Watching reruns of "Rhoda"

So, I am a little bit sad about Valerie Harper's passing.  I adored Rhoda Morgenstern and there's just not much that's better than "Mary Tyler Moore Show".  I've never really watched Harper's spinoff, so I watched maybe 5 or 6 episodes on youtube.  Dang!  The show is boring, just stilted, forced comedy.  But the worst part of the whole package is Nancy Walker as the most obnoxious mother ever!!!  She makes Sophia Petrillo seem dainty and shy.  (Though I actually like Sophia quite a bit.)  But Nancy Walker is unsufferable.  The only thing that would have made it okay if the show did a running punch line by having the Ida character getting tossed out the window at the end of each episode.  That would have been a real good thing.  I would have liked that.

Besides that, Valerie is likable enough, but she definitely should have stayed at MTM.  The Julie Kavner character is probably the closest the show gets to "funny".  Oh, vey!
