[QUOTE="Marley Drama, post: 411115, member: 23"] The marriage certainly felt rushed, and I'm sure that would have been the case had I watched at the original weekly pace. A month and a half between the air dates of their first meeting and the wedding is bonkers, even allowing for a time lapse here and there. It did diminish the character of Rhoda in my eyes for a time, because of the way it was written (presumably necessarily, to move the story from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible). Since it's happened I've felt fine with the setup, but I can see how the network pushing for the early marriage took away a lot of material. If the creators had a vision in mind based on the independent Rhoda we knew from [I]MTM[/I], it's understandable they may lose interest when it became a series about a newly-married couple. [/QUOTE]
