RHODA S03E16 A Night In the Emergency Room

[@annasantostefano6826]

I love when Brenda is trying to wave more light into the room from the refrigerator 😂😂😂 Her personality is so adorable

[@Forestventures]

Rest in Peace you were just awesome

[@meirwise1107]

30 years on and second time around this is still funny.

Not

[@asa1973100]

Yet 39 years later YOU are here watching it …. NOT PMSL 🔔🔚

[@nathelondon3719]

So what you watching it for?

[@MarkSLanglois]

I appreciate sitcoms that incorporate lousy weather.

[@maidenmarian1]

I love when it rains, snows, hails, anything inclement.

[@truthiseverything9511]

There's no situation in any world in which an adult needs to explain to another adult what they're doing is wrong. Narcissists KNOW what they've done and have NO empathy. They Project, Blame-shift and Gaslight normal, empathetic people into taking on their toxicity, and when the victim finally has a reaction, the narc then points them out to others as being "crazy", etc. Rhoda fell for the Covert/Vulnerable Narc act when Nick behaved as if HE were the victim and thus became his Enabler and sacrificed her own sister to him. Glad Brenda appropriately addressed Nicks' triangulation strategy. When a narc show you what they are, BELIEVE them the first time and walk away. Oh, and the groceries? Or "apologies"?This is called Breadcrumbing.

[@bronwynshelley966]

yep, my thoughts,too

[@mandymac74]

How did they not crack up during this episode? Nick bouncing Rhoda on his lap is pure comedy gold. I LOVE Rhoda!!!!!!

[@katg7965]

I just love this show. For me it got funnier as it went on.

[@hollyavillella554]

Richard Masur (Nick) portrayed a humble hero is The Walton's. He's a gifted actor - drama and comedy. They are all great. It's refreshing to see Rhoda again -such a talented and lovely lady. RIP

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Masur was in an All in the Family episode during its fourth season where he played a mentally challenged adult. Good actor.

[@marciaprendergast8953]

Eduardo Corrochio l think he was also the president of The Screen Actors Guild at one time.

[@kprieto2655]

Rhoda's beautiful dark hair is back! She's looking beautiful again:) She also seems to be more comfortable as a single woman with each episode, and her mood is lightening up

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Yet she is completely unable to save her marriage.

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

I like it better without Joe, anyway.

[@citytrees1752]

The show producers must have realized her character is more interesting as a single woman.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Trivia factoid: the ER receptionist is Chip Fields, mother of Kim Fields from Facts of Life. :)

[@emilyedwards9809]

''Everybody in here's a freak.'' LOL And the way Rhoda screamed and hit the doctor. Cracked me up.

i ran by this by accident, and i must say this show is good. I can't wait to see more:)

Only $20 to see a doctor at an emergency room? Only in the 1970's!

$84.89 in 2019... still fairly cheap compared to an actual amount in New York City

I LOVE Nick in this one! And l love when he calls Brenda Little Fox. Ah ha! And later he ALSO calls her "little one". We're both right!

[@fishybowser7544]

"You been talking to my mother?" so funny

[@Dr.JudeAEMasonMD]

Fun fact, the nurse is named Chip Fields. She’s Kim Field’s mother (and manager). Kenfield played Tootie in the Facts of Life.

Why does Brenda put up with this buffoon? "I have nothing against your guts(8:53)." "No thanks, I've already got 'Lump-tee-dump' (13:29)." Great responses!

[@CaptainGrimsdale]

Nick is a deadbeat. Gary is a better man. I can't understand why Brenda likes such a jerk.

[@mandymac74]

Because “ Nick” was comedy gold!!!!!!! And this is an excellent actor. Richard Masur is so good at tackling characters and I believe he was playing Nick Lobo and was a straight laced boyfriend of the mother on One Day at a Time at the same time!!!!!!! Plus he has been in many, many movies.

[@meirwise1107]

There's no accounting for taste. Brenda could have Gary and she still goes with Nick!

[@MultiLisa10]

Gary was her COUSIN!😫

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@MultiLisa10 He was not. Who told you Gary Levy was Brenda's cousin? He was established as Rhoda's neighbor in her apartment building-- no family connection there.

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

@@eduardo_corrochio they're thinking of Lenny, and third cousin, meh, all our ancestors bonked their third cousins for ten thousand generations, until historically recently most people never left more than twelve miles from their home. Also, I had a thing for Nick as a young girl, but now I feel the Gary love, lol.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@voluntaryismistheanswer Nick Lobo, wow, he always reminded me of Fonzie's annoying taller brother, lol. I thought Gary was cute in that 1970's way but they kept changing his look ... nerdy, sexy, normal, sexy. Joe was a hunk.

It's amazing the transformation Brenda has made since the very first episode!! She didn't look so great then. She looks beautiful now. Amazing what a difference hairstyle and a little makeup makes. Plus they plucked her eyebrows. That made a huge difference too.

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

I think she is really pretty.

All it takes is a little makeup, a great hairstyle and nice clothes. Plucked eyebrows too!😁😁😁🤣😂

ROFL The way Brenda said ''Nick, what are you doing here?!" Hilarious!!

[@jmcmurrah]

Nick is so obnoxious… and so funny… brilliant portrayal, but then they’re all brilliant.

[@themaggattack]

Oh no, not that corney scrub Nick again. 🤦‍♀️ I must admit Nick is funny as hell, but Brenda should be getting with GARY!!! Gary not only gave her 2% of the profits for helping him on his sale, but he also gave her "lust". 😆 Gary is the happy medium between sweet old boring, rich Marty and the "sexy, rablin' music man", Nick Lobo. 🙄😆 (And who is this male nurse in this episode? He's hilarious too!)

Why did they make Nick sound like Fonzie on Happy Days . Brenda deserves better.

[@arttrombley7385]

That's what's wrong with Our medical system, the nurse should have sent Rhoda directly to X-ray before seeing the Doctor.

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

I thought Brenda fell in love with Gary last week. What happened there?

[@oywiththepoodlesalready]

“Brenda lusted for Gary” would probably be a better phrase. They said they didn’t want to ruin their friendship by having Gary spend the night, so nothing really happened between them. Falling in love and lust are two very different things.

[@sanfrancisco89]

Why does Brenda have two beds and no sofa?

i'd always wondered that very same thing. LOL

[@pathough2100]

All the guys they hired for this show together do not add up to one Joe.

And all of the women in the show don't add up to my second or third wife. In fact, some of them bring the total way down.

'' Faithful squeeze box''

[@michellepost5232]

During the 1970s, my family doctor charged only around $2.75 for an office visit. That Nick Lobo guy sure played on alot of sitcoms back then. He usually played a jerk type.

[@maidenmarian1]

Yes Nick is not likable to me. Not necessarily a jerk, but subject to get worse. But when Joe over reacts, its really hard to take. There is something about the realness and vulnerability of Rhoda that make the viewer become very invested in some unusual way. No wonder Rhoda and Joe got so many letters from people who wanted them together, etcetera...

[@EphemeralProductions]

funny thing is from what I've gathered Richard Masur is NOTHING like that in real life. LOL

[@pamhoward5102]

I remember when you could go the dentist. Get my teeth cleaned it only cost me $14.00. It was in 1974. It didn't Cody that much in those days.

No Health Insurance. 😟

[@whopiddledonyourposttoasti175]

But medical bills were much more affordable and the hospitals had payment plans. When insurance got involved the prices skyrocketed, had to rip off and fill the greed. Insurance MRI over $5000.00, your copay in full but tell them your paying cash and get the test for $500.00 with a payment plan. It's a money making scheme which got a thousand times worse when Obamacare came out. Was a time when every employer offered affordable healthcare even for part time but along came Obamacare.

[@johnny-becker]

$500 ($2,122.18 in today's money) is a helluva lot of money to loan someone. I am not sure I would have risked it. The $50 Brenda was going to keep comes out to $212.22 today. What is with the braids in Nick's hair at 5:46 and a even more visible spot a few seconds later at 5:53. Is that a 70s style thing? Broken toe's heal themselves. The ER will do nothing but possibly give advice and maybe pain medication. I've broken the same toe three times... once going downstairs in my socks and forward went the toes.
