One of the best shows from back in the day. Good clean television fun. Had the privilege of getting some press photos from Polly Holiday’s “Flo” TV series. Both the series are such great Americana entertainment.
Got to see Linda Lavin live twice on Broadway in Diary of Anne Frank with Natalie Portman and Hollywood Arms by Carol Burnett and her daughter Carrie Hamilton. Two great nights in the theatre! I also got to see Polly Holiday in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Katheen Turner.
Dave Madden was more famous for his role as ruben, the manager on the partridge family-hence the name of his book. linda lavin was also in the 2019 movie Nancy drew and the hidden stair where she plays a woman supposedly being haunted , leading to nancy's investigation.
They did poor POLLY HOLIDAY (holly holiday on glee in honor of her) a bad turn when they cancelled her spin off so fast! The ratings were good and then they just decided to sweep it out with other shows for an overhaul😢. PROBABLY because it is was 'too white' and southern. They should have let her tweak it and given more time to grow. OF COURSE she didnt want to go back on ALICE afterwards! Duh!
Philip McKeon worked on the film Murder in the First which was directed by Marc Rocco who's real life father, Alex Rocco, played the tv dad to Nancy McKeon, Phillips' sister, on the hit tv show Facts of Life.
I loved watching Alice growing up. When Flo left, it wasn't the same. Thank you!!😊
"Kiss my grits Mel!!"
Some characters are so pivotal and iconic that they just can't be replaced
Didn't she go on to have her own show that didn't do too well?@@Donathon-qx8kq
Alice, and The Jeffersons were staples of my youth.

Flo played Jill's mom on Home Improvement.
I always loved ditzy Vera. Also, can we talk about the iconic theme song?

Missed Diane Ladd as Belle! She was in the original movie as Flo!
@ R. R. You do a wonderful job.. In all your projects...
You left out Martha Raye, who played Mel's mother and appeared many times on Alice.
Such a great show and casts too 👍👍👍👍

Polly Holliday is an incredibly talented actor
When Polly left the show it jumped the shark. Vic was also in an episode of Emergency.
I remember watching this on AFN when I was stationed in Germany, my wife liked Flo like others have said when she left it wasn't that good.

You forgot to mention Vic Tayback's memorable roles on Star Trek and in "The Big Bus." Kiss my grits.
You forgot Dianne Ladd. Love your channel ❤❤❤❤❤😊
2:18. Cash register says 69.69, I doubt that was by chance…

Best one was when the guy died at a table and they tried to cover it up without moving the body.
KISS MY GRITS ❤❤❤
Has anyone else seen the plot similarities between Alice and Cheers?
I remember the guy called Mel starred on an episode of Tales from the Darkside.
I totally forgot about this one.
‘Well, kiss my grits’ 😎🤘🇺🇸
I was born in April of 1974 I watched this and I have seen the movie Kris kristoferson is in it

Martha Raye played Alice's mother on this show.
She was Mel's mother.
@@kallen868 Thank you for correcting me. You are right about that. She was Mel's mother.
"When Donkey's Fly!" - which character?
By "grits", Flo meant butt.
