@ Just because she was 81 (actually 80 but that's besides the point) it means one is not supposed to grieve and be saddened by her passing? My grandfather passed away when he was 92 and it took me a long time to come to terms with it. You can be saddened and grief stricken for the death of someone who was 80 equally as much for someone who'd passed away at 30.
Professionally, Valerie was nominated for a Tony but in her personal life she got to win a Tony (Cacciotti) and kept winning each and every year they were together.
Great episode! Never seen it before. Thank you for posting. Joan Van Ark who played Marion, Joe's ex-wife, was such a beautiful woman before she hacked her face to pieces with multiple atrocious plastic surgeries.
@@marinazagrai1623Huh? I went there as a Canadian teen in a photography class trip in 1988 and it was great. Stayed right near Times Square - took my friends on a horse and buggy ride in Central Park and made them go for dinner at the famous Sardi’s because I’d seen it in many old movies I was a fan of and met Eddie Mekka coming out of the door when I held it open for him. He was surprised a teenager recognized him because he was bald for a role in a play. We also went to Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Battery Park and the Empire State Building. Hard Rock Cafe was a letdown though. I’m still salty the waiter took my half finished sandwich without asking when I turned to talk to someone. That shit was expensive back then and I was still hungry. Still don’t know how we fit so much into one weekend and why teachers gave kids so much freedom to explore a strange (in a good way) city. Yet, I’m still alive and I played on railroad tracks as a young child…
When she said, “you’re right, I shouldn’t have asked that…..but since I did, why don’t you answer me?” or “too late, you’ve already clinked!” Too funny! How is it Julie Kavner and Valerie Harper have Emmys, but not Nancy Walker?!? Travesty.
I really love Brenda's apartment. It's so cozy and has that vintage aesthetic I adore. Wish I could someday find an apt like that in NYC but w/70s pricing, LOL.
Rhoda's Bohemian apt,was definitely me,but I loved Mary Tyler Moore's fashion and always loved Betty White, And The Golden Girls and Designing Women. That entire era, was great and then came Dallas,Dynasty, Falcons Hurst, and the 60's, 70's 80's exceptional fashion.
Valerie you were my Teenage Icon not only will you pretty you would talented and I can relate as a Jewish woman to everything that went on on the show you're truly missed rest in peace my fellow Virgo
I find that I every time I obsess over a show I end up buying a mug or a sweatshirt of it😂 i did the same with cheers, Laverne and Shirley... i love Rhoda now! You 70s people grew up with some great shows. :)
Kass Ayala Yep! We had great shows back in the day! Every night, there was something worth turning the tv on for in the 70s. We had some cool, memorable shows in the 80s & even a few in the 90s too. But as I write this in 2017, it seems like tv's great heyday has passed. I'm so thankful for TH-cam! There are a few channels that show retro tv shows but it's usually just the same few shows repeatedly instead of expanding to include more old tv series we used to enjoy.
Kass Ayala I was nine when this show aired as a spin off of the MTM Show, yes we kids from the 70's had great shows to watch, Saturday night on CBS was always "Mary Tyler Moore" "All In The Family" "Maude" and "The Carol Burnette Show" I actually remember watching the premier of "Saturday Night Live" with my two older brothers.
I ❤️ Rhoda. She is a strong lady even though she airs all of her frustrations and insecurities the average person carries, but won’t talk about. In the end after the drama, she always keeps her chin, comes out on the top, and pushed forward.
Incredibly talented cast and writers! Nancy Walker has some immortal lines! Thanks so much for uploading these. We need a little humor these days. 🧡🙏🕊️ RIP to all who have gone ahead. 🤍🙏🕊️
Mike Bibeault I agree! I put off watching this because I assumed this particular episode wouldn't be all that funny but it actually was. Mostly hilarious due to Ida. Lol. She's a trip. PS: Ok, how many times is that 1 glass of wine gonna get re-poured? It was Ida's, then she put it in a fresh glass for Marion's date, & then at the end, she was pouring it in Rhoda's glass (who by the way didn't need more wine since being tipsy was the whole reason Ida & Martin had to come get her.)
Yolanda Grady I didnt think it would be funny either. But,was hilarious! Ida is a trip! The pouring wine back & forth in glasses was too funny! And I agree Rhoda didnt need no more. Lol😂
Love this show! Valerie was SO beautiful and funny. Such a talented woman. I think I’ll be binge watching these episodes. RIP 🙏, thank you for all the laughter.
Things really went down in quality as the series went on, but even so, i still like to watch the stinky episodes anyway, because the characters are so beloved.
I never missed this show. I thought Rhoda was hilarious. I wanted her as my best friend. The show was so well written. She will be missed. I love you Valerie.
I think one of the best things from the Rhoda show was Brenda. Some of the later shows didn't age well, too much outdated therapy after the divorce, but Brenda was a joy and was featured more after Joe went bye-bye.
We used to have " make out parties" in Cobo after School...5 girls and us four lads...we were all ten...some of the things we got up to took sex education to a whole new level!!! Shocking!!!
Watching this, I can forget the hellacious year 2020 and return to the 70s, a mad, giddy time when it was so much fun to be young. Thank you, Valerie Harper, for the joy you gave.
2:24 That blouse that Valerie is wearing would fit right in today's styles!!! Watch the reruns of "The Bionic Woman." Lindsay Wagner has some neat clothes!! As well!!
The last time I watched RHODA was back in the day here in Malta as a teenager...iv just stumbled on it & after watching this episode it reminds me why it was such a hit back than & why I enjoyed it so very much!! (Already decided I'm getting the box set for xmas!!) Rest in peace Valerie Harper. Love from malta😎
I love the volume on this! I'm serious, this must be the first YT video where I lowered the volume. (I have my volume set on maximum level even with my headphones on.) I didn't have to use headphones.
belia1313 Lastes The 'kind of' guys are better because they are often 'kinder'. As in life, there are no easy/foolproof keys, clues, fixes or answers. Often there are 'tells', 'red flags', warning signs and especially, watch out for anyone who is "too good to be true". A good thing to do is listen to or research other people's experiences, behaviors, those 'Ted talks', etc. And always take everything with 'a pound of salt'. Trust your instincts, but remember, if you're from any type of abusive background or experience (especially a child witnessing adults/caregivers/parental abuse) your safety issues may be lacking or screwed. (Also, regarding love/hate/indifference, IF YOU LOVE YOUR ABUSER, (example: your father), YOUR FEELINGS ARE NOT WRONG, but THERE MUST BE SERIOUS, SEVERE, CUTTING OFF (ENDING/STOPPING CONTACT UNTIL >AS A CAPABLE ADULT LIMITED CONTACT maybe only still by phone or letters, address withheld, CONTACT BETWEEN EQUALSWHICH WILL BE 'AHEAD TRIP', BECAUSE THE ABUSER IS A MANIPULATOR). To repeat, you can still love the perpetrator, IF THAT'S IN YOUR HEART, BUT NEVER LEAVE A VICTIM TO BE VICTIMIZED. Sometimes, I put certain comments in 'unusual' places, but when I feel motivated, that's what I do, usually comments are about Jesus or death, so consider yourselves 'lucky', lol! Seriously, concerning death, 'LOVE. NEVER. DIES.' The love of your 'loved ones' who have 'passed on' before you (even the minutes old babies, when you meet them in Heaven, you will be amazed at their personalities, their family resemblance, etc.& you'll say, "I knew you were going to be brilliant!"), not only lives on forever, but grows stronger in remembrance (even the fighting & hard times, you'll eventually remember with tears of understanding & laughter!)
I was so upset about Valerie's Harper death couldn't even write about it - I thought of her as absolutely beautiful, attractive - and played this part bang on to the hilt -it was awesome - cannot tell you how extraordinary I felt this show was - and notice - real life - no cell phones, no computer screens - just real life, real writing and real comedy.
21:50 - Ida always had a way of totally making a fool out of people, especially those who really deserved it. She knew Marian was a total witch and even in her own home, wasn't afraid to just let her have it!
Had to pay a visit to see Rhoda, after seeing my mum on her 80th birthday yesterday!! Part of the day was reminiscing about watching Rhoda back in the day, great memories!! ....RIP Valerie 😊💕
@@angelacarleton9575 I think Joan's most unfortunate plastic surgery mishap is whatever she's had done to her lips. They look like reconstructed lips of a burn victim. Other than that, I think it's just bad makeup choices for her these days...
Rhodha is a timeless TV SERIES - thanks for the upload - I really like the tops that she wears, fashion designers should recreate an updated fashion collection from her TV shows
Wow! That was a GOOD line at the end to close the show. Honestly I was born way after is show and I'm only learning about it here on TH-cam but this is fantastic, timeless writing. Good comedy transcends generations.
I wonder how many more TH-cam channels I'm going to find that are uploading Valerie's TV show because she passed away, this was a wonderful idea thank you for uploading this, she was a great actress and she will be missed
I forgot that Joan Van Ark plays Joe's ex-wife.....who knew she'd go on to her most famous role on Knots Landing just 3 years later (starting on Dallas)....
Coincidentally both these actresses would go on to play Jason Bateman's mom in different tv shows during the 1980's. Caren Kaye played Jason's mom in "It's Your Move" and Valerie Harper played Jason's mom in "Valerie".😅
@@20alphabet Rhonda not a beauty queen or bikini model she had her own TV show, I was trying to be nice, mary Tyler..Moore used pretty on the dick van ike show she was a dream wife
"Ma, I don't need any 'meat money'!" Love this show so hard now, I want to cry when I watch it! How did we become such an ugly society and move so far from this more witty and loving time?
Yep the good old days….vietnam, watergate, gay bashing, pollution, cocaine , porno theaters, cops shooting blacks, gas shortages , poverty….oh yeah people were people ok 🙄
I grew up during these MTM sit-com spinoffs. I like to look at the air dates and figure out what I was doing at the time as a fun pastime. I had just started 7th grade when this aired. I was probably doing homework when it showed, pre-algebra.
Remember in “Romy & Michelles High School Reunion” when they got into a fight over who was like Rhoda & who was like Mary- implying that Mary was the prettier one.....I always thot Rhoda was so much prettier. She looks beautiful in these episodes. ....Mary was great but Rhoda was also funnier.
The foreshadowing was clear from the inception: Joe was divorced and had no desire to remarry; Rhoda was lovely but insecure and transparently needy. It could never work.
Emily Edwards The writers had to adhere to strict moral codes concerning certain issues and dialogue because this show was aired during family hour during the mid 1970s in America.
Both women were beautiful when this show was taped. Each in their own way. Unfortunately, one chose plastic surgery instead of growing old gracefully. I’m sure she has regretted that decision ever since. If only we could accept ourselves as we are, the world would be a more beautiful place.
@@gheller2261that makes no sense There was plenty of story Mary was on the show never got married. This is where Roto should’ve differentiated from the marital immoral so you have three series, Phyllis, Rhoda and Mary single ? Nah getting rid of Joe was a bad mistake and it showed in the ratings later on
Don't know why Rhoda is insecure after meeting the ex-wife. She's WAY better looking than Marian. Funny, I know Valerie Harper's name, but I can't think of the name of the actress playing Marion. Joan Van Ark. Just watched the credits.
There’s a fundamental disconnect between the insecurities of a character like Rhoda, and the fact that she was played by a really good looking woman, Valerie Harper. You just have to go with it and pretend that Rhoda/Valerie isn’t beautiful.
Many beautiful women have insecurities. Many have hang ups about their looks just like regular people. All people have their problems. The emphasis on looks in society is way too important for all of us.
Rhoda looks so beautiful in Season 2… She always was beautiful but I thought this season she was glowing. 😊
What about me? I'm beautiful also.
Get over your self ❤
Much better looking than Joan Van Ark, who was the epitome of "blonde equals pretty" even when the woman wasn't.
I got to meet her in 2015 classy sweet lady.
@@roseasher9124Joan?
I still can't get over Valerie Harper passing away. RIP, sweet little angel. You will never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace, dear Valerie. After playing Rhoda from 1970-1978....returned to theater...many movies...got a Tony nomination.
Professionally, Valerie was nominated for a Tony but in her personal life she got to win a Tony (Cacciotti) and kept winning each and every year they were together.
She played Rhoda longer than Mary Tyler Moore played Mary Richard’s
By at least two years
9 years she played Rhoda from 1970 til 1979

Great episode! Never seen it before. Thank you for posting. Joan Van Ark who played Marion, Joe's ex-wife, was such a beautiful woman before she hacked her face to pieces with multiple atrocious plastic surgeries.
Was that before or after this episode?

She looks horrible now. She was so attractive in Knots Landing.
One of my favourite growing up shows. Loved Rhoda, she made me want to visit New York. Took me another 30 years but I did it :)
Except for some museums, having visited the city in 1990, it's nothing to write home about. It was always a mess of a city.

As in life, there are no easy/foolproof keys, clues, fixes or answers. Often there are 'tells', 'red flags', warning signs and especially, watch out for anyone who is "too good to be true". A good thing to do is listen to or research other people's experiences, behaviors, those 'Ted talks', etc. And always take everything with 'a pound of salt'. Trust your instincts, but remember, if you're from any type of abusive background or experience (especially a child witnessing adults/caregivers/parental abuse) your safety issues may be lacking or screwed. (Also, regarding love/hate/indifference, IF YOU LOVE YOUR ABUSER, (example: your father), YOUR FEELINGS ARE NOT WRONG, but THERE MUST BE SERIOUS, SEVERE, CUTTING OFF (ENDING/STOPPING CONTACT UNTIL >AS A CAPABLE ADULT LIMITED CONTACT maybe only still by phone or letters, address withheld, CONTACT BETWEEN EQUALSWHICH WILL BE 'AHEAD TRIP', BECAUSE THE ABUSER IS A MANIPULATOR). To repeat, you can still love the perpetrator, IF THAT'S IN YOUR HEART, BUT NEVER LEAVE A VICTIM TO BE VICTIMIZED.
Sometimes, I put certain comments in 'unusual' places, but when I feel motivated, that's what I do, usually comments are about Jesus or death, so consider yourselves 'lucky', lol! Seriously, concerning death, 'LOVE. NEVER. DIES.' The love of your 'loved ones' who have 'passed on' before you (even the minutes old babies, when you meet them in Heaven, you will be amazed at their personalities, their family resemblance, etc.& you'll say, "I knew you were going to be brilliant!"), not only lives on forever, but grows stronger in remembrance (even the fighting & hard times, you'll eventually remember with tears of understanding & laughter!)
David Groh played on General Hospital way back "Brock" married to "Bobbie" (Jackie Zemen) his character was abusive.

Both women look great, but why do writers insist on making the 'brunette' inferior. It's not always the case.
This was the ex-wife stereotype back in the day.

@@20alphabet Rhonda not a beauty queen or bikini model she had her own TV show, I was trying to be nice, mary Tyler..Moore used pretty on the dick van ike show she was a dream wife
@@20alphabet why are you such a troll fuck?
Back when joan van Ark was a knockout....don't Google her now...unless you wanna scream and cry at the same time. Valerie Harper is still beautiful
This takes me right back to my childhood
RIP sweet talented Valerie, the only character on TV at that time that was relatable
The sad part of Joan van Ark started to have a facelift as she got older and her looks never got better.
So happy we in the UK got to see this fantastic show.
It's Val(erie) meets Val(ene)!
2 Val's.
My wife still has a whole mess of 70's clothes. I want her to dress as Rhoda for Halloween.
You do why????
Oh!! I need to come meet her for....coffee, yes, coffee. I wasn't going to say closet raid, really!
I love Rhoda's clothes! She rocked that head scarf like no other!!!❤
Fab idea. Take lots of pics!!
@@andreadesalvo3000to piss you off
RIP Valerie Harper
boy is this posted loudly, cool but didn't expect it thank you
That shirt that Rhoda is wearing is gorgeous!!!!
Rhoda is drop dead gorgeous!!!
"Ma, I don't need any 'meat money'!" Love this show so hard now, I want to cry when I watch it! How did we become such an ugly society and move so far from this more witty and loving time?
Answer: the Eighties happened. You know, that wonderful time when greed became “good.”
It's been the "Me" Generation. The answer is that we're living in what the Bible calls "the last days." Deep.... now in the time of the end.
@@revolutionaryviews9702 even the 80s were a huge step above what the world is now. People were still way more civil and less “ready to throw down”.
@@zimjun7 I’m afraid to ask what comes after the end. I wish it were reversible.
@@revolutionaryviews9702 Wow did you hit the nail on the head regarding changes in the 80s-- been downhill ever since.
Rhoda reminds me Bethany from Real house wife of New York, lol, the way she talks and the way she looks too
OMG, YES!!!
Valarie Harper was much prettier.
THE GOOD OLE DAYS 👉🏾 WHEN PEOPLE WERE PEOPLE 😇🙏🏾❗
Yep the good old days….vietnam, watergate, gay bashing, pollution, cocaine , porno theaters, cops shooting blacks, gas shortages , poverty….oh yeah people were people ok 🙄
@@Shamonwhitehurst252You missed her entire point. Sheeesh
Yes it was. 😊
Rest in Peace Valerie.
One thing that irks me, when Rhoda says that she has lived in New York City all her life. (What about when she was Mary's neighbor in Minneapolis?) :p
I think she meant prior to that. lol. She should have said MOST of her life.
I grew up during these MTM sit-com spinoffs. I like to look at the air dates and figure out what I was doing at the time as a fun pastime.
I had just started 7th grade when this aired. I was probably doing homework when it showed, pre-algebra.
Remember in “Romy & Michelles High School Reunion” when they got into a fight over who was like Rhoda & who was like Mary- implying that Mary was the prettier one.....I always thot Rhoda was so much prettier. She looks beautiful in these episodes. ....Mary was great but Rhoda was also funnier.
Exactly. I love Mary, but Rhoda is my favorite and I can never get over how pretty Valerie Harper is.
Best comedy shows are from the 70's !!!!
Best shows period.
The woman that played her mom was HILLARIOUS!
The foreshadowing was clear from the inception: Joe was divorced and had no desire to remarry; Rhoda was lovely but insecure and transparently needy. It could never work.
No wonder Joe did not want to marry again, after that horrid woman..
Rhoda looks especially pretty in this episode of course
They could've been nicer to each other. Still, they were way more cordial than people these days would be to each other!
Emily Edwards The writers had to adhere to strict moral codes concerning certain issues and dialogue because this show was aired during family hour during the mid 1970s in America.
Just another reason I would never get involved with a divorced man.
Both women were beautiful when this show was taped. Each in their own way. Unfortunately, one chose plastic surgery instead of growing old gracefully. I’m sure she has regretted that decision ever since.
If only we could accept ourselves as we are, the world would be a more beautiful place.
Gracefully….such a dick way to be judgmental
Joan Van Ark when she still had her original face
Joe and Rhoda should have never gotten divorced!
Nope. The producers realized that the marriage stifled the story telling. It was never meant to be a show about a nuclear family.
@@gheller2261that makes no sense
There was plenty of story
Mary was on the show never got married. This is where Roto should’ve differentiated from the marital immoral so you have three series, Phyllis, Rhoda and Mary single ?
Nah getting rid of Joe was a bad mistake and it showed in the ratings later on
Rhoda and Joe shouldn't have gotten married.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Joe was a jerk. depressing!
@@Susan-d2yJoe wasn't a good match for Rhoda.
Always loved Rhoda. Fun to watch again🙆🍸
valerie is so precious!!
Don't know why Rhoda is insecure after meeting the ex-wife. She's WAY better looking than Marian. Funny, I know Valerie Harper's name, but I can't think of the name of the actress playing Marion. Joan Van Ark. Just watched the credits.
That happens a lot in shows where the main girl character is insanely pretty but she's jealous of another girl. Yeah, I don't get it.
I don't think she knows she's pretty, or maybe she does. I'm missing something, no for real. Maybe she's not jealous...
Marian isn't special looking at all. #notbothered
There’s a fundamental disconnect between the insecurities of a character like Rhoda, and the fact that she was played by a really good looking woman, Valerie Harper. You just have to go with it and pretend that Rhoda/Valerie isn’t beautiful.
Many beautiful women have insecurities. Many have hang ups about their looks just like regular people. All people have their problems. The emphasis on looks in society is way too important for all of us.
I watched her show from start to end, loved it, she will be missed.
A three letter word for a table scarp is "ort!" Hope that helps, Carlton!
The world needs more Rhoda, Ida and Brenda! And Carlton!
