I remember how excited I was when ION started airing Alice. I DVR'ed the episodes because of my work schedule. When I go to watch them, they cut out crucial scenes that caused the story to not make sense. They also had the animated on screen ads that were distracting the viewers from the show. Then I noticed they added like two places in the episode for additional commercial breaks. We would have a minute or two of the episode and then boom commercial break. Come back for 6 minutes and another commercial break. It was like Alice was the commercial break for their commercials. I couldn't believe how awful that channel was to this show and ruining the series from having potential new fans. I stopped watching that channel after that and it wasn't too long after that I disconnected cable because DVDs are the only way to watch reruns of shows. You avoid mistreatment that channels like ION does to TV shows.

ION doesn't air sitcoms anymore which is a good thing. That 2007 debut of Alice was a disaster lol

I don’t think Logo gave it new life. Tried to watch them on logo once and they were running 18-19 minutes long. I have most of the DVD’s that were released I will stick to those and if I want to watch them on TV I will on Antenna TV.

Seasons 7 and 8 have been out for awhile and Season 9 is now available for pre-order. It ships March 12 so the show is now complete!

I like all the seasons but Flo still holds a special place in my heart.

Antenna TV I think also runs Alice uncut.
