Alice, Season 1

In this endearing, classic sitcom that's more relevant now than ever, a headstrong and optimistic single mom from New Jersey is on her way to Hollywood to pursue a career as a singer when her car breaks down in Phoenix. With her 12-year-old son and herself to feed, Alice (Linda Lavin) makes the best of her waitress job serving greasy food to demanding customers at Mel's Diner. Luckily, she has her oddball co-workers — the fun-loving, man-chasing Flo (Polly Holliday); sweet, ditzy Vera (Beth Howland); and their gruff boss, Mel (Vic Tayback) — to brighten her days while she keeps her dreams of stardom alive. Based on the Academy Award®-winning film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, directed by Martin Scorsese, Alice won eight Golden Globe Awards®.
