[@constancereyes417]

That peach coloured nightgown and multi coloured robe that Rhoda wears is soooo beautiful. I just LOVE the colours of the robe. ❤

[@meirwise1107]

Funny, funny, funny and clean. No swearing. No violence. No explicit sex. Great fashion!

[@wishmaster7438]

Meir Wise The style of fashion is terrible especially the primary red. Great show too. I love it and I always like Rhoda more than the character of Mary Richards in MTMS. Rhoda makes me laugh.

[@kprieto2655]

+ Warp Wise you seem to have a particular aversion to the color RED. The fashion was fantastic and Rhoda was fabulous since the MTM show and had become even more sophisticated by the time she had her own show. In an old interview, Cloris Leachman mentioned that Mary, Valerie and Cloris wore their own wardrobes while fillming...Im going to assume that Valerie loved the color Red...to each his own. BTW, In 1976 fashion in the USA was Red, White and Blue!

Rhoda is wonderful. It means so much more to me now than when I first saw it as a child. I know it’s a show but I still can’t watch without being mad at Joe for what he later did to Rhoda.

[@nancymoule6317]

I have always loved " Rhoda" Even though the world has changed, since the pandemic. I love this show an her sister Brenda is a riot. And their Mom Ida is great and her dad Martin is so funny. These shows are so great, the actor's and actress knew that were great and knew how to make the audience laugh.

@@greeneyedmonster2169 What a great woman your Grandma is. I too, most often, wear a dress . rest of the time a skirt. Don't wear panty hose though. They are dreadfully uncomfortable and not good for the environment. Have sensible leggings in every colour, warm and cozy, to match all dresses and skirts. Shoes and leggings all must match the hem. Society did a good job of brain washing us oldsters. I'm happy and quite health and hoping this finds you and your Grandma the same. Sincerely

[@YesYou123333]

Those were the days when actors were in the business because they loved it. Today's actors are all in it for the money and fame. You can tell the difference in the quality of the acting. The actors here seem so real and natural and not like they're just reading lines.

[@janetduncan87]

Ikr! Rhoda could tie her head wrap, chew gum, and pin a maniquin, and quote lines, all at the same time... They were all very natural, in front of the camera. We knew who the actors were, and they had good credibility of their roles. Valerie Harper was very beautiful, and professional, as an actress.

[@m.e.d.7997]

Well said!

[@eijonasson]

Thought these shows were built for these actors.if not " type casting " must have made it even better. The only contemporary actress with these sterling qualities is Hyacinth in Keeping Up Appearances. (UK production)

[@themaggattack]

@@eijonasson Contemporary? I hate to break it to ya, but Keeping Up Appearances is about 30 years old now! It's closer to the times Rhoda was made than it is to now.

A GREAT CAST OF CHARACTERS & WONDERFUL ACTORS!! THANK YOU 😊 !!!

At least this show is about real-seeming working people and real problems. Before the ‘80s, when everyone was “rich.” And before the housing boom, when their apartment would cost $5,000 a month instead of $310. How life has changed.

[@3506Dodge]

Cara Williams! I loved her in "Pete and Gladys!" I remember when she and her husband, Harry Morgan were heading for camp. He was too tired to go. So she said that she could drive so he could sleep on the way. "Pete" said, "Gladys, when you drive nobody sleeps."

[@michellepost2986]

I like this starting theme the best. Tv sitcoms of the 1960s-1980s often had starting themes that told the story of the show in song format. This theme of Rhoda is funny about herself. I watched this show new, as a teen.

[@YankeeJet24]

The cashmere sweater in the beginning of the episode reminded me of George Costanza on "Seinfeld." I binged the whole series a few months ago, but I am watching this again for the holiday season! I love love LOVE "Rhoda" and Valerie Harper! Stay strong, kid!

[@codym8897]

"Guess What I Got You for the Holidays" is the 16th episode of Season 1 of Rhoda. Written by Coleman Mitchell and Geoffrey Neigher, and directed by Robert Moore. First aired on CBS on December 16, 1974. On December 23, 1974, Rhoda would not be seen, due to a Christmas special on CBS.

[@steveprice2718]

What was that all about? I think everyone can read the opening credits. Your post is meaningless.

[@maidenmarian1]

The post is not meaninglrss. The credits roll very fast and people share what they remember. I'm not sure why you had to be negative especially about a nice neutral post. No one said anything wrong.

Are you ever going to upload the rest? Please say yes!! :)

[@dannydougin3925]

Hmm, $2,000 in 1974 is about (has the same spending power as): $12,791.12 50 years later in 2024.

Very decent.

[@randilevson9547]

Rhoda had a cool beret in the first scene. Right out of Faye Dunaway in 'Bonnie and Clyde.' Also, Justin's irreverent attitude is fantastic.

[@josephadiaz8343]

LoL she tried throwing her hat up in the air like Mary Tyler Moore did on her show, but she didn't succeed in throwing it up 😂.

[@brookehanley3659]

Her face wore that beret well.

[@adamp6320]

I guess this show forgot about Rhoda's plant shop business (just like the MTM show did) when she had loads of money and bought Mary a car with it. She had money to buy expensive clothes and hire Georgette on full time too.

Rhoda was caring and very loving to Joe and tried to help him by giving him her money. She tried to make her marriage work throughout the first 2 years, but it really didn't work because she was more appealing when she was single and man hunting. By the the time they divorced her it was already too late and the show wasn't the same neither was Rhoda.

The writer's were fools to end their relationship. Everybody thinks they know what their doing. In the words of Joe all i will say is..."That's all !!"😠
