Hopefully, if you are a fan of the classic Linda Lavin series "Alice", then you are enjoying Alice - The Complete First Season on DVD. But if you were excited about that release, then you'll be even more excited to learn that more "Alice" will be making it to DVD by the end of the year!

According to the Warner Archive Facebook page:

"We can officially confirm that due to unprecedented consumer response to ALICE Season 1, clearances have been expedited and work has begun to bring you ALICE Season 2 later this year."

So it's official! "Alice" has done well on DVD, and we'll be seeing more!

Let's just hope that season 2 has a episode guide included

The real question is will they release Season 2 with the 22 episodes that aired or the 24 episodes that were produced. The Reporter and The Bus were produced for Season 2 but CBS left them unaired and they were never aired in prime-time. Also, strangely, these two episodes had the Season 4 opening credits in syndication.

That's interesting. I never heard of episodes of a tv series being produced, but not airing, except for when a show gets cancelled before the remaining eps can be aired. Yes, they need to be included on the DVD set!!!!!!

Great News! I just got Season 1 in the mail and have watched most of the episodes. Really hoping season 3 makes it out, it's one of my favorites from the series.

Jude The Obscure · 08-10-2012, 04:25 PM

Looking forward to it as I'm enjoying season 1 immensely!

While it's great that this is being released, it should be noted that some Warner Archive releases are made-on-demand, which means they are DVD-Rs and not pressed DVDs.

I believe this applies only to the releases that are only available directly though their website, but I'm not sure.

Will season 2 have a episode guide?

Hey, you're lucky they're putting them in a plastic case! Just because you spend money you think you're entitled to an episode guide?!?

Yes, I want a episode guide when money is deducted from my account

Jude The Obscure · 08-11-2012, 09:13 PM

I have no problems with DVD-Rs--they play fine for me in my combo VHS-DVD/R machine

yayaya · 09-26-2012, 02:19 PM

I look forward to season two. Finally, it seems WB is noticing that fans want their retro 70's shows. Now, if only Eight is Enough could be on DVD.

Hopefully this release comes with a episode guide.
