The producers of the series have expressed in interviews that one of the worst episodes was "Some of My Best Friends Are Rhoda," in which Mary confronts her new friend, Joanna Forbes (played by Mary Frann), about her anti-Semitism. Everyone involved in the episode agreed it fell flat and was tonally way off-key for the series. "We are not Maude," Mary Tyler Moore said of the episode, which was attempting to tiptoe into topical and political All in the Family (1971) territory. The show stayed away from confrontational Norman Lear-ish envelope pushing after this episode. Coincidentally, Mary Frann would star as another character named Joanna, Joanna Louden, years later on another hit CBS sitcom also produced by MTM studios, "Newhart," which ran from 1982 to 1990.
