Alice: The Complete Eighth Season

Alice's eighth season starts with a bang as a distant relative of Jolene's (Celia Weston) comes visiting, straight from Hazzard County! Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) himself arrives, with Enos (Sonny Shroyer) in tow, and faster than you can say "Beau and Luke Duke," he's tricked Mel (Vic Tayback) out of his beloved diner. Good thing "good ol' gal" Alice (Linda Lavin) has a plan to get it back. Florence Henderson stops by as Sarah James, the singing-star girl of Mel's dreams, who stuns the staff when she sweeps him off his feet. Martha Raye makes a number of return visits as Mel's mom, Carrie, while the staff gears up for a big event -- Vera (Beth Howland) gets hitched to her boy in blue, local cop Elliot (Charles Levin)! This 3-disc, 24-episode collection contains the entire eighth season, including the seventh-season-produced episodes Jolene Lets the Cat Out of the Bag and Vera's Secret Lover, which aired in season eight.
