I just read that and it just seemed odd to me that that would be true. I guess I am asking if anybody really knows if that were the case or not?

It's true. During the 1974-75 season, Rhoda was ranked # 6 and MTM was # 11. You have to remember that the wedding episode was huge back in 1974 so I'm not surprised. But Rhoda also beat MTM in 1975-76. It was ranked # 8 and MTM was #19. The following year I don't know about since both fell out of the top 30. The producer's decision to break up Rhoda and Joe was costly.

That's because by time Rhoda started, the Mary Tyler Moore show was losing steam

Off topic, but Solomon, have you ever seen the Mary Tyler Moore Show before? If not, I think you may like it...
