Amazon.com: Everyone wanted to be like Mary Richards. Most of us felt more like Rhoda Morgenstern. But no matter which woman in the dynamic duo you related to, you'll relish this two-tape collection, Mary and Rhoda: The Very Best of Friends. The set includes five episodes that feature the two together (with just a dash of Phyllis thrown in), from the premiere episode in 1970, "Love Is All Around," in which the two duked it out over the same apartment, to "Best of Enemies" in 1974, when Rhoda spills to the WJM staff that Mary lied on her job application about finishing college. Also in this set is "...Is a Friend in Need," in which Mary proves that even she has a rotten streak as she sabotages Rhoda's attempt to find work in the newsroom. "Some of My Best Friends Are Rhoda" has another woman coming between Mary and Rhoda. After Joanne rear-ends Mary's car, the two end up buddies, and Rhoda feels squeezed out of the picture. In "Rhoda Morgenstern: Minneapolis to New York," Mary goes into denial about Rhoda's imminent departure to go work for Bloomingdale's in the Big Apple. While no compilation of Mary and Rhoda could ever be enough, this set makes an admirable attempt and will be a valuable addition to the collection of any TV fan. --Jenny Brown
