Nancy Walker was amazing. Made me cry one minute and laugh the next.

Nancy Walker was always terrific.

At 18:51 in the video when Brenda says “surfing”,you can REALLY HEAR the Marge Simpson come out.

The good days when everyone wasn't staring at their cell phones and actually had to communicate with people..

One of my favorite episodes. Ida being sensitive and not a nag. It is hard to make new friends the older one gets.

How can two classic TV shows The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rhoda be so relatable.

loved the cat lady. she was too funny. :)

"Just eat it. What else would you do with a carrot cake?"
—  Verna, The Cat Lady

I had a similar experience as Ida. I met someone on 4/1/2011 who became a good friend. We hung out a few times. We even went to the Rihanna concert together! They also ended up moving to California 4 months after we met.

Nancy Walker made Ida Morgenstern the gold standard by which every Jewish and gentile mother would be judged. She was iconic.

I miss the seventies.

Brenda looks really good with the longer hair. I don't understand why they always said she was fat ? She wasn't fat at all, she just had a different body type than Rhoda.

This is so funny and so old-school New York.

The Episodes with Ida(&Martin) are the best episodes..miss Joe too!!

another great episode!  

the days when people actually showed up at parties......

At least Ida has two daughters and a husband who all love her.   I'd be content!A word of advice:   NEVER underestimate your girlfriends!   Especially if you are the youngest family member, the only one left and no husband.

One of the better ones from s4, so far--no Gary! So sad that May had to move

Getting older is hard!  It is true because a person keeps losing friends and there are less people to talk to and see.  It is lonely...

From those days to this anytime i hear the word Mahjong I think of Ida. It must have been so hard to get through the scenes with Verna without laughing,  I start laughing the minute I see her seriously so funny
