The year of 1976, boy have the times changed. I wonder how much that increased by time 1985 came around.

Probably ALOT. I know they mentioned Mel's coffee went up to 35 cents in 1978-lol

Something else I noticed Diferent from the pilot is there was actually no open area when u looked out the window. In the pilot when u looked out the window u saw no open area, just a building across the street.

Wasn't the restaurant all decorated in Southwestern/cowboy motif in the pilot, or was it like that throughout the first season too?

Yeah, I noticed that too. There was also no STOREROOM. The backdoor just led outside, I guess. That was probably just a temporary set because I remember reading they didn't know if the pilot would do well or not. The second ep didn't air until a MONTH later-lol

I still think Flo should have been in the Finale

Definitely. I wish they would've mentioned her by name at least ONCE after she left in 1980. At least they showed clips with her. They didn't even show 1 clip with Belle-lol.

Yeah, the cowboy/SouthWestern look stayed in the first season (76-77), after that it got a little more modern(77-78) and then it ended up the way we remembered it for the rest of the series(78-85). BUT, in the first PILOT episode, the diner looked like a 50s style, with white booths and everything. Very old style-lol
