Rhoda - Finally! A DVD Release for 'Season 5: The Final Season' Coming to stores in mid-August from Shout! Factory

At last! The final season of Rhoda, the hilarious and award-winning spin-off to the classic The Mary Tyler Moore Show, arrives on DVD. Starring Valerie Harper as the charming and cheeky New Yorker Rhoda Morgenstern, Rhoda's final thirteen episodes are a baker's dozen of comedic tales that the series' many fans will love. With balmy sister Brenda (Julie Kavner, The Simpsons) and irrepressible mom Ida (Nancy Walker, Girl Crazy, Broadway Rhythm) by her side, Rhoda is back for one last bite of the Big Apple! In 2009 and 2010, the first 4 seasons of Rhoda were released on DVD by Shout! Factory...but then the releases stopped, with no set scheduled for the fifth and final season of the show. In 2011 a DVD producer for that studio revealed on the "Factory's" official message board how the hold-up was that Shout! had been unable to secure the home video rights for the last season. It's been "on hold" ever since. Now something has finally changed, because late yesterday Shout! Factory revealed that Rhoda - Season 5: The Final Season is coming to DVD at last! It will be in stores, in the USA and Canada, on August 15th. The 2-disc set with the concluding 13 episodes will cost $22.97 SRP, and cover art can be seen below. Our thanks to reader Jackson Burnett for the heads-up! The title is not listed at Amazon yet, but you can pre-order it from Shout!'s own online studio store. Here's a button link:
