Would You Consider 'Alice' A Truly Groundbreaking Sitcom? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Women were already being portrayed differently by the time Alice premiered in 1976. There was already 'That Girl' and 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show,' not to mention 'One Day At A Time.' So can Alice really be considered a groundbreaking or even important show in the Women's movement???

I don't know if I would call it groundbreaking, but 'Alice' had more of a working class feel to it than those other shows.

It was a little "grittier" than the other shows.
