I swear the best episodes of RHODA are with her Bren, Martin & Ida..Joe 2! Wish Rhoda & Joe got back together and had a baby(boy&girl twins) on the show lol Rip Beautiful Valerie..Nancy..David..Harold. :'(
Oh, it makes me feel so nostalgic. The entire family sitting down eating breakfast reminds me of how it was in my house. My dad has since passed on and my mom is in her early 80's but we were all so young back then. Sigh...
Ah, sweet memories of life, at last we find thee. It's sad, but inevitable. I miss the beauty of youth but our souls will seek out truth in the hereafter. Recently I found out that I have cancer. Whatever happens, I will find the answers I have sought for so many years. It began when I was a child. I will be at peace, but "I" will be in charge. Not a fantasy conjured up by man centuries ago, and the medical establishment can shove it up the wazoo!!!
❤Love this episode! I have seen it before but just noticed the Nancy Drew books on Rhoda's shelf. As a girl growing up, I had a whole collection of them. And... I just noticed Ida's robe; either my mother or my maternal grandmother had one just like it. Love these memories! 😊
This series was great. The writing. The scenery. The clothes. The acting was superb. Everybody was perfect for their roles. Actually they made the roles lifting the script of the page and making it live. RIP most of them.
Shot continuity error at 2:22: all of sudden the apartment front door is shown as being chain-locked from the inside. But then Rhoda just opens the door to let Brenda in, without undoing the chain lock.
Hey look Rhoda and Brenda dad is ...Miles..... Rose 's man from the golden girls..I've always liked this actor ...as well as every ones fav...(rosie)...Nancy Walker
I think that Joe didn’t really want to leave on his trip with his dad. Joe stated that he really wanted to stay with her. He got worried when he couldn’t reach her and decided to come back.
Me too.! I grew up with horrible narcassist mean parents.i watch these shows to see how a nice family who love each other can be.i didnt have anything like this.
This is one of my fave eps from the show. I watched it new, and when you see it for the first time it has a good mystery to it.And even though it has mystery, it is really funny, too. When new, it should have been shown nearing halloween. People back then thought it was hilarious on sitcoms when people said "Goodnight. JohnBoy". The Waltons were still new then. I never tire of seeing this ep. I always thought Rhoda acted like a prude, and emotionally cold. Even as a newlywed, she never acted romantic or sexy toward Joe. She rarely kissed him. Joe and Rhoda have a nice apt., kinda fancy, and really large. Imagine the monthly rent on that, being it's in NYC. Rhoda and Brenda's old bedroom at their parents' apt. is as it was in the 1950s, in this ep, but when Rhoda briefly stayed there before she married Joe, the bedroom looked totally different. Weird. Imagine being a child or teen and having Ida and Martin for grandparents! All that food, and yummy sweets! They'd be a hoot to visit. This video is like HD, really good quality.
Awesome I’m about to watch it now! I was a tiny girl when this show was on lol I remember it on but now I’m getting to watch it pretty much for the first time and actually comprehend it lol
I don't know what you mean Rhoda being a prude and not romantic. I have seen them kiss many times, talking about having romantic nights and how she is able to soften Joe with not only her jokes but innuendos. You must remember that the 70's were different than now. even the innuendos were groundbreaking during that time. I actually appreciate it for the clean show and comedy. I hated when it ended.
To Roxy; Yes I'm 99% sure it was her. You must be a Golden Girls fan also. I watched when it originally aired. We taped it on a VCR. Old school. Take care.🤗🤗🤗
I can so identify with Ida.... Both my 22 year old son & 15 year old daughter both think I mother too much & way to over protective. My 22 year old does not live with me but that don't stop me from butting in. nothing brings out that mama bear in me like when someone messes with one of cubs then its on.. Only difference between Ida & me is she gets paid LOL
If this time capsule room was still there then what bedroom did Rhoda stay in at the beginning of the show and why not stay in the time capsule room? And Brenda has changed jobs at least once in the past 3 years therefore they wouldn't know whether she has been late in the past 3 years. It's little errors like this that drive me crazy. I wish shows had a better memory.
Sitcoms and continuity don’t really belong in the same sentence. The number of inconsistencies in Friends are legendary. It probably started back in the 50’s with I Love Lucy when the address they always said they lived at would put them approximately in the middle of the Hudson River. But it bothers me too.....at 2:24 or so when Brenda knocks on the door, there is an inexplicable lengthy shot on the apartment door with the chain very obviously in place. Cut to Rhoda reaching the door and opening it without the slightest indication of her taking the chain off. It’s weird because they showed the door so clearly with the chain on.
New York city in the 1970s must have a real tough place to live and work. I grew up in Sydney, Australia and it started to be like that in the late 1980s. Thankfully, I have moved out from the rat race to another state where the crime rate is low and the sunshine is free.
It was not as risky as they are portraying it. The area that they are living in is a really rich neighborhood. Really rich people with really expensive apartments and they have doorman that don't let them up. This is a fictionalized account of the area. In real life a door man would not be acting like Carlton and letting people into your apartment without your approval and they would be looking out for you because they want you to tip them big for Christmas and they want to help you with your bags for tips too. There is really no crimes in that area either because there is no drugs being sold. I can't say the same for my neighborhood but her area is the safest in NYC.
@@givememore4free they lived upper West Side and like most of Manhattan - it was safe-ish and incredibly fun and exciting and cool - this episode came out around the time of Son of Sam
@@jeffreycameron l'll bet. I was in the Midwest (Michigan) soon to move to California (L.A. area), but Rhoda have me a glimpse of what NYC life might be like. (I've since visited and there's no place quite like it.) BTW: RIP to the beautiful Valerie Harper 8/30/2019. A wonderful, inspiring lady who put up a valiant fight. So many of the MTM cast are gone now. But thanks to these shows, they will never be forgotten. I miss these times so much
I remember Joe being scared of the fact that Brenda would be at their apt. all the time if they took this very apt. and he was sooooo right!!! Rhoda never thought about anyone but herself!!
If brother didn't care about anybody but herself why did she submit to having people/ family drop in on her at any time? Because she did not want to hurt their feelings?
My older sister is 13 years older. There was another girl between us, but she was stillborn. There would have been about seven years between those two, & about six years between the middle sister & myself. 👩🦰👶👱♀️
I also wondered about that. A massive continuity error. There was also an episode of Mary Tyler Moore where Rhoda mentions having a brother. Haven't seen him yet.
I love seeing mistakes when they make these television shows when Rhoda went to answer the door it was locked with the chain and the push lock and suddenly when she got to the door she could open it right up the chain was gone and so was the lock
The theme music sucks. I guess they didn't have a large enough budget to hire someone to write lyrics. So, instead, they had the children of the cast and crew hum.
@@TanjiTuesday LOL. My feelings exactly. So many people comment on these Rhoda shows about how godawful the theme tune is-- instead of simply jumping ahead one minute in the video, or muting the music. Whine, whine, whine.
Jeez, I couldn't believe all that food at the breakfast table. I would have felt like barfing, just looking at all of it in the early morning. I never was a breakfast eater. For years, I had a print of that American Gothic painting like Rhoda has in the front room. That boozer doorman used to get on my nerves sometimes, when this show was new, and I was just in my teens then. He was such a moron. I'd think Brenda would know what 3-D glasses were. I knew what they were when I was a child. They used to be advertised in 1970 comic books.This episode is one of my faves. I have seen it several times. Not only funny, but has mystery. Everyone was so funny in this ep. Joe kinda reminds me of Dr. Curt Willard of The Waltons. Rhoda acts frigid at times...Joe said he hated to go, after they kissed, and Rhoda told handsome Joe they couldn't do it for a whole week! Rhoda chased him so much when single, then acts cold in most eps after they marry. Their marriage only lasted about 2 years. Brenda was so funny in this ep.
Sure Rhoda would bring all the drama to a problem like this. I think most people would cancel the credit cards and take a loss on the money and she just got married so she has to get a new driver's license anyway for the name change and she also said that it was expired. Since this is the 70s it is not like the person can go on the internet and buy a bunch of things with the cards and most supermarkets at the time only took cash and checks and it was late at night so she really does not have to worry about charges. Also, with a credit purchase you need ID and the person who is running the card through the machine can obviously tell that they are not Rhoda. She blew everything out of proportion AGAIN!!!
Doesn't make sense that Joe would come home from Florida...he knew to come to Martin/Ida's place...he could have just called Rhoda there to find out how she was/find out what was going on.
I remember my mother saying they should not have married her so early on in the series.It is a death knell often. Like in I Dream Of Jeanne, She did not like David Groh either. Said he was all wrong for Rhoda..
For one, Rhoda was a window dresser (in addition to making costumes) . Window dressing was then ( and today) a very competitive and lucrative profession ( especially in NYC). I used to live in NYC. Not all, but most apartment buildings in NYC have a doorman especially in the seventies. Crime in the seventies and eighties was extremely high. For example, in the mid eighties , NYC topped out as #1 in the top three most dangerous cities in America. For the last 15 years, NYC is not even in the top 10 most dangerous cities in the US.
Carlton was a funny character but they never should have had him go THIS far. This episode was tooooo much. His B.S. is not cute anymore. I love Ruth Gordon too, but Realistically, Rhoda NEVER should have let Carlton's nutty mother push her into getting Carlton hired back after he let burglars into her apartment!!! And then he was such a jerk to her on top of it!! Wow, they REALLY rang a problematic character for all it was worth on Rhoda and the Mary Tyler Moore Show, didn't they? I'm currently binge watching both shows and I'm honestly completely sick of hearing Carlton's voice or seeing Ted's face.
Valarie Harper was so pretty and
she was a very good actress too!
Loved Rhoda’s father. How could you not?
Such a feel good show ♥
This is one of my favorite episodes!
The only official document I have that says I weigh 110 pounds is in there!! LOL
I swear the best episodes of RHODA are with her Bren, Martin & Ida..Joe 2! Wish Rhoda & Joe got back together and had a baby(boy&girl twins) on the show lol Rip Beautiful Valerie..Nancy..David..Harold. :'(

Don't forget RIP Lorenzo Music.
@@vestonbruno2795Yes, Lorenzo Music was just as much a part of Rhoda as every other actior/actress.

❤Love this episode! I have seen it before but just noticed the Nancy Drew books on Rhoda's shelf. As a girl growing up, I had a whole collection of them. And... I just noticed Ida's robe; either my mother or my maternal grandmother had one just like it. Love these memories! 😊
Same!!

I've always had such a big crush on this handsome older man.
That was a good story they did on this episode! I like that Ida and Martin were in this one...
Harold Gould--so handsome!

Hahaha, was about to post the same thing! 2:10 no chain on door, 2:21, chain on door, 2:27 Rhoda opens unchained door!

I saw that, too. Lol
Things happen when the camera isn't running.
good eye!!!
Hey look Rhoda and Brenda dad is ...Miles..... Rose 's man from the golden girls..I've always liked this actor ...as well as every ones fav...(rosie)...Nancy Walker
Don't forget, Nancy Walker was Aunt Angela on "The Golden Girls," too.
Yes!! Thank you. ‘Miles’ on The Golden Girls!!
Martin was hilarious in this episode!!!
If this alleged crook had Rhoda's wallet and knows where she lives, why wouldn't she stay at Brenda's place? He doesn't know where she lives.
+MrLeglamp Probably because they didn't trust Carlton to not tell someone looking for Rhoda exactly where she was.

I imagine the idea was, because she would panic

I always loved Valerie Harper - so pretty and funny. And the apartment with the tables decoupaged to match the sofa fabric. Very 70s
I have to skip past that opening. "LALALALALALALALA" Who thought that was a good idea?
Someone kept trying to murder this show from behind the scenes lol
So Joe gets worried because his calls to Brenda and Rhoda go unanswered but not once does he call Ida🤣

Tell your children that they are lucky to have you. They should get down on their knees and thank God.

Perhaps you should seek therapy , you take this stuff too seriously

So Rhoda's driver license has her parents' address on it?
There was a card in her wallet "in case of emergency call" with the Mom's phone number
