Got the Alice DVD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I ordered the Alice DVD and got it yesteday. I have watched Flo's Farewell several times now, and I still get kinda choked up when I see Mel cry. I know that in real life he and Polly Holliday were very close. I remember watching it before, but now I know that it was caused by Linda Lavin's jealousy. It's sad to think that 4 years ended like that. The show was still good after Polly Holliday left, but it wasn't the same. I don't like that they never mention Flo again.

I agree. That was a sad episode. It's sadder now knowing that her show would not work out and she'd never be seen again. I did like that all of the eps chosen for the Best Of Dvd were WITH Flo. That should tell you something.

True. Flo and Mel always seemed to have an unspoken bond, if that makes any sense. It's really touching when she's getting ready to leave and he grabs her behind playfully---she turns around and yells:
"MELVIN SHARPLES!!!"

Mel: What?

Flo: (Smiling sadly at him for a few moments, and then quietly) : Kiss my grits . . . (walks away, as Mel sighs regrettably)

Maybe I will buy it too because I didn't know Flo Farewell's was on there. The Flo Farewell I have on Tape is EDITED and the Quality is a 3.5/10-lol

Yeah, the one I had was HORRRIBLE-just barely watchable. I'd gotten use to the "recorded" eps I had, and when I got this dvd it was so clear. It looked like a brand new show.

So it's 6 eps on there?

JAlanRuss72 · 01-21-2007, 01:22 AM

Yeah, they're all good episodes. All from 76-80. I wish they would have put the pilot episode on there, though. I'd like to see that one uncut.

I also got the Alice Favorites DVD and there should be more than 6 episodes on it. But there's enough good episodes on there to justify several seasons coming out on DVD not just 1.

I mean look at all the crappy shows you've never even heard that are already out on DVD!!!

WHAT ON EARTH IS HOLDING UP ALICE???

I'm looking forward to a possible Alice set release, but I'm glad they are putting out One Day at a Time.

I don't remember much about ONE DAY AT A TIME..I know my mom hated it (I was only 7 when the series started) so I never really got to watch it...might buy the DVD just to see it.
