Why Isn't Alice on Any Cable Channel? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

About two years ago, TNN (now Spike TV) reran episodes of Alice. The network dropped the long-running sitcom and now it's no longer shown on any cable network. Why isn't Alice shown on any cable network? I have never found the show dated.

Hey TV Land, Goodlife, Hallmark or Lifetime, take notice. You're missing out on a ground breaking sitcoms that focused on a working woman.

I agree. The show should be seen. Alice was one of my favorite shows.

It'd be nice if they bring them back. Knowing that Desi was a guest one time has made me very interested on it

I would to see Alice again, I grew up watching Alice on WTBS (ahh the good old days). I haven't seen an episode in about ten years.

If anyone has a very good set of Alice I can put it on dvd from a recorder.

I haven't seen ALICE since it was on E! back in the mid-90's.

I assume that Viacom still has syndication rights since was last seen on TNN (now Spike). Maybe pavanbadal could enlighten us.

The Last Alice was seen was in late 2000 when TNN yanked it off the line up. I think Alice should be back on television again, it's just finding a station or network that would air it.. i think a possibility would be TVLand, Hallmark or WGN... but i doubt we will see it on TV in the near future.
