Vic Tayback is on the Parkay Margarine ad. This was shortly after he played Mel Sharples in the hit film 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.' Two years later, he would reprise the role on the CBS hit sitcom 'Alice'.

It's amazing that the US is going to celebrate our 250th next year and I hardly see anything to celebrate it on any media.

A special one-hour Rhoda! And even better, we don’t have to put up with Maude!

2:13 is the same ident used for WCBS-TV in New York City, except WBBM-TV in Chicago, IL was still using “TV2” as its ident.

Oh crap, this means my uncle missed Gunsmoke

Rhoda can't find a cab at 72nd & Broadway?
Must have been fun shooting those exteriors with live traffic.
Guy in subway station @ 46:18 is show producer James L. Brooks.
At 72nd St. station Rhoda gets a #2 train uptown and has to change trains at 149th St./Grand Concourse
to the #4 Jerome Ave. line then gets off the subway at Mt. Eden Ave. station in 'da Bronx in the wide shot
she walks over to  174th St. over I-95 looking west.  Then she heads to the Clifford Place "Step Street"
(also used in the  'Joker" film 2019) and crossing the Grand Course near 174h St.
Who wooda thunk it? Mary Richards in 'da Bronx...

Reruns of 1966's 'It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" and 1973's "Dr. Suess on The Loose" Pre-Empted Gunsmoke that week (the Western in its final season).

Rhoda, will continue in a moment!

1:02:22 is the brief intro to “Medical Center”.

The voice of the drunk door man was also the voice of Garfield

I have the DVDs the background music used in this is different from the DVD version

… never understood why a young, hip, independent city girl like Rhoda, would get married. It never rang true for me, and I stopped watching the show after that.
