The thought kept running through my mind, "Rhoda, how could as I watched the wedding along with the other millions of viewers.

I didn't watch many episodes after that. When I watched, it was to catch Brenda, Rhoda's younger sister who showed some promise of remaining insecure, overweight and dateless on Saturday nights. But Brenda still wasn't the old Rhoda. So I confess I looked forward with glee to Monday night's show when Rhoda and Joe would separate. There was Joe being his gentle self, telling Rhoda there was Khooa, immediately assuming, "It's me.

Is itme, thenshe did what the old Rhoda would have done she blocked the entrance to their bedroom and refused to allow Joe to pack a bag or to get some shirts or even some underwear in one of the funniest scenes in that funny, sad episode. Something was wrong. I wasn't happy that Rhoda would once again live the single's life. I don't know why. Maybe I always thought Rhoda would walk out on Joe.

Maybe I always thought that was one marriage that would not go under for some reason that couldn't be put in words. Big deal: He wasn'thappy. Is that any reason to walk out on our Rhoda? Joe, how could you? TV Review back a long way to the first days of the "Mary Tyler Moore Show." In TV Review ine Quest" is not a cop show but is the first new Western to be on Edwin Newman To Lead Debate girl and her child, but the girl is not the brothers' sister. However, they take her under their wing and help her fry to adjust to the new world of the white man, the world she had left behind her. And that is the trouble; we have seen in countless old Westerns the saga of a white girl freed from the Indians only to be shunned by society.

Even with the good acting, well-done scripting and production excellence, there are still too many tired story lines from old Westerns floating around in my head to make this new Western a refreshing one. But if Starsky and Hutch can breathe life into the tired cop show genre, maybe Russell and Matheson can do the same with "The Quest" Monday night on KGGM-TV Channel.13 and my first reaction was to try desperately to like it. Richard Crenna (who plays conservative columnist Richard Barrington) is a fine actor, and I thoroughly enjoy Bernadette Peters (whoplaysliberal photographer "Charlie" Drake). I even enjoy the two of them together on the show until they start spouting Agnewian political pundits and taunting each other with their arch-conservatism and arch-liberalism. What rubs me wrong about this show is that its political message is done much better while being less obviously and blatantly labeled "liberal" and "conservative" on "All in the Family," "Maude," and other sitcoms.

I hate being told too obviously what people stand for and should stand for because they are of either political extreme. premiered Monday night on KGGM-TVand the nicest thing I can say about that show is it could easily be called "Peyton Place Corporation." The series is about the trials and tribulations of big business. But the fascinating element of the opening show was how a man can be so naive not to know that his "wife" is a former porno queen?

She was losing weight. She was wearing fashionable at times still a little eccentric clothes. TV in a couple of years, characters, Morgan (Kurt Russell) and Quentin Beau-dine (Tim Matheson), remind me of the kind of. magical comaraderie that Starsky and Hutch have. This first episode has the brothers, one raised by Indians the other by the white man, accompany a Cavalry detail to raid (and massacre) an Indian village in the hopes of locating their sister.
