The first spin-off of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Harper reprised her role as Rhoda Morgenstern, a spunky and flamboyantly fashioned young woman seen as unconventional by the standards of her Jewish family from New York. Rhoda begins as the character decides to return to New York City from Minneapolis, where she soon meets and marries Joe Gerard. Julie Kavner co-starred as Rhoda's sister Brenda, alongside Nancy Walker as their mother Ida Morgenstern respectively. The series was the recipient of two Golden Globe Awards and two Primetime Emmy Awards.
