Was that the skinny, scatter brained one?
Yes, she was the dingy broad, as Mel called her.

Flo and a succession of others were the smart mouthed sassy Southern girls.

Alice, despite being the titular character, was the uninteresting one who couldn't sing and had a kid who couldn't act.

Every time she got the excuse to get up and have to sing a song, I changed the channel.

Remember - we didn't have remotes or 500 channels on demand back in 1981.

I had to get off my duff and move the station, usually to test patterns.

i thought the show was funny and i also thought it was cool that polly holiday is from jasper
It's funny you mention that. Throughout her time on the series, she was said to be from "Cowtown, Texas" but there was one episode where she met some teenage girl with a Southern accent and then informed the girl that she herself (Polly) was "from Talladega."

She also had a recurring role for a while on Barney Miller, didn't think she was much on there either.

I'm not a fan of sitcoms having their stars singing. I hated I Love Lucy episodes where we had to sit through Ricky's nightclub act.
