Valerie Harper sitcom of the 1970s (5)
I believe the answer is:
rhoda
'valerie harper sitcom of the 1970s' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for rhoda that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Fem. name; hoard (anag.)" , "Girl" , "Girl's name; hoard (anag.)" .)
