Quirky
sitcom spin off from The Mary Tyler Moore Show
in which Rhoda Morgenstern moved back home to
New York, she quickly fell in love and married
businessman Joe Gerard who ran the New York
Wrecking Company; He had been married before and
had a 10 year old son.
At the start of the series Rhoda had been living
in an apartment block with her sister Brenda and
after her marriage she and Joe moved into an
apartment in the same block. Rhoda then started
her own window dressing business but married
life began to pall and within two seasons she
and Joe had separated.
Around this time more emphasis was also placed
on Rhoda's sister Brenda. During the next couple
of seasons Rhoda re-adjusted to singledom but
later began a relationship with entertainer
Johnny Venture.
Again
the following season brought changes; Rhoda
changed jobs, she began working for the Doyle
Costume company run by Jack Doyle and much of
the action now centered around the company. Also
a big part of the show was Rhoda's typically
Jewish mother Ida Morgenstern. Also a regular
was the heard but never seen apartment block
doorman Carlton.
In
1974, Harper won the Emmy for Best Comic
