About 80% of you are Sue Ann

And the rest are Murray or Lou

Always a Rhoda :)

I feel like Rhoda but people treat me like Mary.

I honestly think I'm both. It's why I'm so fucked up.

by Anonymousreply 4August 24, 2022 4:20 PM

Rhoda, simply for the fact that I think I am still traumatized, 30+ years later, by the vile cocksuckers who loved to call everyone Mary. They were the worst, aged twinks with little mustaches, just the bottom of the barrel, vile creatures. Hopefully most of them have died off by now, so I can one day start appreciating the name Mary once again.

I wish my handle was Rhodala too. Just perfect!

Everyone on DL wants to be Mary, thinks they're Rhoda, is actually Phyllis.

What was the big deal about Mary? Rhoda was way more fun.

Who would want to be Mary? The poor girl is starving.

I am Rhonda, I know I'm Rhoda, I love being Rhoda. Mary is way too dull.

The appeal of Mary is that everyone wants to be her or be with her. Even though she lacked confidence many times. She was revered though. Like how many times did Rhoda’s men want her instead? Physically I think Rhoda was always better looking.

Damn Rhoda was ANNOYING.

Unfortunately I’m a Rhoda.

The appeal of Mary is that Mary Tyler Moore thought everyone wanted to be her or be with her.

Why would a three floor home, with three apartments in it have a unit 9E?

by Anonymousreply 21August 24, 2022 7:11 PM

Although it stretched the imagination, it had more than 3 apartments. There was an episode where we met Mary’s downstairs neighbor. What I never got is why Rhoda was in that tiny apartment, yet earned more than Mary.

I’m Rodent, her name in Mad’s satire of the MTM show. I always wanted to have a daughter so I could name her Rodent.

(R21) The Apt 9E was Rhoda's penthouse apt in NYC, not Minneapolis. OP's pic is from a Rhoda episode when Mary made a surprise visit to NYC

by Anonymousreply 28August 25, 2022 6:30 AM

^ But in the exterior shots, Rhoda's apartment building was only a 6-story building,

so Rhoda's apartment number #9E was confusing

by Anonymousreply 29August 26, 2022 10:09 AM

R29 A secret: Rhoda's bedroom was a set on a sound stage, likely neither on the sixth nor the ninth floor. The writers wrote "ninth" and the director chose an exterior they thought had the right Rhoda vibe. And that's all: just a work of fiction. No need to be confused.

Maybe the entire Rhoda show was a dream, and on the last show (that was never aired) Rhoda woke up in her little garret apartment in Minneapolis, just like what happened to Newhart!

But what happened to the girls in Apartment 3G?

Which one of you is the Mary Frann character who breezed in and became Mary's new instant BFF, kept forgetting to write Mary a check for the car repair and then didn't want Jewish Rhoda at the tennis club?

Me? I guess I'm Sue Ann since I like to cook and organize and once upon a time I loved hosting dinner parties. That was before everyone became a pain in the ass with their gluten sensitivities and various other self inflicted restrictions.

Rhoda was funny and pretended to be fat while being skinny. She is the good version of a gay man.

Mary was a type A stick in the mud with her nose to the grindstone for a job she just randomly happened upon and had no reason to dedicate so much of her life to. She is the annoying version of a gay man.

R36 As an aside, I think MTM said she felt that was the worst episode of the MTM Show, and they tried to avoid "message" shows after that episode aired.

As an aside to my aside, the CBS Saturday night lineup in the 1970s was possibly the best TV comedy lineup in the history of broadcast television: All in the Family, M*A*SH, The MTM Show, The Bob Newhart Show, and The Carol Burnett Show. It was also a good excuse for a closeted gayling not having a Saturday night date!

I’m a Mary, you Mary’s and not a Rhoda-slob. I I keep a clean and tidy house, dress well and know how to entertain though the latter wasn’t one of Mary’s strengths but I’m really a Mary.

Depends on the day. ;D Seriously, though, I love threads and pics like that of them. I'd like to daydream that in "TV Heaven" somewhere, they're together forever in that beautiful old house living back in their respective apartments, going up and downstairs visiting each other and reminiscing about all their adventures, relationships, fights, fun times -- and how glad they must be to be off the fuck of a trainwreck that this planet earth has become since they left it!
