I never was crazy about Jack Doyle. I thought he was rude to his customers and to Rhoda. I never thought it was fun for Rhoda make costumes. I like her window dresser business.
I thought that restaurant was real cute!! I liked the message here. Looks are NOT what's important. And Jack's response ''In this world, looks are all that's important.'' So true, and this was a while ago!! Good looks are fantastic, but if the person below that beauty is shallow then it's not worth it. Good looks should just be a bonus, not your objective, in finding a mate.
Me too, people can be so snobby and uptight. I can enjoy any kind of situation from a coffee shop to a 5 star gourmet restaurant, a well written drama to a slapstick comedy. It's all about being open and appreciative of everything.A lot of people out there are unfortunately too ego oriented to be any fun.
I love that restaurant! (Am I a child or what?!) I think it's a fun concept. When I lived in Denver, I enjoyed going to this one mall where the shuttle was cute train with rubber wheels. I remember this one set of twins (blond blue-eyed four year old boys) who had on outfits even though it wasn't Halloween and were just tickled to be on the shuttle. One was a conductor and the other a fireman. Anyhoo! Unlike Arlene, I would've enjoyed that restaurant. Not boring at all! Plus, I would've been interested in chatting with Benny about he and Brenda considering that place as a venue to celebrate their wedding reception.
Yeah I noticed Rhoda's hair was great in Seasons 1 and 2 and then she got really bad hairstyles. I know it was the 70s, but those hairdos did not suite her.
@@malcolmmarshall5946 - hard to say, ya know? Could've, would've, should've.... It's so long ago now, and a different industry standard compared from today. Today, they probably would try to build the slow burn of their relationship in the first season to drag out audience's anticipation; will they, won't they thing. Back then I think it was more of a "make it a hit" right from the get go to make the cash up front and worry about how to keep the audience coming back for more, later. Never mind the quality of the writing as long as ratings are still high enough. They had a good core cast, but it felt like they were being wasted on the drivel in the scripts, IMHO.
@@cmtippens9209 You s sound like you know your stuff. I always thought the writers f****Ed up by making Joe a male bimbo. Julie Kavner really jumps out at me nowadays as an excellent comedian.
I cannot believe they are giving the ridiculous character Tina air time. What the fk were they thinking? And to lose Gary for this season, ugh! It was bound to fail after Joe left anyway, im watching this season just to say I finished it off. The only scenes worth watching have Ida in them, she's their saving grace I tell ya.
Why do the writers always find a way to insult Rhoda? I have never been able to stand Jack or Benny and how they treat her. Rhoda is much more gorgeous than that redhead, though the producers have done their best to uglify her this season, and she deserves to have a worshipful boyfriend as much or more than Brenda. It’s as if the writers were jealous and wanted to put her down at every opportunity ... including having her ordered around by the cleaning lady. Three seasons ago she was an icon of style, independence and glamour. Now she’s working for an abusive bastard in a costume shop and somehow become the den mother to a bunch of bad character actors. I hate what they did to her and to this show ... a harbinger of all the bad TV and culture ever since.
This season was NOT on DVD like the other seasons. It seems to be recorded off of TV and uploaded to Usenet and then downloaded by various people. The blurry and breaking is caused by the upload breaking and Usenet is using par files to recreate was "it thought" was there..
Um, Rhoda worked with Jack everyday and hadn't paid attention to Jack's weight loss even though she admits she knew he was on a diet? Where has everyone else been that they are also just noticing his weight loss...they could have handled this better. Shabby writing
The writing on this show is SO uneven. Part of it was on MTM, Rhoda was abrasive, obnoxious, rude and even mean (She was mean even to Mary on a few episodes.) This is WHY she was so funny. She didn't take crap and though she was insecure, she could handle herself in any situation. On her own show it was hard to watch Rhoda become more and more neurotic each season.
Wherever did they find that Tina character ????? So bloody annoying and irritating !!!! The whole show has gone down the drain after seasons 1 and 2. The 3rd one was especially bad.
I think with this Jack character they were really polishing a turd. He really was an uncouth slob with no redeeming qualities. If they were trying to build a Lou Grant they really screwed up.
I have always enjoyed Rhoda from her 1st episode of The Mary Tyler Moore show. I laugh out loud at every episode of Rhoda; something I don't do at most of the shows currently on TV. Great cast; Brenda, Nancy Walker, etc. I did like Rhoda's hair straight though! Thanks for all of the great entertainment!!! RIP Valerie Harper....
Rhoda suffered with those irregular supporting characters: Tina, Myrna, Sally, Ramon, Johnny Venture etc. They lasted a dozen of episodes and never appeared again. This weakened the show so much...

"Directed by Nancy Walker" That lady did everything!
Just found out she was a nepo baby. 😂

if a person has confidence - real confidence - they don't need beauty - they ARE beautiful

Kenneth McMillan ("Jack") died very young - age 55 from liver disease. McMillan was a wonderful character actor.
He was only about 46 here. I would've thought he was at least 56! He didn't age well at all! Maybe because of the liver disease.
he liked his booze.
He was only 46 here?! Yikes!
From what I understand Jean Stapleton was 46 yo first season of All in the Family.
@@phatz7531 People looked older at younger ages years ago. I think it had to do with clothing and hair styles.
Seems much older then 55 😫
I appreciate seeing Mari Gorman (the Cleaning Lady), great attress, I see her often on Barney Miller :)
Brenda is my favorite character on this show 💜 And I'm glad Tina came back 💛
Tina was funny for a minute... but she got old and annoying REALLY fast.
How did they take one of the best 70’s style characters on tv and turn her into this frumpy old lady looking Rhoda ? Shame on the wardrobe department.
I want to know the diet that they used for all of the actors on Rhoda...😊
The "1 finger down the throat after ea meal".

I thought I was the only one who would LOVE a restaurant like that.
Poor Jack! He looks much better, unfortunately, he just does not have any class😢
God almighty I can't believe they wrote that loser in for Brenda. His character is so lame, he offers nothing to the story
I don’t blame jack date for leaving
Rhoda's hair looks like a 1940s perm. Jack's new style is weird, but his hair dye is okay.
Yeah I noticed Rhoda's hair was great in Seasons 1 and 2 and then she got really bad hairstyles. I know it was the 70s, but those hairdos did not suite her.
At the restaurant, Rhoda's wearing the same outfit Brenda wore in the previous episode when Martin returned to Ida.
They're sisters. I expect they lend each other
Yeah, I've seen a few articles of clothing recycled between the girls over a few seasons.
@@cmtippens9209 did you think the show tanked when Rhoda & Joe divorced?

Needed more Johnny Venture!
Where did Gary go?
Grainne Gowen moved his store to Chicago
@@shelley5008 Thank you! I missed that some how 🤪
Thank you.
In the scene where Jack has been 'laminated', as Rhoda says, Jack looks a lot like Flavio Briatore the Italian businessman. :-)
Didn’t they do something like this story before...only sideways?🤔

I noticed that too. In season 4 Valerie looks anorexic and Ida is still insulting her weight.
Like the housekeeper gal.
Don't like Rhoda's wardrobe this season and her hair....horrible... no style in
nr. 5 like in the other seasons ... :(
Why does it go blurry in some scenes? Has this been edited or paused for ads when it was recorded? This is very annoying.
They are edited for time so they can add more commercials, antenna TV does this a lot
@@pattravers2611 ahh yes! We forgot. Antennas.
This season was NOT on DVD like the other seasons. It seems to be recorded off of TV and uploaded to Usenet and then downloaded by various people. The blurry and breaking is caused by the upload breaking and Usenet is using par files to recreate was "it thought" was there..
All the episodes in season 5 have glitches.
Erik, There Wasn’t anyone like Rhoda 😄
Jack Doyle who own the costume company. Always call Rhoda Morganstein. Insteadof Rhoda.
It was all ludes and cocaine
"I think I'll hold out for something better". Too funny.
Tina was hands down the worst character in any show ever.
Theresa F Agreed. She’s was horrible.
Rhoda’s mah is supposed to be 52
What was that girl's insane accent supposed to be who worked with Rhoda in the costume shop? That's not a real accent from the U.S.
Am I the only one who didn’t like like like lol the girl that kept saying like lol
No. I didn't like Tina either.
Jack turned into a cocaine freak
Um, Rhoda worked with Jack everyday and hadn't paid attention to Jack's weight loss even though she admits she knew he was on a diet? Where has everyone else been that they are also just noticing his weight loss...they could have handled this better. Shabby writing
Having watched every ep of Rhoda, I can say there's about 4 seasons of shabby writing.
How wrong you both are.
Yes, you are both wrong or I’m a simple person! I’ve watched every episode and enjoyed them all!

Gotta love Tina!!!!
Too bad Ron Silver didn't stay on as Gary Levy
This show was so focused on weight and diets and being thin. Ugh!

faithful one I can’t stand you and your lame comments.
@@vernebr Compared to the supporting actors on Mary Tyler Moore... they were horrid.
I disagree. Tina was an interesting character like the ones on Welcome Back Kotter
I hated the theme song in the last two years.
Worst music ever 😫
Benny should not have let Brenda walk all over him and tell him what to do. He should tell her what to do.
Brenda shouldn't even be with Benny... He's so unmanly...he's insecure and boring 😂 Still hoping she'll meet some really cool guy..
@@333-u9o I never really liked the character of Benny but I feel it is exactly the kind of man Brenda would have wound up with.
