I was watching some Rhoda reruns from Netflix and she was sitting at a bar, waiting for Joe, her husband, and in comes a drunk dude and sits down beside her and proceeds to hit on her. It was John Crawford! He looked exactly like he did in the Waltons!

About 30 years ago a book came out called Rated X-How Television has become immoral. It had some good things to say about The Waltons but one chapter described how the script-writers destroyed Rhoda's happy marriage. I did not buy or read the book but I am sure this is what happened here--sorry to say

I'm on the second season, and Rhoda hasn't been married very long. I never did like the idea of her and Joe divorcing. It really put a damper on things.

I agree that Rhoda and Joe's divorce ruined the show. I remember the wedding episode, which got very high ratings if I remember correctly. I remember on one episode, the Morgensterns were discussing "The Waltons" as many shows in the '70s did.

I don't remember hearing anyone mention the Waltons, but then again, I miss so much the first time around, that I catch the second and third time around.

Rhoda submitted a book she wrote about food, to a publisher, and they called her to come in for an interview about the book. The publisher behind the desk is the same lady that John Boy went to in NYC when he was worried about his manuscript being lost.

So Rhoda was around first. I initially got to know her in the early Mary Tyler Moore episodes in the fall of 1970 and spring of 1971.

Rhoda was spun off from MTM,along with another of Mary Richards' friends,her landlady Phyllis,who was given her own sitcom as well. John Ritter (Rev.Fordwick) guest starred on Phyllis and I think he was on Rhoda as well if memory serves.

I started out watching the Mary Tyler Moore show from its beginning and that's where Valerie aka Rhoda was introduced. In her early MTM appearances, she was dowdy and overweight. She really blossomed and then got her own show.

It can also be noted that John Ritter appeared on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the episode "Ted's Wedding" in which he played the minister who married Ted and Georgette.

I was watching an Andy Griffith episode last night, where the new mayor didn't like it that Andy was letting a moonshiner take a few days off from serving his jail sentence, in order to get his crops in on time, then he had to come back and finish serving. The guys wife came to pick him up at the jail, and was Miss Mamie Baldwin (Helen Kleeb). I was surprised, and she didn't say but 2 words!
