@The mysterious Miss X you must be very young and way over sensitive. Nothing said here was rude or in any way a put down, no matter how hard you try to twist it. True friends are close enough to say anything to each other in a kind voice. Real friends are open and tell you the truth instead of lies. But in a kind way, not ugly or hateful. The wounds of a true friend are better than the flattery of a fake who stabs you in the back later.
Mary and Rhoda are together now. Miss you both well done ladies well done Rip Valerie thanks for all you did to entertain us over godspeed sweet lady Valerie Harper You are already missed.
When I look at Mary here, I still see the wife of the Dick Van Dyke show. She was really good in some of my favorite movies. Change of Habit, and 6 weeks.
Let's not forget Joe is gone now, too, as are Carlton the doorman and Rhoda's parents Ida and Martin and Gary Levy their neighbor.Wow,so much has changed.Doesn't seem possible
Please don't post RIP in comments . It's a downer and not the appropriate place . The character Rhoda is alive and well. Don't spoil things. TV is supposed to be a escape from reality. I hate seeing that. We need a nice escape especially now. I know you didn't mean anything by it.
I know! I used to watch BOTH the shows (MTM and Rhoda). LONG before "Romy and Michelle", I used to say "I am Rhoda on the outside, but Mary on the inside".
Meir Wise Never again because there are no young female actresses who can live up to all those great gals from that era. Yes, I do know that it was a rhetorical question too.
This is so great and weird at the same time...ya know, watching these episodes sparks some kinda feelings inside of me...I can actually remember (from SOME of these episodes), what I was going through with my little frenemies in school!! Our brains are so amazing!!! Thank you for these! on to season 2 - Be safe and take care😎
"Beats the pink and purple passion pad in Minneapolis" Hahaha, I love Rhoda. I think she was a little funnier in MTM but that's just me. I love her and Mary's friendship too much.
Very impressed to have (okay okay - you dragged it out of me! I BINGED THE WHOLE FIRST SEASON IN THREE DAYS! There. You HAPPY now?!) the full season in easy-play full screen playback. Thank you for the upload. Rhoda was my fave during The Mary Tyler Moore Show - of which I watched for the first time last year - from public library dvds. I had no idea she had gone-on to do her own show until halfway through the season she wasn’t with Mary! I was born in 1970, but somehow managed to never see either of these two shows until around now! Go figure. Again; thank you for the upload.
@The mysterious Miss X , Yep, David Groh passed away in back 2008. I think people often make the mistake of mixing up actors with the characters they portray. Some folks might not like Joe, but David Groh was a talented actor and from what I heard, a really good guy, so he deserves some love and remembrances too. RIP big guy!
Joe Shoulda did what I woulda done ...moved out and initiated the divorce. She wanted the marriage now she wants to put her husband last...typical boomer 60s feminist
At some point doormen formed a union, so maybe Carlton wanted to rack up as much OT as he could. Between the OT money, bonuses and tips he could afford to be a lush. Plus, with the union might behind him, his chance of being fired was between 0 and 1.
I never thought he was a loudmouth and jerk till I got much older. That said, he is just saying the lines that were written for him and I certainly didn’t want them to divorce. Now, that was a dumb idea.
All great except Joe!! Loved when Mary scolds Rhoda about not telling her!! When she says Va Cay tion!! Lol Mary was priceless in this scene!! Ida was brilliant as usual
Lorenzo Music the producer did Carlton the door man AND Garfields voice! Also Julie Kavner is the voice of Marge Simpson! Love this show thanks for posting these.
Yep, sad but true. I would feel odd knowing that I was the lone survivor of a show. Betty White is in the same boat and pretty much Todd Bridges. All of the shows from my youth have produced many sad notions that this life goes quick.
LG There were some episodes where he was very nice and very patient with Rhoda. Sometimes he was TOO nice & patient with her, in fact. For example, there was the time she went out to dinner with an ex of hers although it was disrespectful to her husband & despite the fact that he was clearly not comfortable with her "date."
In this episode he had a right to be vexed with Mary, for just showing up assuming Rhoda and Joe would be able to host her for a weekend, and with Rhoda for not telling Mary at her arrival that she and Joe were en route to a weekend vacation. Comic premise flimsy.
Ingrid Dubbel all that Kristy Nicole was saying is that she wishes that because she thinks it would have been fun. Don’t be obnoxious to strangers on the internet. You wouldn’t look her in the eye and say that in person.
What do you people not understand by how she said “i wish that…”? She wasnt stating what she said as *fact*. She just saying that she wished that’s how it went. People SUCK at reading these days
Once again, Joe puts his own pleasure ahead of his son - he didn't even THINK about the fact that it was his turn to have his son, and his solution? Palm him off on whoever he can. So let's look at this: the child has already gone through one of life's worst traumas for a child - the divorce of his parents. Then when it's time to be with his father, his father has other plans and is happy to dump him on other people - just like the first time Rhoda met him. He's a lousy father, because he cares more about his own pleasure and satisfaction than his son. If he can't make a sacrifice to develop a relationship with his son, how does anyone expect him to make sacrifices to grow in his relationship with his wife? Rhoda and Joe's divorce was inevitable: he doesn't know how to be married because it requires making sacrifices, growing in virtue, and choosing the good of other people over your own impulses, desires and pleasures.
You do know this is a fictional show right? A comedy show at that. I don't know that you need to analyse Joe parenting methods to this degree, it's a story.
Joe was a douchebag from his first moment on screen when he walks right into Brenda’s apartment and uses the phone. In those days that was the same as going into someone’s house and opening the fridge. In this case, his wife’s best friend was unexpectedly in town and instead of being happy for her and letting her spend time with her friend, he’s got to act like a 6 year old who’s dad missed his baseball game.
In the early episodes the intro says I was born in 1939 and I thought I was responsible for WW2, then later episodes it says I was born in 1941 etc etc. Did the writers only realise that the US only officially entered WW2 in '41 at a later stage 😆
Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, which was the official start of WWII globally; the US didn't enter until 1941. Also, Valerie Harper was born in in 1939.
Christopher Miller Yes, Mary was pretty but at the same time, her face always looked worried to me. Even when she wasn't worried, her face still always looked like it.
And 2021! Me & mum 🙏 loved this show & I adored Valerie!! Great teamwork made this show so brilliant. Too much analysing these days Thanks for the magic. x 🤗
I don't know why the writers had Rhoda marry such an unlikable prick. He's such an ass in this episode. I think the show would've been so much better if they kept Rhoda single from the start and marry her off at the end of the series. It's always nice to see Mary though.
It seems Rhoda could never make Joe happy. He even says when divorcing he just isn't happy. It was that way from the beginning. It's the way it was written which really was too bad because I really think they could have done a lot with them together they had great chemistry and seemed comfortable with each other.
But she's always found it hard to tell it straight away because she's only looking out for Mary's feelings. They are best friends. Joe shouldn't of been so upset.
Great writing. Great acting. Eventually Rhoda and Joe split up, but there aren't any cheap laughs in this show. The situations were true to life, even if they were uncomfortable.
Yes, and rewatching these episodes now as an adult (I was a teenager when they first aired in the '70s), and also knowing Rhoda and Joe's ultimate fate, it casts these (seemingly) trivial arguments in a new light. Earlier in the season, Joe asked Rhoda to move in with him, but she told him that she couldn't live with him if they weren't married. Though they didn't reveal this until after they separated, he married her, but secretly resented having to do so, and I see these little spats between them as symptoms of that resentment. He loved her, but he felt that he'd married her under duress. The whole storyline about the separation and divorce was, of course, a "downer" (particularly for a sitcom during the mid-70s), but having since experienced a number of painful breakups, I can now appreciate how realistic and moving those separation/divorce episodes were in a way that I couldn't have when I first saw these as a 16-year old.
Compare with Mary, who knew who was right for her. Rhoda perhaps realistic. Choices not always right. People imperfect. Writers intended this. Great contrast here with friendship versus spouse storyline.
@@glen7318 That's true. I was in my early-20s when Joe & Rhoda split up. I was more upset with it than I was with my own parents splitting up at the same time!
@@wotan10950 I think that the show's producers didn't mean to break them up which is why the whole marriage and end of it came across as a bit too realisitc and as such painful. Joe does come across as bad tempered, so perhaps they went with that, as a way of breaking htem up.. that he got angry over things and it messed up the marriage... and David Groh didn't seem to be able to act with a light touch so he seemed genuinely angry a lot of the time.
I agree withDlfreightet watcher. Lorenzo Music did the voice of Carlton the doorman and Garfield while Julie Kavner who played Rhoda's sister is the voice of Marge Simpson on the Simpsons. They work together just beautifully and continue to overwhelm an audience!
I wish I could go back in time 40 years and meet her. Heck, I would even meet her today out of respect for her regarding her courage in her battle against brain cancer.
In MTM Rhoda was so self deprecating, but by today's standards so hot. Then she was considered "fat," but any guy now would call her hot. Just gorgeous in seventies. The ultimate combination would be Jaclyn Smith. Just breathtaking in seventies.
Can't believe I breezed thru this whole season that fast! It usually takes me twice as long to watch a season of MTM. I'm trying to watch both in the same timeline but I seemed to have left season 5 of Mary in the dust lol I'm also on season 3 of Bob newhart, 74-75 was a good sitcom year.
The premise here didn't ring true - it was out-of-character for Mary to come to town without telling Rhoda. And Mary Richards never barged in on anyone - she was always the one being barged in on
Funny, i was just a kid back then, but i don't remember him being the bad guy. As an adult, i realize he had reason to be upset whenever he was angry, but he was very hot-tempered, yikes.
But if you were him in real life and your wife said that she would rather hang out with an old friend instead of going on a vacation that you two planned on and paid for you expect him not to be pissed? You would be screaming and complaining more than him IN REAL LIFE.
"Along Comes Mary" might be the 25th and final episode of Season 1 of "Rhoda", named after The Association song "Along Comes Mary" (1966). Written by Charlotte Brown and Coleman Mitchell & Geoffrey Neigher, and directed by Robert Moore. It originally aired on CBS on March 10, 1975.
Joe was always angry about something in every episode. He was the wrong pick for Rhoda as far as a husband. In retrospect she never should have gotten married so quickly in the first season. He was not a good fit for Rhoda at all. Mary and Rhoda together again was awesome. Brenda and Rhoda had good chemistry throughout the entire series. Ida was the greatest !
People have been saying in the comments he never really wanted to be married in the first place. If that’s how it was then it’s no surprise that’s it went as it did.
I don't understand why people are saying bad stuff about Joe in regard to this episode. Rhoda was so wrong. With work schedules there was a chance for them to go away for a few days. The first time since their honeymoon. If Joe had had a friend come in and did like Rhoda did ppl would have been griping about that. Mary or Rhoda could have planned to see each other another time. One of them fly to the other person's home for a nice visit for a couple of days. Plus, Rhoda lied to both Mary and Joe. Not cool. (Today's date is October 3, 2016.)
Actually the beginning of the end was early in the season when Joe had asked Rhoda to move in with him, and she told him that she couldn't live with him unless they were married. Though the writers didn't know at the time that they'd split them up a couple of seasons later, they eventually went back and used that, when Joe told Rhoda that he felt pressured to marry her. Even though no one wanted to see them split up, since it writers were intent upon doing so, I thought it was a very savvy use of an already-established plot point.
