Rhoda - S01E08 & S01E09 - Rhoda's Wedding 

I'm glad you folks like it. It was inspired by my own real life wedding. I told told my totally screwed up wonderful wedding day to Lorenzo Music. He was co-producer as well as the voice for Carlton the doorman. Real life is often wilder than anything you can imagine.

The scenes of Rhoda dressed in her wedding dress running in the streets of NY and in the subway are brilliant.

I was 14 years old when this episode aired, and I remember what a big deal Rhoda's wedding was! More viewers than the football game that night! What joy to see this again 40 years later!

This was really good acting. Way better than what's on tv now.

I remember the night this episode aired! It was one of the most talked about sitcom episodes to air ever at that time. How we all sat around our television sets and watched. Watching this again tonight brings back floods of great memories of innocent times as they were all those decades ago. To those who are as old as I am I am sure you know what I mean, the world was a better place than. It gives me hope watching this tonight that we can some day return to good values and morals compared to now that we had then. Thank you Valerie Harper for giving us Rhoda!

I remember having a night class and RUNNING to my car and RACING home so that I could watch this! Rhoda and Joe...RIP Valerie Harper and David Groh. 💔

RIP in peace Valerie. Somewhere Mary and Rhoda are together again...

23 Million views tuned in to see this wedding back in the day !! It still holds the record for most viewers

How Valerie Harper did those scenes during the summer in NYC running around crowded streets and subways plus climbing staircases in a wedding dress in full view of the general public whilst staying in character is beyond me. That's commitment to your craft.......

How does Cloris Leaachman do it? Every role she plays, she has me in stitches! Love her to pieces.

R.I.P. Valerie Harper who won her 4th Emmy for this classic episode. (The second most watched television episode of all time.)

Rhoda was blessed to have Harold Gould as her father. RIP sweet man.

"If I were you, I'd get my tail out of here before Rhoda shows up" Oh Georgette. LOL

The scene where Rhoda is walking the streets in her gown has to be one of the all time best sit-com scenes ever; tear jerking almost!

The scenes of Rhoda in her wedding dress on the subway, running through the Bronx, looking so beautiful, are iconic TV history

Rest in Peace : Valerie Harper. She made some of my favorite TV shows (MTM, Rhoda, Valerie). So talented and beautiul, too. Valerie Harper will be missed. There is now a new funny lady in Heaven.

RIP Rhoda , Ida and Mary - thanks for all the laughs x

little trivia: the bearded man on the subway platform staring Rhoda down was James L Brooks, creator of the show and also writer and director of "Terms of Endearment" as well as the Simpsons. :)

RIP Valerie Harper. Loved you as Rhoda and on Dancing with the Stars.

Adored this show and the entire cast!! This episode I saw in prime time as we all did!!! Unforgettable memory!! Ida, Nancy Walker was brilliantly funny and love Mary Tyler Moore always looking for the good in people!!

other than maybe All in the Family, was there ever a gathering of such unforgettable and indelible characters in one TV show.

such a talented bunch of actors who come together to produce this, Valerie Harper had it all, multi talented, you dont see sitcoms like this anymore, hard to believe that Valerie, David, Mary, Cloris, Gavin and harold, and the wonderful Nancy Walker are all deceased, these actors had the talent to touch you personally like a great friend or close family member, sheer comedy gold xx

love this so much the world is always changing this brings me back to a good place in time

I'm surprised to find myself a little sad watching this episode, given how Rhoda's marriage turned out. Harper and Groh had good chemistry, and the producers' belief that Rhoda had lost her "edge" as a married woman is ridiculous. The show never regained its footing after the couple's separation. What was for two seasons a hugely successful show is now best remembered as a failure. Harper deserved better.

Nothing worse than being all dressed up and waiting for your ride...but I thought this scene was brilliantly done and heartfelt; just watching Rhoda and her journey to her own wedding was breathtaking.

Wonderful stuff. This show has aged so well. RIP Valerie.

i dont like thinking of this world without valerie harper. she was such a big ray of sunshine! she made me smile from ear to ear...i bet she would have been a joy to know...RIP beautiful Rhoda.

Great shots of Old New York! Dirty.......spray painted......old.........charming ❤️

This aired 20 years before I was born but I've just started watching this show (to see Julie Kavner since I'm a huge Simpsons fan) and I'm already hooked. I love all the 70s fashions!!

well, here we are august 30th. of course this day would come, as it does for us all, but what a blessing that she showed her "doctors" that she would live/die on her own terms. this is the perfect thing to watch right now, through tears, because its such a master class in acting by a master of the form. she just made it look easy. I LOVED this show and still do. and I loved HER.

Brings back memories of my childhood when families actually watched TV and ate supper together.

Ms. Valerie Harper is an incredibly gifted/talented actress. I've seen Ms. Harper in TV shows/movies. Ms. Harper has an awesome way of acting distressed, and simultaneously being resourceful. Thanks for posting this historic episode of Rhoda. Salut du Canada, Ms. Harper!

Will always Remember you Rhoda, Rest in Paradise Mrs Valerie Harper Cacciotti❤💎

I used to watch "Rhoda" when it was aired in Italy (I'm Italian) in the early eighties, and I liked it a lot. I like it even more watching it now in American (even though I don't understand all the lines); it reminds me of other times, good times. I especially love Brenda and her way of crying "hey hey hey!" before hugging someone else. Greetings to everyone from Rome!

When sit coms were actually funny. RIP Valerie Harper / Rhoda Morgenstern

Just think.. that book that Brenda gave Rhoda would be 120 years old today.. hell, it's weird to think this was filmed nearly 50 years ago.. wow on every level.

I remember I had a vocal music concert at school the night this aired in '74, and the teacher said that we'd be home in time to see Rhoda's Wedding on TV. Those were the good old days, no internet, no distractions, no government spying on you through your television. Air travel was also good then too, with proper silverware in coach, and no TSA.

It's interesting that 79 guests was considered a big wedding in the '70s. Too bad it's gotten so ridiculous now. Loving these episodes - that's for uploading!

RIP Valerie may she no longer suffer!! you are forever in our hearts!!

I remember this episode when it aired .. I was 8 years old , my mom laughed

37:32 Ida had me rolling on the floor with that one. Nancy Walker was amazing on this show.

I love this show. !!!!. I love valerie Harper. Love these old sitcoms. Nothing compares to them. Love to go back . Great actress and comedian. The whole cast was great. Cant believe most of them r gone. RIP ALL OF U. love ya all. .🥰🥰🥰😇😇😥😥😥😥😥😓💔💔👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

I am a Rhoda fan. The only Mary Tyler Moore show episodes I liked were the ones with Rhoda in them. Valerie Harper was also good in the movie Blame It on Rio. She played Michael Caine’s wife. This episode of Rhoda’s wedding is my favorite one. ❤️🙏🏻 Thanks for sharing.

I love this show! I also love the mary tyler moore show, the cast was great. Georgia Engel was so adorable!

Cloris Leachman was Hilarious as Phyllis Lindstrom. She was so good that She stole every scene she was in on The MTM show and even here on Rhoda. Phyllis' scenes on Rhoda had the audience in stitches! I am glad they let her guest star on Rhoda even if it was just two episodes..

An unforgettable episode. And an absolute SENSATION at the time. The dash (in her wedding gown) from the Mt Eden stop (on the 4) along the Cross Bx, and across the Concourse has become Television History - and rightly so. No single form of media today can hold us in its power the way "Rhoda" did in 74. Valerie, full props. Whatever the future may hold, you will live forever in our hearts.

I love Georgette. She's so cute.

- Who’s here August 31, 2019? Rest In Peace Rhoda Morgenstern.

This is one of my favorite episodes of all time is Rhoda’s Wedding from 1974 it became one of the best groundbreaking shows of all time it was a ratings hit tied in with Monday Night Football on ABC!!!!!! I love Valerie Harper from The Mary Tyler Moore Show!!!!! Thanks for posting this video!!!!! I love it!!!!! I love the 70s!!!!! Can you dig it!!!!!! R.I.P. Valerie Harper we will always cherish the memories of a television icon we will miss you!!!!!

This will always be one of my favorite shows. I still get upset when they break up Joe and Rhoda.

I just watched this and I had to giggle. I had a small wedding 15 years ago, like this one, at my mom and dad's. And yes, we did have an accordion player for music. It was truly wonderful and memorable!

💕❤️One of my favorite episodes!❤️💕 Love you Rhoda!

Great acting and writing throughout this whole episode. Valerie Harper was so good. To stay in character running around NYC and on the subway no less was a feat. I'm sure she couldn't wait to get out of that dress. On a side note: cars sure were huge in the 70's.

"Mary, you've always been like a daughter to me...so shut up!"

" Not my Gotham anymore " great line.

Rhoda was a great show. RIP Valerie ❤ 🙏

There all in heaven now. RIP BOTH OF THESE GOLDEN TALENT AND HUMANS

If people understand that this was the era before cell phones and Ubers...when people don't show, you just didn't know...Love this episode, remember it well back in the day!

It's coming up to 50 years folks and it's still fresh, relevant, funny and nostalgic. Sign of a true classic.

She was so awesome just like Mary Tyler Moore. Joe and Rhoda were perfect together! ♡

Our Rhoda going through the city is timeless. No one ever thought of doing this to a character. It was revolutionary. I have watched this over the years and always thing there was wild music playing as she traveled but it’s sparse . It’s mixed in with sounds of the city and there is something just terribly beautiful seeing her navigating that moment as she always did in life. The entire country was with ya, kid. We miss you. We love you.

Brings back great memories. Especially the extraordinary Broadway actress Nancy Walker as Rhoda's mother. When Rhoda and Joe eventually split up, Rhoda doesn't tell Ida. But she knows everything! In an effort to get Rhoda to spill the bad news, she advises her to "separate your thoughts."

This episode aired when I was in 7th grade, growing up in the neighborhood (The Grand Concourse in the Bronx) where Rhoda’s parents were supposed to have lived. Those Bronx scenes all bring back memories of my childhood. This episode is all we talked about at school the day before and after.

Genuine comedy from very talented actors, writers and all that were responsible in creating such a great weekly show. Brilliant upload, thanks for bringing it to us.

"I'll kill you!" Ida was little. But was a force to be reckoned with.😂

Lou being Lou: "Cute. Cute as hell." (19:43) Love it!

Rhoda said if she wasn't married by 35, you were gonna take your clothes off in Macy's window😭😭😭😭

Excellent shows both the Mary Tyler Moore show and Rhoda were some of my favorite shows growing up. Most of the cast are gone. In 2021, Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman and Gavin MacLeod passed away.

The accordion player is Frank Marocco, who played on several tracks of the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds"

Being an Artist and from the Bronx, I love Rhoda!!! Yes, I also 'Ran Away From Home'...but I returned so I can identify when she says, 'New York!, this is your last chance!' :) Thanks so much.

The highest rated episode of this series! It was great to see The Mary Tyler Moore cast guest star!

I can't believe it Rhoda , Mary Georgette ,.and now Phyllis are all gone now This episode brings back so many wonder ful memories To See Them Again Just Comforts Me In So Many Ways How I Miss Them All Thank For All The Wonderful Memories Laughs Great Times This Truly Is Pieces of Television History We Were Blessed To Have Had Them Missing All Of You Dearly!

Before Carrie Bradshaw there was Rhoda. RIP sweet angel....

39:21 the young man getting off the train in the blue shirt with the Pepsi was my friend. He just happened to be getting off the train as they were filming (apparently not getting any permits to do so). He passed away March 5th 2021...a day before his 65th birthday.

Love this show!! Great acting!! Rhoda you were a beautiful bride!! God Bless you, r.i.p💖

Classic wedding! Everyone wanted Rhoda & Joe to get married. Whether you liked or hated what happened afterward (I hated it) we’ll always have the wedding. I remember watching this when it aired. It was big news.

A television comedy landmark. More than 52-million people tuned in to watch in 1974. A hit show gets maybe 4 million today.

Rhoda and Joe make a fabulous couple - great on-screen chemistry.

Kinda amazing that Rhoda's father dated Rose Nylund later in life 😊

drmgrl11 - That laugh you hear is James L. Brooks, creator of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, Taxi, The Simpsons, and more. His laugh is unique, and always stood out because he was so close to the boom (overhead microphone on a pole). On many of the shows he created and co-created you can hear his signature laugh on certain episodes. I'm sure if The Simpsons had been real life with an audience instead of animated we'd be hearing his laugh there too :-)

To Rhonda Morgenstern- she passed away - RIP You were terrific!

40 years later and this is is still one of the most epic episodes in tv history , the writing and acting were all top notch and still funny even now, the series wasn't that great but this episode is top quality! i am not biased either, I was born in the 90s!

What a charming episode and series - nothing like it is on television now.

"I dont wanna hear about it!" Just love Ida!😂

Rhoda was so much like the majority of us!! That's what endeared her to us.

Oh Lord, I LOVE the mother! I forgot all about her. She was fantastic!! Thanks for posting.

Thanks much for uploading this . I’m 58 now but oh boy it brings back so many fond memories so much so I’m in tears 😭.

I was a kid when these shows aired...its refreshing to see them again...I love clean comedy

Man when the writers saw how fans sent wedding gifts and the record breaking ratings this episode got, why on earth would they ever think of breaking them up??? Even if they thought married Rhoda was boring the audience obviously didn't mind tuning in. I do applaud them for daring to be different tho, other sitcoms at the time never bothered to step out of the status quo for main characters. I would've loved to see Rhoda become a mom.

Omg ...Cloris Leachman was brilliance personified

I remember watching these shows as a child. I never realized how cutting edge they were for the times.

All these years I had never seen this episode. Thanks for uploading this! 😊

52 Million people saw this. Incredible. Maybe we are people who can totally relate to Rhoda

Upsetting all 3 are gone now-- great together.

What a wonderful treat. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Words cannot describe my feels about this episode :)

Dear God-pushing half a century and it still can choke me up.

Phyllis stole every scene she was ever in...

I have watched this episode several times but never realized that it was filmed live on the streets of New York… Thank you, to those that pointed that out. I watched it with new eyes.

One of the best sitcom episodes ever.
