Anyone else think Rhoda is too skinny here? Her head looks skeletal. And the way her hair is back from her face makes her look like she's starting to look like Ida, somehow... She looked better when she had more curves and was less bony looking. But why are they still keeping Brenda in figure-hiding clothes, all baggy? Are we still supposed to believe she's grossly overweight? (I never believed Rhoda was 'fat' on MTM - just wearing 'fat clothes').

They invented the character surprisingly early in that show...really a work of genius on the part of Brooks/Burns (and perhaps Treva Silverman?)

The MTM show ran during my high school/early college years, and I can still recall the thrill of hearing those first three bass notes of the MTM theme at the beginning of each episode. I loved Valerie Harper as Rhoda, and I really missed her when she left for her own series. Mary was such an optimistic "Everyman" type of character, but Rhoda was a humorous shot of cynical reality that counterbalanced her perfectly. I watched this series occasionally, especially the first couple seasons, but it struggled to find its footing and just never quite found that perfect balance, imho. However, Valerie Harper, Julie Kavner, and Nancy Walker were each wonderful in their roles. I could especially relate to Kavner's character - I am such a Brenda (I also loved the work Kavner did with Tracey Ullman - which was also where she first became Marge Simpson). Was this the first episode of this series directed by Cheers' James Burrows? There was so much talent involved with this show.

I never understoood why Rhoda was a window dresser for twelve years. It really sounds like a dead-end job. I don't get the constant drawing and designing. Shouldn't she be more hands-on and quick about being creative while she's at the job site? It never came across as a realistic occupation for someone with a Manhattan apartment. Are we supposed to believe that small businesses would actually hire someone to decorate their windows? Most people who own a small business struggle financially; they would HAVE to decorate their own windows. And larger businesses would definitely find someone among their employees who could decorate windows. It was fine in Minneapolis, I suppose, when Rhoda was younger; but the writers should have changed her occupation when she moved to New York City. She could have remained an artist, but in some other capacity. Perhaps a creative consultant in an advertising firm.

It’s all terribly out of focus and Harper looks emaciated. I hate to think of the pressure on her to diet and to lose all that weight. Same with Brenda but she doesn’t look quite as unhealthy. Valerie Harper’s natural figure was fuller from the waist down with a thin face and smaller breasted. But now she looks unhealthy with sunken eyes.

What happened to this show? Rhoda was becoming a, more and more, confrontational, shrewish, complaining and whiny character. It's hard at times to watch the anger and aggressiveness that she displayed. I still enjoy some of the reruns, but I am getting very irritated, and tired of watching it at times. Why did the writers of this show decide to take this road? Rhoda used to be a much more likable character, in the beginning of this series and also on the MTM show. The way she attacked Jack, in this episode, and called him rude, and stupid, is ridiculous. She's the rude and stupid one. Totally over the top, especially since she's the one asking him for a favor and a job.I would have thrown her out on her ear. It's unrealistic as well. No normal person would act this way.
