Running an amazing 9 seasons, from August 31st,1976 to July 2nd,1985 (including the series finale broadcast in the 3rd week of March of that year.) This series was based on the movie,"Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore". My memories of Alice are quite vivid. While it was not as serious as All In the Family or Maude, it made up for it by just being a great show to watch and laugh at for 30 mins. Standout episodes are: The pilot episode,Tommy's "sex-ed" episode, Vera thinks Geoge Burns really is God like in the movie, Belle, Flo's replacement, auditions for a sleazy nightclub owner,Alice disguises herself as a man,Telly Savalas drops in and many others but my all time favorite is,"Good Buddy Flo". Flo tries to impress her trucker boyfriend by having Alice teach her to drive a Semi. It ends (hilariously) in disaster when Flo accidently steps on the gas instead of the break and smashes dead-center through the front of Mel's Diner! That episode aired in Jan. 1980 and I still think it's their funniest if not their best! That's one reason I really loved and still love this show. It's also a small example of why Super70s TV rules. Keep on Truckin'!
