In the article above, Vic Tayback talks about his frustrations with the show during the first season. Different writers, producers and directors were all used and there were reshoots but nobody let Vic in on why they were reshooting scenes. He was totally confused as to what the show was. He wasn't even sure the show was a sitcom.

Even mel shaples taught tommy how to cook on the episode of alice, does anyone have that video?

Linda Lavin and Diane Ladd feuded too that drove Diane off the show. The show was never the same after Linda's behavior towards Polly Holliday and Diane Ladd. You can see the tension between Linda and Polly in her final season on the show the way Linda rolls her eyes at her.

I only saw that episode once, and it was a loooooooooong time ago. But I still remember that scene!!! Just priceless. :cool: :D

magellan333 05-22-2011, 10:09 PM That's too bad for Vic Tayback. He was the best part of the show.

He should have have a spinoff of alice after the show left the airwaves 26 years ago.

LOL..he didn't know it was sitcom??
That may have actually helped him play the goofy cook!

Hi. Albeit VHS quality, I might have the episode you want. I just don't know what the title is or how to find out :(

Upload it to youtube
it's called after mel's gone.
takearushfan 10-03-2011, 09:51 PM I do have it. It looks and sounds pretty darn bad, but I'll upload it anyway. If anyone's interested in Alice videos on Youtube, I'm pretty much the only one that posts the full episodes, username: "fenjazszc07".
