Rhoda - S01E07 - The Shower 

I remember watching this with my parents and siblings when I was a kid, how can that be fifty years ago?! I sure do miss those days!

The chemistry between Valerie Harper and Julie Kavner is very special . It’s hard to believe they’re not sisters.

This reminds me of where and when I felt the safest. In my parents’ home. I was 13 in 1974. This brings back such memories. I miss miss this time. RIP Valerie Harper!

What a great big sister Rhoda was sticking up for Brenda like that... to her own high school bully, no less!

I'm 72, never been married... between this episode and yes to the dress, easier to stay single.... lol

The man with the big HAH HAH HAH HAH laugh must be one of the producers! He seems to be at every Rhoda show so far this season.

Barbara Sharma ( Myrna) was utterly hilarious in all her scenes !

This is hysterical. Perfect comic timing. Great dialogue. Classic!

Thank you for posting. I wish I could go back. These times are not so great.

I remember those cameras with the flashcubes.

Our fab Rhoda went home today 👼🏽 what a great star 💋❤️ thanks kid

Linda Lavin did a fantastic job here! There aren’t too many roles where she gets to play herself.

love the 70s fashion. Linda Lavin's dress is spectacular

Just once I'd like to see an episode where there wasn't a fat joke. These women are beautiful with natural real women's bodies.

Carlton the Doorman. He rocked!

Linda Lavin steals the show here -- this is definitely one of the best episodes of the series! I wish they had kept Rhoda single a little longer that first season. Vulnerable Rhoda is much funnier than married Rhoda.

This pink suit looks great on Rhoda .

This episode was written by Gail Parent who wrote one of my favorite novels that I read in high school: Sheila Levine is Dead and Living in New York. She went on to become a major force in television as a producer, with credits like The Golden Girls. :). And Barbara Sharma is in this too. She was hilarious on Mary Tyler Moore in one episode as a useless waitress and terrible employee Mary hires. Great bunch of talented people.

One of the very best episodes of rhoda. So many great lines and moments.

It was starting this episode that I had a special fondness for Brenda.She was not only funny,but charming in her own way.I always liked whenever she was prominently featured,and have seen Julie Kavner afterwards in many other shows.

The old lady is one of Bob Newhart's patients on his old 1970's show around the same time period.

Best episode so far! I laughed so hard from beginning to end. And I especially loved the Linda Lavin guest star moment!

Loved watching Rhoda as a kid with my dad. Brenda/Julie Kavner went on to be the voice of Marge Simpson and her sisters.

In 1971, I graduated from JHS. There was a girl who was a big bully. Especially when she had her two friends with her. We went the the same High school. I was leaving the pizza place. She was coming in. We stood together by the door entrance. She waited for me to let her in. I just looked her, stood my ground. She backed away. Never did she bother me again. That was the only best time for me in HS ; the years in HS SUCKED.

Women at their 15 year high school reunion back then looked upper middle aged, today they look like they're still in high school....

great show...always loved Rhoda and Valerie....wonderful commedien

This one has such a great script! Rhoda was always best when Joe was hardly on at all or not on at all. He was such a huge mistake imo. Susie and Myrna were hilarious. Linda Lavin steals the episode though - just so funny!

Linda Lavin was great in a couple of Barny Miller episodes. Say hi to Mar Rhoda......

Linda Lavin kills it! She's better here than on Alice.

Linda Lavin is wonderful in this episode.

I miss you Rhoda...Rest in Love

I’m with the man laughing in the background. Hilarious!!!😂😂😂

The writing was really good.

Perhaps it is partly due to the hat, but Linda looks years older than all her former classmates. Lookswise not exactly the classic prom queen type. Good for Rhoda she finally stood up to her.

I'm so glad she told that woman off and kicked her out. I was about to be real upset if she didn't. No way you're coming in my house disrespecting me and my family. #lies

Some of these episodes must have been filmed back to back in front of a live audience because I can recognize that man’s laugh in numerous episodes.

At this time, 1974 or 75, I worked for Linda Lavins aunt. They looked so similar. Both beautiful women.

I ❤ this show

Most of the Friends appeared on The MTM show in various parts! Fun those days!!!

There's always that loud "HA HA HA HA" guy in the audience.

Myrna Morgenstein was always a hoot!

Rhoda and Alice I love them both!!!

Saw this episode filmed in Studio City in 1974 with Gail N. Miss you Gail😫😫

"The Shower" might be the 7th episode of Rhoda's first season. It was written by Gail Parent, and directed by Robert Moore. This episode first aired on CBS on October 21, 1974. Barbara Sharma makes her Rhoda debut in this episode, as Rhoda's high school classmate Myrna Morgenstein. Future "Alice" (1976-1985) star Linda Lavin guest stars in this episode, as Linda.🙂

Rhonda ( Valerie Harper ) really look great after she lost the weight. I think she jump into her marriage. I never thought Joe was ready to get married. I always thought the doorman Carlton was hilarious. You never saw his face. He always had the funniest lines.

I love Brenda. I need all the help I can get. amazing line. the way she says it, great actor.

Wonderful episode.

I was 16 in'74. I loved Rhoda..

Brilliant casting of the great Linda Lavin. Interesting that a great Broadway actress like her would do a cameo on a show like this!!

When's the happy day? 9 months ago.

I used to watch Rhoda when I was a little kid, so when I first heard Lorenzo Music do the voice of Garfield the cat, all I could think of was Carlton the doorman from this show. Now though, when I see this show and hear Music doing the voice of Carlton, all I can think of is Garfield the cat.

A couple of Mary Tyler Moore guest stars here. The older woman and the red head. Feeb.

Lisa Dawnn...Before the third season of "Rhoda" was produced, the producers thought the character of Rhoda was more likable as a single woman rather than a married. In real-life, Valerie Harper and David Groh received sympathy cards after their characters "separated." David Groh claimed angry viewers sent him hate mail for more than one year after the season ended.

I JUST realized that THAT is Linda Lavin! - From Maine. She went to Deering High School.I went to Greely High in Maine. 18:26

I wonder if they intended some of these characters to recur or if they made such a splash here it was a natural. Susan came back 5 more times and Myrna 8 times. Linda, never again (Linda Lavin's "Alice" didn't start until two years later).

Very funny episode! Valerie Harper is fantastic RIP. Julie Kavner is super. They both complement each other in every episode. 2 sisters who really care about each other and stick up for each other. I never really liked Linda Lavin!

Glad Rhoda stood up to that lady!!

What did you do after graduation? I went right home.

Brenda is so funny

Pregnant woman drinking wine. The 70's were so very different.

Who's the guy with the loud laugh in the audience? Jerry Lewis? Geez...actually sounds like that laugh Desi Arnez used to use on I Love Lucy.

The old lady had the best line towards the end!!😅🎉

There's that one guy who laughs loud.

LOVE Rhoda and Brenda: "Chocolate!" LOL!!!

Amazing- Linda Lavin from Alice. love Rhoda..

I loved the music in these first season episodes. Wish they had kept it. The second season music was just cacophonous.

Mary should had been there

Always have loved it when Rhoda told Linda off. lol

I remember we had snobs in our school too and they never liked me ....like Rhoda.....but who needs them...right?

Linda Lavin is better in this one ep than in ALL of Alice

like 33 is that old. it wouldnt be an issue nowadays. also People can look younger now at 33.They look like their college age

Alice, Fonzie, Dr. Johnny Fever....what great costars they had on that show.

Rhoda is gorgeous during this season

'You know what? She took my 'lavender sachet'"?

L (Lorenzo) Music as Carlton your doorman was a riot😅

I Loves these great actress

Looking at Brenda's dress I'm guessing this is 1976? I remember everything then was the Bicentennial. We even had miniature Liberty bells in our school pictures

This was one of the funniest episodes of this show 😂🤣

ooh queen of mean!

From what I’ve read, Linda Lavin was similar in real life.

Chocolate milk on cereal = YUMMM!

Cute episode

When she took the diaper box back from Susan. 😂😂

Her mother isn’t there...weird

Friends and New Girl borrowed the character used to fat in the past idea. And in Rhoda none of these women were even overweight. I'm so glad that there is more casting of all sizes today!

linda lavin playing the rich lady, she played on alice

How is it Mary wasn't at this shower ? lol. Great episode.

I think Janette is at the wrong reunion, she looks at least ten years older than Rhoda .

I wonder did Julie Kavner and Valerie Harper remain friends after the show ended . Does anyone know if Julie made any comments regarding Valerie`s death ?

the old lady was born in 1909, so she was only 65. she could not have retired in 1959. 😜

My mom was born in March 21st 1941

This was HILARIOUS ! Almost as good a BETTER CALL SAUL😁😁

Myrna is the original facebook 😭

Good for Rhoda. Linda is a snob. She wants to mess up Rhoda's bridal shower.

R .i.p RHODA lives

Excellent.

Thanks

Ricky Arnez must be in the studio audience because I can hear him laughing in the audience laughter. maybe it is a laugh track idk. LOL no mistake tho. It's Ricky.

Omg, how did they NOT break up at that person HA HA HA! He sounds like Arnold Horshack

"too many things are unscented todzy" 😁😁😁
