According to a posting by one of the Shout Factory staff members, Rhoda Season 2 is in the works. They've listened to the fans and are doing a great deal of pre-production work to rectify the problems which caused much fan indignation over the quality  of the first season set.

I absolutely love this show, and had assumed after the debacle surrounding Season 1, that there was little to no hope of seeing additional seasons.

I'm glad to know that there WILL likely be a continuation of the series, but better yet, that they are working aggressively to correct their previous mistakes.

Here's a link to the referenced posting: http://www.shoutfactory.com/community/1992/thread.aspx

This is great news. I will defin. buy Season 2 ... I want every season to be honest. Something tells me we could get all the seasons of Rhoda released before we get all of MTM.

It's mind boggling that using syndicated prints could be called a "mistake" at this late date.  You'd think any company involved in putting out TV series on DVD would know that fans want complete, uncut prints.

But, at least they're moving in the right direction.  What they need to do is go back and do Season 1 over again.

Speaking of "Rhoda" I wanna take this time to mention that season one of the show is currently available for free online viewing on Hulu. All season one episodes are there, except for "The Honeymoon", due to legal reasons.

But, there's a catch: 5 of the episodes on Hulu are different from the way they appeared on the DVD:

"You Can Go Home Again" is cut on Hulu, but uncut on the DVD. But, the following 4 episodes, which were cut on the DVD, are, get this: UNCUT on Hulu: "The Lady in Red", "The Shower", "I'm a Little Late, Folks", and "Anything Wrong?".

"Mistake" was my word not theirs...perhaps I should have used a more appropriate term.
Semantics aside, I'm glad that they are at least listening to the fans and making a concerted effort to do better the second time around.

That's nice and all but they should have put that effort into the FIRST season in order to ensure fans were happy and would buy the set. Usually if the first season doesn't sell well then there isn't a second season release. It's as if some of the companies don't even realize they're often robbing themselves of future sales.

I fully agree with that sentiment and am baffled about why they didn't apply that logic to the first set. Several people that post on this board and others cancelled their pre-orders when the reviews of S1 came out.So they unquestionably lost sales because of it.

I don't have the Father Knows Best set, but didn't something similar happen with the first set of that series as far as using cut episodes for S1, and then full length eps for the follow up season?

Their reasoning escapes me....,but on a selfish note, I REALLY want all five seasons of Rhoda uncut....so I'm glad to see them putting in the effort.
