While working at Mel’s Diner, Alice becomes close friends with Flo and Vera, two other waitresses. Eventually Flo left (for a spin-off series) and a few other characters came and went. The shows ratings went up and down and then back up. The show didn’t end due to a loss of a fan base, but rather a loss of interest on the part of Linda Lavin, who felt that the show had lived out its life. The series ended with Mel selling the diner and Alice becoming a singer in Nashville. Everyone lived happily ever after. While there aren’t really any boxed set DVDs of Alice, six episodes of the show were recorded onto DVD as a part of Warner Brothers’ Television Favorites. If you want to see more than the six episodes on the DVD, AOL in2tv airs Alice episodes for free. To all those who loved Alice, those who still do and those who have yet to meet her, the 80s were definitely better because of her – proving that women could make it on their own. Listen to the theme song below and travel straight back to the early 80s with Alice. http://youtu.be/JoDlkYPVNic
