Valerie Harper Wants Another 'Mary & Rhoda' Reunion! Do You??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 02-21-2011, 10:45 PM

We’re not saying it’s a Mary-Rhoda reunion (just yet). But we’re not saying it’s not, either.

Interviewed on Let’s Do Lunch, the actress who immortalized Rhoda Morgenstern on that classic ‘70s sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and its spinoff, Rhoda, says yet another pairing could be in the BFFs’ future.

When host Robin Milling asks, “Will you ever reunite for a Mary Tyler Moore movie?” Valerie Harper—who did re-team with Mary for the 2000 TV flick Mary and Rhoda—replies:

“There’s no movie in the works for me at the moment, but you never know what’s gonna come up.

“Boy, what would we do this time? We’d be grandmothers maybe!” she continues.

“I’ll talk to Mary about it. I’d love to work with her again.”

Valerie also credits Mary for helping her move from second to first banana.

“A real life-changer was I didn’t want to do a spinoff, and [Mary] said, ‘Are you crazy?! Do the spinoff. You don’t want to be my sidekick all your life.’

“I said, ‘Yes! Yes I do!’”

I would watch a Mary/Rhoda movie. I would hope that this time other members of the TMTMS and Rhoda casts would be included!

Well, it sounds if Valerie had her way, at least Betty White would be included.

Well that's a good start but I'd also like to see Ed Asner, Gavin McLeod, Cloris Leachman, Georgia Engel, and Julie Kavner in the movie to name a few!

AGREED!

That would be cool, but I know it may be very hard for Mary now b/c of her on-coming blindness. (You really need to read her 2nd book to *truely* understand from her POV)

But yes, that would be nice to see. IF it is ever made, of course.
