Rhoda which began in the fall of 1974, began each episode
(at least the 1st season) with Valerie Harper stating: "My name
is Rhoda Morgenstern.
I was born in the Bronx, New York in December, 1941.
I've always felt responsible for World War II.
The first thing I remember liking that liked me back was food.
I had a bad puberty, it lasted 17 years.
I'm a high school graduate, I went to art school.
My entrance exam was on a book of matches.
I decided to move out of the house when I was 24, my mother still
refers to this as the time I ran away from home.
Eventually I ran to Minneapolis where it's cold, and I figured
I'd keep better.
Now I'm back in Manhattan. New York, this is your last chance!".
Rhoda is the successful spin-off to the classic The Mary Tyler Moore Show
