I only saw like one episode of Rhoda and that was when I was like in 4th grade...all i remember is valerie harper in a wedding dress in a subway..lol.

anway..did u like valerie better on MTM or Rhoda?

For me...It's MTM. I loved Mary and Rhoda...Best of Friends! :D

I liked her better on MTM as well.

On Rhoda she was okay, but sometimes a bit too harsh. It seemed to me that Brenda was the lovable one on that show, the one that you felt for more. And Ida (Nancy Walker) was really the scene stealer.

That pretty much left Rhoda to be the rational (AKA boring) one.

On MTM she was more interesting.

And yes... the friendship with Mary was the best!

:D

I'm a big Rhoda fan, (I just love Valerie--I even had the privelege of meeting her!) but I like her better on MTM. No question! Her chemistry with Mary was just incredible.

Definatley on MTM, they were best friends and it just wasn't the same...

I think Valerie Harper was great on both series. But of course her role was much smaller on MTM, because much of the show was focused on the Mary's life at the News Room. However, we got to see a little more of Valerie Harper's acting talent in Rhoda. She went through everything from marriage to divorce, and at the same time dealing with her mother, sister and the ever annoying "Carlton the Doorman".

Mary may have been able to turn the world on with her smile, but in my humble opinion, Valerie had a little more fire and passion. That passion was best showcased on Rhoda.

RHODA was okay at first and funny sometimes, mostly because of Nancy Walker, but by about the third year it really sucked. In the end they were clearly trying to turn the show into MTM. Rhoda wasn't fat anymore and was acting like Mary Richards. And she worked for a fat man who looked and acted like Lou Grant. There was some guy named Johnny Venture who was stupid and stuck on himself like Ted Baxter, and Brenda was behaving like Rhoda used to on MTM. Only difference is Brenda wasn't fat anymore. They definitely turned the show into a bad MTM ripoff.
