Do You Think 'Alice' Is A Little Too "Rural" To Enjoy Repeat Viewings? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

A friend complained that Alice was too "Country" to enjoy. Is it too Country or rural to enjoy? Does Alice hold up for repeat viewings?

I have never seen any cows on Alice so I would have to say No! to it being a rural/country sit-com.
I want Alice on DVD from 1976-1980

I don't think it was too rural, unless you count rural Phoenix as being farm country.

I do, however, agree that it doesn't hold up that well in syndication, particularly the later seasons. I watched it for several years when I was young but to be very honest it had a sweetheart time slot on CBS Sunday nights, and had there been anything better on I doubt I would have made it part of my regular schedule.
