[[Work Com]] on [[CBS]] straddling [[The Seventies]] and [[The Eighties]], set in a diner and starring Linda Lavin as Alice. [[Inspired By]] the film ''Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.'' The series lasted from August, 1976 to July, 1985
Alice's waitressing job at Mel's Diner was meant to be temporary while she got her singing career moving, but it stretched out to nine seasons. During that time, we met penny-pinching hothead Mel, the diner's owner; [[Cloudcuckoolander]] waitress Vera; Alice's son, Tommy, and wise-cracking, slightly over-the-hill, good-time-girl waitress Flo. In the midst of all the schemes and hilarity that ensued at the diner, it was always Alice who remained level-headed and somehow always came up with a solution.
Line 29:
* [[Spin-Off]] - ''Flo''. It didn't last long, and Flo never came back to ''Alice'' despite the character's popularity.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]] - The two waitresses who replaced Flo: Belle, and then JoLene, Both of them were sassy Southerners, like Flo, but JoLene was clearly not supposed to be as sexually available as the other two.
* [[Tropacabana]]: The series spent almost all its airtime in Mel's Diner.
