Today, October 28 marks the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest sitcom episodes of all-time, Rhoda and Joe's wedding. I remember watching the only hour long episode in the show's run and to be it's definitely a classic.

Feel free to post your memories of the wedding episode. I remember when Phyllis forgot to pick up Rhoda to take her to her parents and she ran through the streets of New York in her wedding dress.

Rhoda should have known better than to rely on Phyllis. But it was a great episode, too bad the marriage didn't last.

Rhoda running through the streets of New York was definitely the highlight of the show.

I love Phyllis "I am so sorry Grandma Morgenstern!".

Georgette is hilarious too,"I forgive you but I'd get my tail out of here before Rhoda shows up!".

I still feel like the DVD was edited because it seems like some scenes of her running in the streets are missing

I watched some of the wedding episode online. Looks like there were some music edits as well, mainly the accordion player.

How and why was that wedding so big? I never grasped it. I'm only 33 so I wouldnt know.

I was all hyped to see the dvd version and it was still cut

My guess is that (The) Mary Tyler Moore (Show) was still very popular, and seeing Rhoda - an independent, single woman who always made fun of herself for it - get married was, indeed, a big deal.

That, and I'm sure it sent a message to women in the 70s.
