Linda Lavin can't sing! Did nobody on the show tell her that? Also, although I never watched this show (too young at the time), anybody who did watch it feels that Flo, not Alice, was the true star.
is "alice" the longest-running tv series based on a feature-length film? the only contender i can think of is "happy days," but that wasn't really based on "american graffiti."
"is 'alice' the longest-running tv series based on a feature-length film? the only contender i can think of is 'happy days,' but that wasn't really based on 'american graffiti.'"
Well, there's M*A*S*H. Ran for 11 seasons. "Alice" ran for 9.
I was just a very little kid when this show was on the first time around but we ( my brother and i ) used to watch it in reruns all the time, the theme song sticks out well in my head.
Linda Lavin used to "add" inflections to her singing such as "kickin' myself for nothin'" and at 00:42 "stand on your own two feet." I don't know why she did that, either. Every season she'd redo the intro song; maybe she didn't like it, either.
@drescorpio1114 I used to watch a lot of sitcoms in the 80s when I was a kid and I think most sitcoms today aren't as funny.... but I recommend giving a new one a try. "2 Broke Girls" on CBS. That show's pretty funny without taking itself too serious.
@SanDiegoSouth late 60's - early 80's was the best time for TV sitcoms and TV in general. Good shows today are few & far between. As far as sitcoms, IMO Everybody Loves Raymond was the last decent one. There's a few good dramas/action. Burn Notice is good, Walking Dead is good, Breaking Bad is almost......too good for TV!...what else? Sponge Bob! LOL Seriously...I love it. But the original & not the newer episodes as much. There's some great shows on Adult Swim. ATHF, Venture Bros., etc.
@ crassyfrake Listening to her singing now, removed all these years, she is *really* over selling it and sounds terrible, lol. I guess there is something to having the lead character singing about moving on it that lends some authenticity, but ouch.
This was the season with Belle! "Give me some sugar and ring my bells!" LMAO! Does anyone remember the episode when she became a country singer and wrote a song called "Uncle Bud?"
Flo was whole show,after Polly Holliday left the show was never quite the same,Polly left Alice because she wanted her own show "Flo" she owned a bar in that show called Flo's Yellow Rose,I think Flo lasted 1 season if that
@delideliver Your right, Flo {Florence Jean Castleberry} was my favorite in the show. When she left the show it was like losing a member of your family. Then they tried to replace her with the lady who played Flo's part from the movie "Alice". But it just wasn't the same. I felt the quality of the shows started to go down hill. The characters never grew or developed like they did on MTM. And i just stopped watching it from that point on.
@Buffalobigboy69 I agree,they got Belle(Diane Ladd) but no body liked her and she did not last long at all
I guess it was in Polly's contract that she could not come back to Alice if her show flopped,they did the same thing on 3's company when the Ropers wanted their own spin off,the agreement was if the show did not make 1 season they could come back,if it made it more than a season,the could;nt,of course it made it 1 season and got canned right after that
@softshu Wow yes I remember that too,...It was during the mornings or early noons during the weekdays back then thats right!! You have a good memory!!! I was so young, a little kid back then...
I found out that the show is based around here in my neighborhood. The actual Mel's Diner is located just down the street from me. The sign and the outside of the diner was used for exterior shots. The diner is still open and I took my mom there for breakfast for Mother's Day. They have pictures of the cast everywhere. Great food! The hotel where Alice lived, The Desert Sun, is down the street from me also. It burned down about 5 or 6 years ago. So if your ever in Phoenix check it out!
I am not sure what you mean about her being a Jew being controled. I also have no idea what Linda being a Jew had to do with her part on this show. Care to explain?
From what you wrote, it is my understanding that a reunion show was never done because Linda demanded more money than the studio was willing to pay her. Now are you saying that it was because she was Jewish that she was money-hungry and that is why she would not do it?
I happen to be Jewish and I do not take kindly to this attitude! But I guess that there is really nothing that I can do about it being that you are protected by the Freedom of the Press Amendment. Oh well!
During the fourth season of the series, this opening was aired on the final six episodes of the season, aired Sundays, March 2-April 6, 1980 (leap year version).
mels diner was closed today due to roach infestation.......................tommy filed for divorce from his sister nancy mckeaon now the whole world is fucked!
Alice is one of the best sitcoms ever...I can't believe they haven't done DVDs yet. The "Belle" season was the last decent one though....the Jolene years just didn't cut it.
Personally I think that this was just one of many shows that programmed a portion of my generation into excepting the cooked food lifestyle.But I have to admit that I liked this show as a kid.
OMG i remember this show like it was yesterday. I haven't seen it on tv in ages, but remember it vividly. back in the day when there weren't 300 channels. great show.
@bronzesel linda lavin found a career on broadway. Vic Tayback passed away several years. Diane Ladd can still be seen in movies from time to time. Phillip McKeon is now a major hollywood producer (he's 44 now btw), Polly Holliday occassionally appears in movies in bit parts and as for Beth Howland, as far as I know she simply retired.
@bronzesel -As far as I know, Linda Lavin still tours, in her mid-70s, for crying out loud! Vic Tayback died 20 years ago, and I don't know what happened to the othe 2 main characters.....try Wikipedia
No doubt. TV and music will NEVER be this good again. I'm glad I got to enjoy them. I feel bad for teens today and the shit they have to watch and listen to.
Ha ha!!! Calm yourself down Linda Lavin...."kickin myself fo' nothin" Yeah - sounds like she's driving and reaching into the backseat of the car to slap her kid around!
Fuck, this takes me all the way back to being a kid....I remember my dad coming home from work with a silver colored watch on and this was on. Crazy, the things that ignite memory.
This is the 1980-'81 opening title, after Polly Holliday had left for her own series, "FLO" (which barely lasted a season and a half). Diane Ladd tried to replace her as "Belle", but it just didn't work out. So Celia Weston replaced HER as "Jolene" in '81, and stayed for the rest of the series.
This has bugged us for the last 4 days while on holiday in Majorca, you can't imagine the relief of getting home and looking it up, we loved this programme! :D
@vette9093 I did too. The Jeffersons, All in the family, Threes company, Happy Days Bob Newhart, Mary tyler Moore....etc. Those were good shows back then, made you laugh.........Yea, 3 channelss +uhf. Played outside, had to be home before the street lights came on.
Loved this show, watched reruns on weekday mornings when I was on summer vacation. Wish I could relive those days.

This is the 1980-'81 opening title, after Polly Holliday had left for her own series, "FLO" (which barely lasted a season and a half). Diane Ladd tried to replace her as "Belle", but it just didn't work out. So Celia Weston replaced HER as "Jolene" in '81, and stayed for the rest of the series.
