Rhoda - S01E02 - You Can Go Home Again

[@gaynorpatterson2915]

It’s not just the star of the show that makes it great. It’s often the costars who make it awesome. Like Nancy Walker, Julie Kavner, Dave Groh

[@FomorViceroy]

Only Nancy Walker could play Ida Morgenstern. She delivers all of her lines PERFECTLY and steals every single scene she's in. Without question, TV's best mom.

[@janjones4959]

So glad I found this show, I always loved Rhoda, now I can watch it all over again. I love all of the characters and it's still funny. My sister became a window dresser because of this show.

[@faithfulforever6331]

It is so strange to be watching all these shows again after I first saw them in the 70's and to realize that most everyone in them, with the exception of Julie Kavner, has now passed away. Rhoda was still at home with her mom and now not only has Ida Morgenstern, Rhoda's mom, passed away; but even Rhoda, Valerie Harper, has also passed away. Life is so quick and is just an eye blink.

[@eleanorconnell7173]

[@AlmostReady504]

That very fact disturbs me greatly. I look at All in the Family. The episode celebrating Archie's 50th birthday. At the moment I honestly look 10 years younger than Carroll O'Connor THEN. When realistically I'm ten years older than he was now. Everyday we lose a movie, TV or music icon we grew up with. I Still wouldn't trade the era in which I was born for anything in the world not even another 20 years on this Earth.....well 😊

Rhoda looks terrific, always has, and she's very funny. I hope she can look back, watch those re-runs, be proud of what she has achieved and that she made a lot of people, who watched her, happy.

A great actress she was. Beautiful by today's standards, but in the early '70's thin was in. When Rhoda condidered herself fat, today's guy would visually see her as sexy. Smokin' hot. Regardless, Mary & she were classy ladies.

Martin Beneteau, I know you commented on this a long while ago but I just wanted to say... you are right ! Nancy walker was the best thing about Rhoda... it was all good but Nancy was the best.

When I was a kid I remember I was bummed out to learn Valerie Harper left the MTM show. Thankfully Rhoda turned out to be a very good show with a great cast. Usually when characters get their own spin-off they're weak and short-lived. "Fish" comes to mind
