Mel's mother wasnt there so her annoying ass appeared so many times through out the years

I dont think it was mentioned what tommy was doing Im guessing he was college but when Alice said she was going to Nashville I figured she was going to take him since he was so young

Vera a mother??? Ah Na LOL

I was surprised to see clips of Flo since she never returned to the show


And I wonder was there an additional scene that followed when aired live on CBS after they all left Mel's diner for the last time:lol:

And I missed it 2 times already and been wanting to see it for years and years and always seems to miss it. This will now be the 3rd complete cycle on Antenna TV and a new one start tomorrow. Seems like a good episode and it airs right at dinner time.................7pm:)
It was a decent finale considering Seasons 8 and 9 were pure crap.

Im still debating on whether I should buy the individual dvd's and feel maybe its a chance a complete set comes out this year. But yes I cant wait to see it and was so pissed when I missed it this summer and was like.......I have to wait 5 more months lol

Alice JTS when Belle left and that annoying ass Jolene came about. I’m definitely not buying the Seasons 6-9 DVDs.

If it doesnt come out this year I will start buying them next year

I've got DVD recordings I made from ION/PAX years back. I keep waiting on a full-series set, too, because those IONs are so heavily edited, and I didn't get all the episodes, either.

Checking Antenna tomorrow night, the finale is the 16th episode of the season. Does anyone know why the shortened season?

I would like to know that myself. Season 1 and season 9 were the only seasons to end in march

I agree with you. I didn't care for Jolene either. By the time she came in, the show was already doing episode remakes of the Flo years. Season 8 is probably the worst because it's so out of order. One episode we see Vera married and then the next she's not and meeting her husband's partner for the first time in Vera The Horse Thief. I remember that episode confused the hell out of me because the partner was at their wedding. CBS didn't seem to care about this show after Jolene was added. I said this before, I do think Alice was just a show CBS could fill a time slot with because they didn't have anything better at the time to replace it with.

Jolene in IMO did what she is supposed to do, not steal the spotlight and stay in her lane:lol:

It’s a tie between Seasons 8 and 9 both seasons have a great lack in writing, Jolene and Vera and Elliot or “Velliot” ruin both, both seasons were tiring and repetitive, although Season 9 might win with “Mrs. Walden”. :rolleyes:

I got sick of hearing her extremely exaggerated and grating southern accent, and her randomly bringing up and boasting about her damn Granny Gums. And I thought the Flo’s accent was heavy. She was also boring and dull and just uninteresting half of the time, she was almost like Terri from TC personality wise except Jolene had a little more depth and character in her. She also lacked in the chemistry department the show was already healing with the loss of Flo in late Season 4 and and the recent departure of Belle, we didn’t need Jolene as a replacement. She didn’t have to necessarily steal the spotlight but she didn’t have to ruin it at the same time either. Belle and especially Flo were much better and way more tolerant.

I couldn’t see Vera as a mother either. She’d nearly suffocate the baby tripping on the baby cradle and would probably mess up the baby’s ENTIRE childhood with her dumbness and neuroticness. Elliot wouldn’t help either as he wasn’t too bright as well.

I was surprised to see clips of Flo as well ‘cause remember as soon as Belle got added and got credited into the intro they cut out the parts with Flo remember before there was a scene with Mel in his chef suit carrying a tray of “turkey” with Alice, Vera, and Flo on the side? After Flo left and Belle got added and got credited it was just Alice and Vera. LOL.

Elliot didnt seem too goofy in the finale, maybe I didnt see enough of him

I didn’t like him from the start. Not only was he ANOTHER annoying character and just totally goofy and dimwitted, Vera looked more like his MOTHER than his wife.

From what's on Amazon Prime, the final scene is on the closed sign after Mel locks the diner for the last time.

I think it's very telling there's no clips of Belle in the final episode. I don't know if that's because of the bad blood between Linda and Diane or if they felt fans wouldn't remember Belle because she was only there for like 22 episodes. There were two episodes with Belle I consider hits for the show. The one where Mel gets all the money from the ATM and the one where they're locked in the diner with watch dogs. Those two should have been highlighted in their memories.

I don't remember what Tommy was doing. He became so minor those last two or three seasons that his presence didn't matter anymore.

Well for some odd reason they had Vera's age in her late 20's when Alice first started. The episode Vera's Popcorn Romance from season 3 has Vera referred to as a 30 year old. Beth looked so old to pass for that age IMO. In real life Polly is only two years older than Beth. I don't understand why they wanted to adjust Beth's age like that in the show.

She looked over 30 when she appeared on Mary Tyler Moore and that was 3 years before Alice lol

It was probably because she didn’t age all that well and she was too old to be playing neurotic and dumb.

This is a good point, mustn't ruffle the queen's feathers!

I would have liked to know how much money Mel sold the diner for since he gave away $15,000 to the girls

I'm glad they included clips of Flo in the finale; she was a big part of the show's success, and the Flo years were the best of the series. She even got a still in the end credits. :)
