★★★★★ great season!
The second season of Rhoda is even better than the first season! It seems to pick up steam as it goes, and has some very funny episodes. Rhoda is coming into her own and the storylines continue to be interesting. The actress who plays her sister (julie Kavner) is so funny also. I highly recommend this for bringing back memories, or enjoying a funny comedy show. It really is classic and doesn't seem to matter that it was filmed decades ago. Great show!
★★★★★ Awesome!
I just love Valerie Harper in Rhoda. I own Season 1 so I want to add to my collection.
★★★☆☆ SOME FUN - BUT A SERIES IN RAPID DECLINE
The quality of these shows is just great - picture and sound are excellent and all episodes are unedited. Of course it makes you question why the first season is not available in the same wonderful condition. Anyone know the reason???
Unfortunately after viewing this season (I had seen these episodes originally when aired in 1975-1976) I felt sad realizing how poor most of the episodes were. With the exception of the one where Rhoda meets Joe's ex-wife and the one guest starring the great Vivian Vance (which ironically gave Nancy Walker her best perfomance this season) most of the rest of the episodes were contrived, labored and just plain boring. Many of the episodes revolved around Brenda's lackluster life with Rhoda being the sage "sidekick". In any event it is just inconceivable that such a top notch writing team could not be more creative, ie. realistic character development, introducing new interesting characters, presenting more topical situations, etc.
I once read a TV sitcom review book published in the early 80s which contained the comment "how did Rhoda the soaring become Rhoda the boring?" Well we can conjecture on the "how" but this season is definitely the "when". It is really a shame!!!

★★★★★ Rhoda season 2
I so enjoy the antics of Rhoda & her family again, as I did when Rhoda was on Mary Tyler Moore. I found it very funny & heartwarming. recommend it highly.
★★★★★ A springboard to Phyllis
I was so excited to see this notice! I live in Brazil and we also had this trio (Mary, Rhoda and Phyllis) shows in the 70's. But the one I liked and laughed most was with Cloris Leachman's Phyllis (by the way I've just bought her autobiography - Cloris - with George Englund!), and I'm really looking forward seeing Phyllis released! I wasn't able to understand all the introduction song lyrics then, sung in English, but it showed a lot of enthusiastic aspects of a charming life and personality, featuring an all-smiles Phyllis in all of them, giving a gleaming aura to each one. And the song went on: "Who makes a cross around the... Golden Gate ;..."(who does this, who does that, and the Grand Finale : "Who? Phyllis? It sure isn't you!". Cut to Cloris Leachman astonished and caught by surprise expression that this disappointing revelation triggered! It was the beginning of a half hour of pure fun! And when all 3 appeared together it was promise of certain amusement. I don't forget the episode when Rhoda won one Miss something Contest, and at the beginning was ashamed of telling Phyllis, and said she was a runner-up. Then, all by herself, she began to enjoy the feeling, all dressed up with the winner ribbon, Phyllis comes in all of a sudden, sees it and says something like "they made a bustle out of this second place" to what Rhoda answered : "Darling, I won!"
