Was it too female-centric or was it good enough for anybody to enjoy?

I think in the early seasons,it was a lot more about Rhoda and her female

friends like Susie,Mryna as well as family life and her marriage to Joe.

I feel the first three seasons were the best of Rhoda,there seemed an awful

lot of male characters from season4 onwards,Gary,the unfunny Benny,Jack,

Johnny Vegas.

I liked the fact Rhoda was an idependant woman in the early seasons but

giving her a Lou Grant clone in Jack was a bad idea,the MTM Rhoda and the

Rhoda seasons 1 to 3,would have never worked for Jack Doyle.
