That striped mumu type dress Rhoda is wearing looks awful, makes her look really fat. That Myrna is annoying. I don't know why Myrna and Justin can't work without those two for awhile. Rhoda sure gets insecure about Joe, sometimes asking if he still loves her, and that was when things were good between them.Good grief, enough already! I think Brenda and Ida go to Joe and Rhoda's apt. way too much, more so Brenda. Brenda can't seem to think for herself, no matter how petty the issue. Most married couples today both work because they have to, to afford rent and bills, so jobs are rarely the issue these days.

She's actually dressed very fashionably for the time. From 1974 to 1978, the leading women's high-fashion trend was called "the Big Look," introduced by Kenzo Takada and Yves Saint Laurent. "Big" meant voluminous and oversized, and it influenced even women on the street like the Rhoda character here. That's why you see her wearing the full dresses, the big capes, the peasant skirts, and the occasional shawl and full boots. I know you were joking saying her dress here looked like a tent, but there really was a style of dress in the seventies called a tent dress and it was very high-fashion and popular.

It looked like a mumu. I agree with Joe, Rhoda has too many people who often visit. She should have worked less and paid more attention to Joe. He was cute. If I had been a writer of the show, I wouldn't have had their marriage go bad, and they'd have stayed happily married. They weren't married that long, during the third season they seperated. I don't even know what their problem was. Joe was a good member of the cast, and contributed to the episodes. I wonder if he wanted off. Nancy Walker looked younger on this ep. I never liked Myrna. She was so irritating.
