Has anyone ever seen "Anne Murray in Jamaica"? (It is available on DVD) It is notable because Valerie Harper is a guest star and in her first segment she actually (briefly) speaks in Rhoda character, to contrast what Rhoda and Valerie thought of the Caribbean. Currently there's no video anywhere, and I would need to go back to the DVD to transcribe what was said. But does anyone else remember this?

I've got the DVD in front of me, here is what's said:

ANNE: Jamaica has become home for many of its famous visitors, including Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels; Noel Coward, whose estate you're now looking at; and Rhoda Morgenstern, formerly of New York City...

VALERIE (as "Rhoda"): No, no, no, no, I couldn't live here all the time, no way, I mean, all this clean air getting in my lungs, never.

ANNE: Oh yes, supposing all that sun...

VALERIE: The sun! It tans you, it gets on your face, your body, no. No, no. I am personally of the opinion that the human body requires soot.

ANNE: And of course on the other hand, as Valerie Harper...

VALERIE (as herself): It's paradise. I absolutely love Jamaica.

Then she goes on to tell what she learned about the istory of the island, about slvery being abolished, and about Blackbeard the pirate coming from there (and adding that pirates would be terrible blind dates...even for Rhoda)
