    I'm glad you folks like it. It was inspired by my own real life wedding. I told told my totally screwed up wonderful wedding day to Lorenzo Music. He was co-producer as well as the voice for Carlton the doorman. Real life is often wilder than anything you can imagine.

      Actually it's only the ending. The guy who was supposed to pick up my wife to be never showed up so she had to ride the subway to the church. Anyway when she got there she found that I too was late. Traffic was a mess so it almost didn't happen until I showed @ the very last minute just before the priest went home. Good memories.

      It’s lovely to see New York City during that era, and peoples expression which seem to be natural and not coached. I assume they just filmed her getting on the subway and the street scenes and didn’t do a pre-planned fashion which is made to look for of the moment. It’s always interesting to see people’s expressions on their faces, which are natural, trying to figure out what this lady is doing in a wedding dress on public transport and running through the streets.

Watching this again tonight brings back floods of great memories of innocent times as they were all those decades ago. To those who are as old as I am I am sure you know what I mean, the world was a better place than. It gives me hope watching this tonight that we can some day return to good values and morals compared to now that we had then. Thank you Valerie Harper for giving us Rhoda!

    I'm surprised to find myself a little sad watching this episode, given how Rhoda's marriage turned out. Harper and Groh had good chemistry, and the producers' belief that Rhoda had lost her "edge" as a married woman is ridiculous. The show never regained its footing after the couple's separation. What was for two seasons a hugely successful show is now best remembered as a failure. Harper deserved better.

After that .. who knows. I would have LOVED to see Myrna Morganstein and Suzy (the blonde who played "Rayette" the waitress on the Mary Tyler Moore Show) worked into the script as friends / "gal pals" to Rhoda and Brenda They were both cute and funny . There was an episode where they all had a slumber party - it was funny.

      They should've kept Rhoda in Minnesota and on Mary Tyler Moore. I think both shows struggled in dynamics when they split Moore and Harper. Rhoda never had the same spunk she had on MTM. Moore was good enough to carry her own show, but the character of Rhoda was not written well enough on Rhoda for Harper to carry the show herself.

    I used to watch "Rhoda" when it was aired in Italy (I'm Italian) in the early eighties, and I liked it a lot. I like it even more watching it now in American (even though I don't understand all the lines); it reminds me of other times, good times. I especially love Brenda and her way of crying "hey hey hey!" before hugging someone else. Greetings to everyone from Rome!

      I'm here October 29, 2019. Watched all the shows EXCEPT the wedding. Feel "bad" because they got divorced so I put it off. I know....because of the bored selfish people who wanted more angst from the single girls. Ratings….bleah……I don't know why I didn't think of ALL the old friends that would be here!! Wonderful!! Guess they HAVE been on a long flight! Funny.....look at them! ha! Oh....They gave them free liquor. ( I'm texting as I am watching the show )

    Cloris Leachman was Hilarious as Phyllis Lindstrom. She was so good that She stole every scene she was in on The MTM show and even here on Rhoda. Phyllis' scenes on Rhoda had the audience in stitches! I am glad they let her guest star on Rhoda even if it was just two episodes..

      Apparently marrying Rhoda off made the ratings go down! The producers realized this afterwards and decided to divorce Joe and Rhoda. Marrying off Rhoda was a big mistake, seems that the public preferred Rhoda to be single!

    An unforgettable episode. And an absolute SENSATION at the time. The dash (in her wedding gown) from the Mt Eden stop (on the 4) along the Cross Bx, and across the Concourse has become Television History - and rightly so. No single form of media today can hold us in its power the way "Rhoda" did in 74. Valerie, full props. Whatever the future may hold, you will live forever in our hearts.

    Great acting and writing throughout this whole episode. Valerie Harper was so good. To stay in character running around NYC and on the subway no less was a feat. I'm sure she couldn't wait to get out of that dress. On a side note: cars sure were huge in the 70's.

    Man when the writers saw how fans sent wedding gifts and the record breaking ratings this episode got, why on earth would they ever think of breaking them up??? Even if they thought married Rhoda was boring the audience obviously didn't mind tuning in. I do applaud them for daring to be different tho, other sitcoms at the time never bothered to step out of the status quo for main characters. I would've loved to see Rhoda become a mom.

    • @LannieLord

      At least Rhoda lied about her age. In all of the Rhoda show intros Valerie Harper says that she was born in New York in 1941. But I remember what I read about her and when she had passed away. They all said that Valerie Harper was born in 1939, so at least she took a couple of years off her age.

    Our Rhoda going through the city is timeless. No one ever thought of doing this to a character. It was revolutionary. I have watched this over the years and always thing there was wild music playing as she traveled but it’s sparse . It’s mixed in with sounds of the city and there is something just terribly beautiful seeing her navigating that moment as she always did in life. The entire country was with ya, kid. We miss you. We love you.

    @TryTheBLT 10 років тому +32

    drmgrl11 - That laugh you hear is James L. Brooks, creator of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, Taxi, The Simpsons, and more. His laugh is unique, and always stood out because he was so close to the boom (overhead microphone on a pole). On many of the shows he created and co-created you can hear his signature laugh on certain episodes. I'm sure if The Simpsons had been real life with an audience instead of animated we'd be hearing his laugh there too :-)

    Brings back great memories. Especially the extraordinary Broadway actress Nancy Walker as Rhoda's mother. When Rhoda and Joe eventually split up, Rhoda doesn't tell Ida. But she knows everything! In an effort to get Rhoda to spill the bad news, she advises her to "separate your thoughts."
