Alice - 'The Complete 5th Season' Date Revealed: TOMORROW! MOD release of this 3-DVD set from the Warner Archive is happening this week
Posted by David Lambert	7/31/2017
Mel's Diner continues to function as a welcome waystation in the pursuit of dreams in Alice's fifth hit season. Ex-Mel gal Belle (Diane Ladd) continues to keep the service staff up to snuff in style and sass, while Alice continues to raise Tommy and chase her singing career...and Vera keeps on being, well, Vera. The baton gets passed mid-season, as Alice helps lady truck driver Jolene (Celia Weston) escape a bad business partner just in time for Jolene to replace Belle, who has hit the road with her brother's band. Among the celebrity diners visiting Mel's this season are Robert Goulet (as himself), Mildred Natwick, Martha Raye, Ruth Buzzi, and a returning Jerry Reed (as himself). This 3-disc, 22-episode collection contains the entire fifth season as originally produced, plus Mel's Cousin, Wendell and Vera and the Bouncing Check, which both originally aired during the series' sixth season. Two weeks ago we reported that Alice - The Complete 5th Season is on-the-way to DVD at last, courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection's MOD program. Now the studio has formally scheduled the title for release on August 1st...TOMORROW! It's priced at $34.99 SRP for a 3-disc set, and you can pre-order it right away via the WBshop.com button link seen below. Underneath that is the official cover art image. Our thanks to several of our readers, starting with "Larry," who emailed us about this over the weekend!
