This was the only animated production from MTM Enterprises ( although The Duck Factory -- a sitcom set in an animation production company -- included cartoon segments, and the closing credits of many MTM series included animated clothing and accessories superimposed on Mimsie the Cat ). The episode served as a pilot for a proposed weekly animated spin - off of Rhoda that was never picked up by CBS as a series. It originally aired as a `` CBS Special Presentation '' on May 21, 1980 and has never been rebroadcast.
