Warner Home Video Wants to Know...What Are Your Favorite 'Alice' Episodes?

Finally the classic '70s sitcom Alice starring Linda Lavin is coming to DVD in 2006 and Warner Home Video wants to know what your favorite ten episodes are of the 202 episodes that were made. They will be releasing a "TV Favorites" (basically a one disc set with six episodes) set of the sitcom in 2006 and they need your help! Click here to post your ten favorite episodes of Alice and you will help them a lot! The deadline is Tuesday (Nov. 1)--so hurry! All fans HAVE to buy the set when it comes out because if this sells well--you will indeed get the complete first season on DVD. So, this set will be testing the waters for potential season sets for the show. Many thanks to Warner Home Video for choosing our website for a place people can post their top episodes.

They also promise "TV Favorites" sets of Family Matters, The Drew Carey Show, Step by Step, and Night Court. We hope all of those garner season sets, too. It is strange for Night Court though since season one of that sitcom is already out. The sitcom Friends seems like it will be continuing to come out on DVD even after the tenth and final season comes out on DVD next month, with themed TV Favorite sets such as the Holiday episodess and Best ofs for each character.
We will bring you more news on Warner Bros. TV DVDs as soon as we hear some.
