy.
WoW so true with Lucy, Ricki and the kids! 👌
since their marriage didn't last it wasn't a good idea
Brenda looks like she's taking a little bite off of Rhoda's style in this episode, haha
Yeah, just a tiny nibble. The beads.
Sara Lee! I love Rhoda!! She is a beautiful lady!!!!!!!!!!
No trouble at all for me.
Thanks heaps for the uploads!
x
Suspicious looking people in my beloved NYC!!!😁🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Joe was HOT! Even as he got older!😉
I dint know Lucy was on the Rhoda show..😄❗❗❗❗❗
Love this show
RIP Valerie Love you
David Groh was a hunk.
Many thought the actor was the wrong type to hook Rhoda up with.
How he died? When?
@@christinegoodman1334 2008, Kidney cancer...he was 68 years old.
@@anneoboyle426 thanks
@@anneoboyle426 :(
"This looks like our senior class at graduation." LOL
I was very young when Rhoda was on the air, but I was heartbroken when Joe divorced Rhoda. I stopped watching the show.
Me, too. 🥺
Wow!
When Lucy was 'pregnant,' in real life & the pregnancy had to be written into the show the word "pregnancy,' couldn't be used.
Not only that a minister, a priest, & a rabbi had to be hired to overseer the scripts!
What? No Muslim imam? No Buddhist priest? I am shocked, SHOCKED, at this religious discrimination!
She sure do look like Lucille ball!!.....like twins!!
Her name was Cara Williams
Rhoda was nicer in her own show than on the MTM show.
Oh, I'm not too sure about that. Her character and wit was what got her spinoff.
You mustn't understand Rhoda's character then. Rhoda is nice on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rhoda.
@@leesas_classics1722 She could be really abrasive at times on the MTM show.
We didn't need You Tube during the 1970s because the shows we watch on you tube were new on TV during the 1970s. Same goes for the 1960s. TV shows were terrific from 1960 to 1990. I think all the script writers were pushed off a cliff during January 1, 1990. The wife fearing she could be pregnant is a popular plot for a sitcom.
I liked all 5 seasons of "Rhoda" especially the last 2 seasons!
@@kevinashwood2146 I loved the first 2 best
Odd that she didn't tell Mary..
Ya that is weird that they didnt put that in the script.
Communication with Mary was nil on this show.
Donnie disappears in subsequent seasons.
Joe and rhoda got divorced
@@debrahelmlinger6256 But before that?
Carlton sounds like Garfield !?
Soooo what happened to Joe ? He was good !!! I liked him !!!
He and Rhoda split up quite early on... and divorced.
That very pregnant guest is the same one in this episode. Still pregnant! Rhoda still on the pill.
anyone else having trouble playing this one?
I forgot about the tied blouses trend back then.
Loved that look
That has come back. They're just made tied now.
@@CrystalM1917 You have to have the waist for that. And back then I did.
Susan is funny! 😂
@berrylicious yes she was, just love her ❤
i loved them as a couple. they ruined the show making them separate..i bet it was the beginning of the end.
Women smoked and drank back
Then while
Pregnant they brush it off and say oh the doctor said it was fine !!
Said the same about Thalidomide.
Brenda's knock-knock got real old real fast.
All of the 70s in a wee bunch
Rhonas blouse looks like its made out of bacon at 3:29
Weren’t there home pregnancy tests in the 70s?
No. They came later if my memory serves me
I remember home pregnancy tests were a new thing when I used one in 1980. It took around half an hour (approximately) to get the results. It was how I found out my son was on the way.
@@allcatz i was born in 85 and my mom still went to the doctor to find out.
@Crystal McCarroll of course, confirmation by a doctor was an option and recommended if one's test was positive. I distinctly recall doing the test at home, which was EPT, and was an involved process including a test tube and its holder. A positive result was a circle at the bottom of the test tube. My mom was amazed we could do a home test. My son was born August of 1981 and I'll never forget how I felt seeing that ring shape at the bottom that tube! Btw, I still have the holder because my mom did a craft project with it and gave it to me as a keepsake.
@@allcatz thats pretty cool. Thats great you did that bc nowadays women keep their tests too...i have my tests from when i was pregnant with both my sons. I would love to see what a vintage test looks like.
Once Joe left the show went downhill.
Joe mentions only having 1 ex-wife, but in previous episodes he has talked about his several previous marriages...oy
Where? He was only married once
how could Joe let her drink wine before he even knew she wasn't pregnant!
ElineMusic21 Rhoda asked for the glass of wine so she knew she wasn't pregnant
Back then women still drank if they felt like it for the most part.
Joshua Swain geez, calm down.
Hey
The economy. Then and now.😟😊😟
that woman is trying way too hard to be lucy there's only been one and fran drescher tried too hard to be lucy for years that's enough
It was good Rhoda didn't get pregnant by Joe he left her for stupid reasons... She made huge mistake marry Joe...
The one thing I hated about this show...Joe...I love this show but I wish she would have stayed single...Joe is such an jerk
How is he a jerk??
Hey!.....Agree, he is an obnoxious, arrogant, ulgy asshole......
He just seemed grumpy most of the time but was very nice during the pregnancy episode.
I agree. Good looking, but a jerk.
Joe always seems happier to see and talk to Brenda than he does to Rhoda. Oddly, as lovable as she is, Rhoda is less likable in her own series than she was in MTM. She’s more self-involved, demanding and clothes horsie than she used to be.
You must not have watched many episodes.
What is clothes horsie? 🤔😅
@@CrystalM1917 Loves clothes and squires a lot of them
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Brenda wore clothes that were too big, and they made her look even bigger than she was.
I think soon after this is when they banned smoking. Tv shows and commercials.
I don’t remember when ads were banned but they smoked on Cheers in the mid-80s, about 8 years after Rhoda ended.
Not all birth control is effective.
It seems in many shows Beverly Sanders always played the pregnant lady.
And she did it well.
@@jamesr1703 Yes she did.
Joe looks a bit like Chico Marx.
Yes, he does!
Bittersweet is the word.
Horrible episode. She should have dumped Joe. It would have been a better show if they kept her single to the end. Marry off to wrap up the show.
Rhoda is not pregnant ! thanks
RHODA, JOE, & PREGNANCY: ...nice early ep of "Rhoda" where she contemplates being a Mother; 'Rho' was a working woman during the 70's feminist era, and tackling upcoming economic woes (on Joe's side)...she was right, to NOT become pregnant at that time, being, that SHE may be the breadwinner of the Household..Rhoda subtly tackling a WOMAN'S CHOICE, without it being heavy-handed....
...Joe had to deal with his business imploding, and, probably would've come to HATE Rhoda, if she DID get pregnant....LOVE the relaxed acting of Valerie & David; they give off a 'conversational tone' in body movement, and verbalizing...a SHAME, that the characters didn't make it as a couple...
Hey!......that Red Head is so irritating....
Hihi
Why is she drinking coffee ? Why is she taking the pill while married and 34 and childless
Because they are newly married and havent planned for a child as yet....
They weren't ready for a child and hey have you heard, some people don't even want children
I think that 1970s shows, unless they were a family comedy, were more likely to have childless couples. For example the Good Life, in the UK, had 2 couples who were married for years, both childless.
Rhonda
If she was pregnant why is there wine with lunch?
They didn’t realize it was a problem until the 80’s.
Babies love wine!
