I started to watch it but the picture-quality was really poor! It just looked awful and I so wanted to watch ALL of it. Sorry!

Sorry about the picture quality. The quality of the photos I found are not all perfect and one of the interviews had to be done over Zoom (which doesn't have the best quality). This was also a project for my film class and I tried my best to make it look good. I just used the photos I could find

Thanks, I will check out your video right away. I'm not the biggest Rhoda fan but I always want to learn about series from the '70s on into the '80s.

Sorry to hear about image quality issues; material from before the digital age we're in could be and often is problematic. A lot of stuff I view was recorded by people in their homes, years later to be uploaded -- and despite the limitations of '70s recording and the degraded quality of tapes from the effects of years of storage, fans have added well to archives. While the original networks like CBS oftentimes have made no effort at all to preserve their past programming via restoration and digitalization of original film / video elements -- even for important and popular series.

Thanks for responding! I will definitely give it another go! I did have the opportunity to be in the audience during the 1976-1977 season and that was a TRIP! So exciting but I remember being there for four hours they were such perfectionists constantly re-writing and retakes.

I am so jealous of the fact you got to see Rhoda live!

Me again! I decided to give it another look and was pleased that the video looked SO much better than originally! I enjoyed every minute of it and highly recommend it to lovers of BOTH Rhoda and MTM shows! Congrats!
