at least it's better than 98% percent of the reality show nonsense on tv since 1992 (Thanks a lot the real world)

Amen to that. I'll take ALICE over that garbage any day!

Mr. Television · 07-25-2005, 11:19 PM

Alice was one of the best sitcoms ever.

to each their own - you have a right to an opinion, but it is usually considered in poor taste to go to a show's board just to trash it...

When I was reading the other posts in this thread, I realized I was kind of a luke-warm fan of the show: I remember liking it and watching it quite a bit, but I would never have told someone I couldn't go somewhere because it was coming on. If it came on TVLand today I'd watch it, but I have no plans to buy the DVD if it comes out.

But as you say, to each his/her own. I think it's great that Alice has a meeting place for its devoted fans. More power to you! I hope you're able to get your show released on DVD----it's a true fan's dream come true.

Alice was good...at least the Flo years.

seventies_sitcoms · 07-31-2005, 11:54 AM

Alice was great show to watch if you were a kid growing up in the 70's and early 80's. I still think it is a good show today for kids to watch if you could find it. I always used to wish that I could have one of those big jelly donuts from under that case that sat on the countertop!

True, the Flo years were best. Diane Ladd was a pretty good substitute, but it was rather unlucky that Linda Lavin chose to make working conditions bad and it made Ladd abandon the show. Jolene was annoying most of the time.

Brian Damage · 07-31-2005, 11:57 AM

Jolene was the worst.

In hundreds of these boards, people trash this or that star on a show, how is this different? Anyway i didnt say it was horrible, just not very good , and it wasnt when compared to M*A*S*H, All in the Family, Happy Days, or I love Lucy, for example....basically it wasnt the worst sitcom or the best, just very middle of the pack, admittedly, it would probably fair pretty well, quality-wise compared to the crapcoms of today!

Ironic, since Dianne Ladd created Flo in the movie, maybe they should have let her BE Flo, rather than create a new character, what do you think?

I agree. It wasn't a bad show afterwards, but it wasn't the same, either. They should have kept the cast as it was, but the networks were spinoff-happy back then. As soon as any show became a hit, they looked to take it apart and populate empty spots in their schedules.

yes, people are constantly trashing actors and shows, and it is generally ignored - up to a point, at least until someone complains about it.

however if you look at Sitcom's Online's rules it states pretty clearly that you should NOT go to a show's board just to trash it.

8. Don't go to another board to post only negative messages.

Surely you can understand how going to the home for any given show and just saying its "no good" or "crap" is not going to ingratiate yourself to the fans of that show (or actor - I am still a little irked by your attacks on Tom Hanks and Bosom Buddies) and only serves to stir up trouble. If you have some legitimate point to make or a valid topic of discussion to start then fine, but simply stating that a show is "poor", "mediocre" or some other insult really isnt very constructive.

You don't like the show, fine - i can understand that, but WHY don't you like it? Give me some reasoning behind your opinion rather than just a blatant putdown.

I have never personally liked M.A.S.H. - I just found it too depressing and have never really liked Alan Alda or anything in a war setting. The difference is that I would never say that it is a bad show, its just not to my taste.
