*Shout-out to these two books: I, Rhoda, Valerie Harper's autobiography; and Jennifer Keishin Armstrong's Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted; which looks at all the series in the Maryverse. I reviewed the latter here in 2018.
*"Rhoda's Wedding" premiered October 28. 1974 and is the eighth episode of the series. It drew an estimated audience of 52 million viewers (That's even more than the last Battys). Two days before, "The New Sue Ann" episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show led into Rhoda's wedding.
*Rhoda was a top 10 program on Monday nights in first couple seasons, and by the end was on Saturday nights and finished 95 with half as many viewers as in its first two years.
*As of this writing, the series is still not officially available on streaming.
*In 1976, the divorce rate in the USA was 5 per 1,000 people, an all-time high.
*The counseling episode I mention is Season 3's "Two Little Words: Marriage Counselor," guest-starring Rene Auberjonois.
*"The Honeymoon" first aired Monday, November 4, 1974 at 9:30 PM on CBS.
*Ray Buktenica is the actor who plays Benny on the series.
*Here is the Mike/Richard Masur action figure:
*Mell Lazarus' Momma ran in newspaper syndication from 1970-2016.
*Mike did the research on how many episodes of TV Burt Mustin and Charles Lane were in together:
