There was a female guest once who appeared in a few sitcoms of the time but I think was also a quiz show regular, Celebrity Squares, that kind of thing. Very attractive, brunette - I vaguely remember the episode she was in featured a scene in a cantina-style restaurant.
Any ideas?

Hard to know without a little more information about the episode....
======================
Thank God I'm here.
I know, sorry...the biggest clue about her is that as far as I can remember she was a regular on Hollywood Squares (is that what it was called in the US?). Brunette as well. She also popped up in other Seventies shows as the nice girlfriend, love interest etc.

Elinor Donahue (Miriam Welby, Felix's girlfriend in the building)?
Was it Oscar's girlfriend in the later seasons (Phyllis?)
I don't remember her ever being on Hollywood Squares though.
======================
Thank God I'm here.
Neither of those, sorry - she wasn't that much of a regular. I'll trawl through the episodes later and put us all out of our misery!

Was it Miss Charm School, the brunette Mitzi that Oscar set Felix up with when he (Oscar) was going out with Gloria, only to have Felix ask to switch dates at the restaurant when the ladies go to the sandbox? She was also on the Password episode, "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarium!"

That sounds promising, Shwap - I think she was in more than one episode. She was a regular in Seventies sitcoms. I'll have a look into that. Thanks.

Perhaps you're thinking of Barbara Rhoades?

Dumpbucket's got it, it was Barbara Rhoades!
(This is me with a new name, by the way)
Thanks man, I am about to dig out her two episodes and watch them. I've just seen her in The Goodbye Girl too.
Awight we're The Daamned we're a punk baand and this is called Carn't Be Appy T'day!
After seeing the reply, I bought a double disc set of Blacula and Scream Blacula Scream because Barbara was in the second one. The first one wasn't bad at all (and I had low expectations), haven't got round to watching Barbara's contribution yet!

Yeah, Barbara Rhoades was totally hot. My mom had a very good friend whose name was Barbara, also a redhead, she had that MILF thing going on! Really eased my passage through puberty, if ya know what I mean.
But I digress. Barbara Rhoades was the standard big-breasted hottie that 70s sitcoms would turn to. Loved her.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
I watched her in the episode I Gotta be Me yesterday, where she has a brief role as a fellow patient when Oscar and Felix go for counselling.
Oscar and Felix are told by the counsellor to wait next door as they are disrupting things. As they leave, Felix, (possibly an ad lib by Randall) mutters "You did it again! Thrown out of therapy - the ultimate humiliation!" at which Barbara cracks up, trying to hide her face by looking down at her lap. It's a really cute scene.
