Unseen but Unforgettable: A Clue to a ‘Rhoda’ Mystery
Ah, the joy of a good crossword puzzle! The satisfying click of the pencil, the thrill of a perfectly placed word, the rush of a completed grid. But sometimes, even the most seasoned solver gets stumped. This week, we’re tackling a clue that’s got me scratching my head, sending me back to the days of the 1970s and a certain sitcom that brought laughter into millions of living rooms.
The clue? “
Unseen doorman on the 1974-1979 sitcom Rhoda
.”
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Rhoda? That show about the plucky New Yorker?” And you’d be right! But this clue isn’t about the titular character, nor her eccentric family. It’s about someone who remained unseen throughout the show’s run, a silent presence whose existence we were led to believe through dialogue and, perhaps, a well-placed door slam.
This isn’t the first time a crossword clue has taken us on a trip down memory lane. We’ve seen clues referencing vintage movies, obscure historical figures, and even forgotten pop culture phenomena. But this particular clue, with its focus on a character who never actually appeared on screen, is truly unique. It’s a testament to the writers’ ability to create a fully-fleshed out world, even if it existed mostly in the realm of the implied.
So, join me on this journey into the annals of television history as we attempt to crack this perplexing clue. I’ll be digging through old episodes, searching for hidden clues, and relying on the wisdom of the internet.
Stay tuned, dear solvers, for the solution to this intriguing puzzle, and remember, sometimes the most elusive answers are the ones that are right in front of us, waiting to be discovered.
