Judging by the previous 4 seasons release dates, we could possibly see season 5 released in March 2014. Any thoughts or info on this?

Season 1: June 12, 2012
Season 2: October 23, 2012
Season 3: March 19, 2013
Season 4: October 22, 2013

That sounds about right. I have been pacing myself with S4 watching only one or two episodes on Sunday nights (followed by an episode of FLO). I just finished "Good Buddy Flo" last week.

Season 5 has been set for a March/April release. As soon as I hear a definite date I'll let everyone know. Warner has full intensions of releasing the full seasons. Seasons 5 and 6 will be released this year with the last seasons coming in 2015.

I wish Warner Archive released more TV shows. They seem to get at least 2 seasons out a year and they don't just release one season then quit.

Hopefully we'll see "Growing Pains" season 4 soon!

Me too but unfortunately the rest of the WB shows I want have music issues.

Good news about Alice though. I was worried since the later seasons have music issues also. I guess it's selling well enough for them to afford to clear those. I think Growing Pains S4 will come out soon as well.

Warner's has a limited amount of staff working on the projects. Although they are making money off if them it's not enough to employ more staff, at least that is how it was explained to me.

I think they're doing a great job! Whatever they're doing, I hope they keep it up!

Good. I will be buying it release day.

Good to hear!

I was worried a little. I know this has happened with some shows in that they get a couple of seasons released then they just quit! And since there are 202 episodes and 9 seasons, I fear that it will take forever for the entire series to be released. Too bad they don't just release "Alice the complete series" so we don't have to wait.

I have bootlegged copies I bought a long time ago from someone online and they are OK.........but some of the quality is awful .....I will buy ALL the season of Alice too :) One of my favorite 70s/80s sitcoms. Such a feel good show.

They've been releasing 2 seasons a year so it shouldn't take too much longer to complete the series.

Estimated schedule:
Seasons 5 & 6: 2014
Seasons 7 & 8: 2015
Season 9: 2016

It's already April 2014, something went wrong there.

This was asked on their Facebook page about a month ago and their response was "No estimated time" for S5 of ALICE. Maybe the music issues need to be worked out. There are some with the Robert Goulet season-opener and I am not sure about "The Jerry Reed Fish Story". It has been nearly 25 years since I have seen most of these. I know S6 also has a few issues too.

Come on Fans keep buying so the DVD releases can keep coming and I can buy the series release in 2016 LOL

I'm just grateful they released seasons 1 through 4. These were the golden years of Alice. When Polly Holiday left the show it was over for me. I do hope they continue to release more seasons, but for me it wouldn't matter too much since I have all of Alice on vhs.

All of ALice on VHS from where? CBS?

I too have all the Belle and Jolene seasons on VHS, but they were recorded nearly 25 years ago and in SLP mode (before I knew better) so they are not as clear as the DVDs are. I would gladly buy every season if WA releases them, even though Seasons 7-9 are not the greatest.

I have the ION version of this show. It was heavily edited but the quality is good.

The real idiot is someone who would keep ION episodes of Alice



Do me a favor and leave the site:wave:

The ION episodes WERE HORRIBLY edited.........

I had purchased the TNN episodes from someone and there were a lot of bad quality episodes in the middle of the series run.......So I recorded those bad quality TNN episodes from ION.......I compared them to ION and I couldn't believe the sht ION cut out!

So one week I was bored and I used a video editor to use the good quality ION episodes and I put in the scenes that ION edited out, back in.....

I don't think the TNN episodes were heavily edited at all....(just a very little) because the sped up the show instead of editing it.

Still, I wish they would release season 5 already! That was the worst season (quality wise) of the TNN episodes I purchased from someone.

E! did the same thing in the late '90s so the editing was just as bad. I could stand that better than the time-sped episodes on TNN. I only watched episode 1 on TNN because I couldn't stand seeing the characters bounce around like Mexican jumping beans.

well it's just good to know that ALice never has to be in cable again since it should be complete on DVD by 2016

Where is season 5? WarnerArchive has been bad this year I think, releasing a lot of garbage. Where's the good stuff? Hope they haven't given up on Alice...

yeah they were on a nice release pace now it seemed to have slowed up

I prefer the time-sped episodes on TNN. Why? Because the quality wasn't bad of the ones I have and I can slow down the 4 to 5 % speed increase converting them to mp4 and putting them on my external hard drive......At least with the speed increase you don't get the massive edits you did with the ion or E episodes.

I keep wondering why I haven't gotten a notification of season 5 being released because folks seemed to think it would have been released by now. Of all the season I have, quality-wise, season 5 is the WORST! So I'm really wanting season 5 to be released.

Because season 4 didn't sell that well

I keep wondering why I haven't gotten a notification of season 5 being released because folks seemed to think it would have been released by now.

Seems like I read somewhere that the reason for the delay is because Warner Archive has taken on more projects and it's taking longer to get things released now.

I had a feeling months ago that this would happen. They would just stop releasing seasons. Oh well! At least the Flo seasons are released. It's really hilarious that they have no problem pumping out entire series of TV shows that have music in them, but the ones I want seem to take a lifetime.

I wonder if some of the seasons didn't sell that well because the prices are so high compared to other series. Almost 30 dollars for a season?? No wonder!

Oh, and about the ION episodes being of bad quality. I have DirecTV when I recorded them with my DVR, and I absolutely do not notice the quality being bad at all. I would have noticed if it were that bad. It wasn't blurry at all. Strange that some of you had those problems. I don't get that. I just wish they weren't as edited as they were.

I still say it was dumb to release FLO and the series is not complete

I do want to see the rest of the series released but I'm kind of glad they've put it on hiatus for now. There's so many other sets that I want to buy now and I can't afford them all at the same time. Everything seems to be getting released at the same time this year.

Yeah I know what you mean, WBK, Jeffersons, and AITF. I would love all of them but Can't be shelling out $600 for TV shows when I need more important things. I will be paying for the Jeffersons lol

I found out that the reason this series is so freaking expensive is because they are manufactured on demand. You would almost think that would make them less expensive since the DVD's themselves aren't pressed. Sure, it's not mass-produced but my question is WHY? What makes this series any different from most of the other series that are mass-produced. I don't get it. You have to really search DEEP in the darkest pits of the internet to find each season for under 20 dollars, and even then, it's rare to find.....I mean, it's no wonder they aren't selling the way they would have hoped at those prices. I mean, I bought them, but I think it would harm potential sales. I'm so sick of waiting on this show.

You would almost think that would make them less expensive since the DVD's themselves aren't pressed.
Actually, if you order within a reasonable timeframe of the release date, you do receive pressed DVDs. I have seasons 1-4 and the complete series of "Flo" and all of my DVDs are pressed. I ordered direct from Warner Archive.

I get that. I guess it's just odd to me that Alice (a top 10 sitcom for almost 10 years) isn't mass produced and instead is released ON DEMAND on DVD-R (unless you buy early), while the other equally, or sometimes much less popular shows are pressed whether you buy them early or years later.

Oh well.

Does anyone think this will be a case where Warner stops and ultimately a company like Shout Factory will release the entire series?


Hopefully not.

I was surprised because they were being released at a fast pace especially when Flo was released

The more I think about it, perhaps they did just intend on releasing the "FLO" episodes of Alice and that's why they stopped. Maybe they figure that's the episodes most people want? I dunno.

I think it was stupid for them to release FLO before the entire series. As my stepdad used to say

A$$Backwards

The Flo seasons are my favorites but I'd still like to see all the seasons released. Some of the other seasons I have never seen before and it would be a treat.

FLO was the dumbest dvd release of all time

I am sure WB will bring season 5 in 2015 or right before it starts. WB is known to surprise us with Alice releases with no notice at all..lol.

Where are the other seasons??????????

When asked on their Facebook page, they have been responding with the standard 'no plans at this time' about S5 for the past year. Two years ago, they were raving about the 'unprecedented response' [to the earlier seasons] and seemed excited to be announcing each upcoming release.

Obviously season 3 and 4 didn't sell well along with Flo which is why there is no rush to bring out season 5

Probably because they are so freaking expensive because they are on demand!!

Nobody here has evidence that S4 or Flo sold poorly. A recent query on Facebook yielded this response from Warner Archive regarding Season 5:

"Nothing today, but please trust that we're working on it. Thanks."

Woohoo!

Probably because they are so freaking expensive because they are on demand!!
Actually, when they're released they're pressed DVDs and sell for roughly $30 which is about the price of any new movie or TV show on DVD release.

You'd think with all the recent great releases from Shout that WB would release Season 5 in December or January.

In a way I kinda wish Shout! Factory could've gotten the rights to this show and we could've had the complete series released all at once. But then again I kinda like having something to look forward to and speculate when the next season will release.

At one point when the first few releases were out, someone here (who sounded like an insider) stated Warner Archive had plans on releasing the entire series. That's why I was surprised when things slowed down. I can't believe sales were THAT bad for Season 4 that they would stop.

I don't really think the slow down has anything to do with sales of the previous seasons. I think they've just taken more on than they had originally planned. They also may have ran into a music problem---there may have been a song in season 5 that is taking some time and money to clear. I personally can wait and I hope they take their time and do the series justice.

Yes, you are right. There is a two-parter in Vegas where Alice impersonates Robert Goulet as well as "The Jerry Reed Fish Story" episode, so there are music issues. It's been so long since I've seen these episodes though I can't recall which songs are used. I will have to dig out my old VHS tapes one of these days.

I just received my season 4 and my next purchase plan will be the entire season of FLO. Dont kn ow if I want to continue after this season, I'm on the last disk now with the new Belle....not sure if I like her yet or not.

I LOVE MEL'S DINER!!!

Still can't believe they released FLO before the series of Alice was released

I guess I'm OK if they don't release any more ALICE, I feel like I have all the episodes that I truly enjoyed. After Flo left, it never felt the same anyway. Bell was not too bad, but she didn't last too long and the episodes just seemed like they started to struggle.

I want to see ALL the episodes even with Belle and with Jolene.

It's been so long since I've seen these episodes though I can't recall which songs are used. I will have to dig out my old VHS tapes one of these days.

Let's see. Since I have all my TV shows on a 2 tb hard drive with a media player for easy access to watch on my TV, I've very recently watched these episodes. I can't think of any SONG other than Belle singing a song she made up "Uncle bub's got cotton, Uncle Bub's got corn, Uncle Bub's got chicken they never been born, Ouww AHHH...

And in the Vegas episode, Alice and Robert Goulet sang a song, but it wasn't the official release they sang and I don't believe it was even a full song.

Honestly, I don't think that's the reason. I just think they wanted to release the Flo seasons of Alice then that's it. I think the only way the rest of the seasons are released is if Time-Life releases them like they have other series' that were half released.

Here's the latest comment from Warner's Facebook page:

We want to complete the series, but there are some issues we need to resolve before we can continue. We haven't given up on ALICE, but we have nothing to report at the moment. Thanks

Someone should ask why they released the spinoff before the series was complete

They released it because it was already available as a digital download on Amazon and felt that the timing was right since Flo left in Season 4. I am grateful they made it available when they did right after they released the fourth season.

I wonder what the issues are??

It makes sense chronologically, though. Flo was on TV after season 4 of Alice. Especially since Flo is such a rare/obscure show in the land of TV series, I think it's nice for the fans of that short little show that they released it.

I wonder what the issues are??
There are music issues in both Seasons 5 and 6. The Vegas episode has Alice singing with Robert Goulet, and then there's "The Jerry Reed Fish Story".

In Season 6, Alice and the Acorns (her old high school singing group) perform "At the Hop".

No doubt, the issues are probably due to music rights. I don't care how long it takes as long as they eventually get the issues resolved and release the episodes unaltered. WB is usually great at getting and paying for music rights. Can't wait for all the seasons to finally be released...I'll order them all on day one!

Whatever the issues are...I'm just happy to hear something and not be left hanging with no news at all.

Well IOLA (LOL) I disagree on how long it takes because we're never promised a tomorrow! Life is so short......Like I said, I have all the episodes, but season 5 through 9 are horrible to watch after watching the DVD crisp seasons

Oh I completely agree with you that life is short and we're never promised a tomorrow but look at it this way...if you/we're not here tomorrow then whether or not "Alice" is released on DVD will not matter at all.

Any updates from Warner? This is starting to get ridiculous already! There is only so many times that you can watch the first four seasons over & over before it becomes tiresome.
We need some fresh new episodes already! Warner give us Season 5 & 6 already! It's long overdue!!

Have we had ANY new news about "Alice" lately? I wish WAC would start releasing more seasons! This really needs to be completed!

NOPE. Guess the first 4 seasons failed in getting sales

WB has stated before that season 5 had a few music issues but they were working on it.

The reason season 5 isn't out has NOTHING to do with the sales of seasons 1-4.

You just keep waiting big time because the last release was in October of 2013. So couldn't have just edited the music out if the show was selling well on DVD? Talk to me lol

Then people would complain about the music edits.

I don't mind waiting for an awesome release with the music included.

I think at this point Alice fans would not even care about edits since the show is not available anywhere in syndication, youtube, or the trading community.

Are you an Alice fan?

Sounds good to me. I just hope we see at least two more seasons by 2017. At least they are starting to work on "FM" so hopefully"Alice" is next. I kinda wish that Shout! or StarVista had taken it from the beginning and released a complete series set. At least then we would have it all. Personally, I want a complete series of "Diff'rent Strokes" next

Of course and I don't even care if the show is edited on DVD because it's a show that is lost from the 70's

I think Shout! will eventually release a complete series set of "DS". It seems to be high on the list of wanted titles for a series set. And it also doesn't hurt that Shout! has already released seasons 3 and 4, so they do own some of the rights to the show.

It's my most-wanted series so hopefully it does happen. I also really want "Rhoda" and "One Day at a Time."

I've always wondered this: if you order Warner's MOD titles on Amazon, you don't get pressed discs? What do you get?

Amazon uses DVD-R discs.

If you order from WBshop.com, they use actual pressed discs for the initial run, then they begin to use DVD-R discs. So, if you want pressed discs, order within the first few months of release date from WBshop.com.

Maybe he/she doesn't have that option or simply doesn't want edited versions.

Rhoda only has 1 season remaining to be released but it may never be released since season 5 was only a half of season
Season 6 of "Mister Ed" was only 13 episodes and it finally made it to DVD, so there's still some hope for "Rhoda"'s final season.

There is no more hope, season 4 was released almost 6 years ago

Plus it was stated that Shout can't get the rights for the final season so that's it

Be careful with that electric foot soaker....hope it doesn't electrocute you.

So, you still get case and artwork right? And the discs aren't double sided? I don't really care about artwork on discs if that is what pressed discs mean.

Yes, you still get artwork and case.

I don't need the bubbles action so I won't probably plug it in. But I have the option that Alice didn't in 1976

Putting both feet in the one thing instead of one foot in separate pots lol

So. .. basically burned DVDs don't last as long as pressed? Do burned DVDs still come with artwork on the discs? That's really all I wanted to know...

Just out of curiosity, how many MOD sets do you guys own? I own none lol

Yes, the Alice seasons do have artwork.

On the discs?

Yes

Ok then!

I've also seen Warner Archive releases on Walmart, Target, Barnes and Noble, and Best Buy websites but I don't know what kind of discs they used. The only MOD I have is the Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, and I got directly from Warner Archive back in January 2013 about two months after it was released and my discs were pressed.

I don't plan on getting Alice unless they release all the seasons. However, I do remember seeing Seasons 1 and 2 at a local store here in Memphis called Spin Street, which is owned by FYE, sometime back in 2013. Has anyone else here ever seen any Warner MOD titles in a store?

I kind of see your point. Why get season 5 only to wait 4 more years for season 6?

That's why I decided not to buy anymore seasons of the Jeffersons because it was too big of a gap ibn between releases

The sales of Seasons 1 - 4 did not met Warner's expectations and Flo (according to them) only shipped 400 units (box sets). They decided the fan base would only want the seasons with Flo and killed any chances of re-issuing the other seasons. According to Warner, there is still no plan for any further Alice seasons. The only chance is if Shout! Factory or other reissue labels get permission to continue to series (and don't hold your breath Warner is notoriously stingy with their material).

It isn't the sales. They said so. They are going to release Season 5 but clearance issues still have to be solved.

The only chance is if Shout! Factory or other reissue labels get permission to continue to series (and don't hold your breath Warner is notoriously stingy with their material).


If season 4 was Flo's last season then we may never see season 5

We will. I am sure of it. WB is working on it

I wonder what Linda Lavin thinks of this? Nearly 40 years after her allegedly having Polly taken off the show and out of her spotlight, the only DVDs of Alice available are, ironically, the Flo seasons. On top of that, Flo's own complete series is on DVD, while the rest of Alice is in limbo. So we have all of Polly's performances as Flo available for home viewing, but not even half of Linda's series. Hmm, some may ask, "Karma, Linda?"...

I don't think a spinoff should be released until the parent show is complete on DVD

FLO the series was never as well-written as ALICE nor as populated with as many likeable characters with which ALICE was blessed. Speculating that future seasons of ALICE would sell poorly based on the weak sales of FLO is like saying that future HAPPY DAYS sets would not sell well because JOANIE LOVES CHACHI only moved xxx number of units.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but no WB is not working on it. They have almost ceased production on TV shows, now the mainly focus on older movies. I got this straight from Warner's marketing department. Alice (the project) was cancelled two years ago.

Well that's it then, my only hope now is ION:lol:

I guess I'll never see this show now unless a homemade set somehow miraculously appears on ioffer. I'm not going to buy a show that's incomplete. I wish MeTV would get this.

Seasons 1-4 are well worth buying. Don't wait for the others. Buy these seasons now.

I still think something is in the works for this series. I could be wrong but I have a feeling about it.

Yeah. I seriously need to get this show. I would love to see it.

I wish Shout would just get the rights and put out the Complete Series. About two years ago, they did state it was an interesting possibility should they choose to pursue it. Shout would certainly have an easier time of getting around those music clearances from the Belle and Jolene years. But that may cut into WA's sales of the Flo era discs, so I'm not sure it would happen.

Feels more like a Antenna TV show

It might be, but it's owned by WB, so it'd probably go to MeTV

Listen to tlc38tlc38. The best is already available. Why avoid buying the "classic era" of a TV show just because the later mediocre seasons aren't available? That's not to say they're not good or entertaining, but this show was created with Flo, so these 4 seasons (well, 3 2/3, technically) are the "meat" of the series, the golden era. I have the first 4 DVD sets and I haven't even watched the last 1/3 of the shows on season 4 after Flo leaves because I only cared about having "the Flo years" on DVD.

the only chance is if someone like Shout! Factory acquires the rights and hopefully Warner will stop being so damn stingy and allow for it to be licensed to someone who can do it. Originally the same happened to Maude, Jeffersons and Facts of Life. Shout! Factory bought distribution rights and completed the season releases. I don't get why they are holding onto it since they have no interest in completing the seasons or even showing it on TV.

We can all hope that WB will stop being stingy with "Alice" and license it to Shout! so they can release a proper complete series set that ISN'T MOD.
Other WB shows I'd like to see:
Chico and the Man
It's a Living
Murphy Brown (Seasons 2-10)
Perfect Strangers
... WB probably has the least amount of shows I want.

Shout! has released WB shows before like "Welcome Back, Kotter", "Sisters" and "Norm". I can't really think of others but StarVista/Time-Life has released "Mama's Family" & "China Beach". Hopefully one day one of them will get the license to release a complete series of "Alice." Sad it isn't complete.

I keep thinking of how Shout! would be a good pick for the complete series of "Alice." WB, please let it go and license it to Shout!

I seriously got tired of waiting for DVDs... I found a trader who has the series recorded from TNN. The screenshots
Look pretty good. Can't wait to watch seasons 5-9!

^^Where did you get that set?

Tvshows12.yuku.com

I've got from this trader before and they have good stuff.

Saw it. I wonder if they are unedited or syndicated copies.

Either way they look better than what's on Dailymotion.

Id say they're edited for more commercial time but something is better than nothing considering I've never seen seasons 5-9 and I really want to.

Yeah, but you would buy official releases, right?

@tlc38tlc38, I'd be interested in hearing how you like the dvds once you receive them. They have other series I am interested in. :)

Antenna is adding Alice, they said, but no air date yet. I suspect late next year. I hope they don't crunch Alice and edit it too badly.

Yeah, but you would buy official releases, right?
Of course I'd buy official releases if they come.

I can't post screenshots but I will try to give a simple review of the set once I get it.

I have also got "Major Dad" and "Silver Spoons" sets from this trader and they are both awesome. Quality is about a 9 out of 10.

I can't stand the time-sped episodes from TNN. The herky-jerky motion everytime someone walks across the set just gives me a headache. I will wait for Antenna's airings. TNN's were badly edited anyway, but not as bad as when E! aired the show.

There is no guarantee that Antennna TV is picking up Alice.

Yes there is. The blog said so.

Until the blog puts a set date I don't believe it

I guess you are a stupid, pathetic little man then :lol:

I don't know why you care, as you've gone on record trashing Antenna for basically everything they've done even if you like a show. You are a very confusing drama starter.

I heard it may come to TV Land in 2024

He is a sad, pathetic man guys. :lol:

I heard the spinoff flo is coming to CBS in 2035

I think I'll be content with seasons 5-9 in any way that I can get them. I really want to see these episodes...for the first time!

Of course, when/if they're released officially I will buy them in a heartbeat.

I heard it may come to TV Land in 2024
HAHA you are so funny :lol: :lol:

I received my DVD set today.

I'm pretty satisfied with it. I didn't check out any of seasons 1-4 seeing as I already own them on DVD. I checked a few episodes from seasons 5-9...it's a mix bag of picture and sound quality. Some episodes are bad VHS copy transfers with sped up sound in certain parts. Some episodes are pretty good.

I'm happy and content with what I've been given until something better comes along. I'm just pleased I'm finally able to see these rare seasons!

I'm passing on that homemade set.

I know when Antenna airs Alice, they'll crunch it and use the 22 minute syndicated versions, but hopefully the CLEAN edited versions where you can't tell much is missing.

Hopefully WAC works on Alice soon!

Antenna's airing Alice in 2017!

Actually- I don't think TNN edited anything out - that's why they sped them up. If they did edit, it was very, very little.
If you have video editing software, you take the TNN copies, and slow them down, back to their normal speed.
