Specialty Definition: Rhoda

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Rhoda was a television spin-off of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Valerie Harper played the lead role of Rhoda Gerard.

Rhoda Morgenstern, recently departed from the Mary Tyler Moore Show, has moved back home to New York City with her new husband. The show also starred David Groh (as Rhoda's Husband), Nancy Walker (as Rhoda's mother), Harold Gould (as Rhoda's father) and Julie Kavner (as Rhoda's sister).

One of the recurring bits was Carlton the Doorman, played by Lorenzo Music, who was the doorman in Rhoda's building. He was often heard on the intercom, but was never seen.
