there was a show that I watched, maybe in the middle of the 1990s and I cant remember the name.

it was about a woman who packed up her life in new york (I think, or was it chcago) and went off to life in france and while she was there she either frequented a certain bar/restaurant or she was a waitress there.

does anyone know what show I am talking about?

Are you absolutely sure it took place in France? I was definitely a tv-aholic back in those years, and the show you are describing doesn't sound familiar at all. Do you remember any other details, like actors/actresses who were in it, or anything else?

That was Alice, not Mel's Diner. Mel's Diner was, however, where she worked. And, believe it or not, I never watched it. Its just one of those pieces of cultural knowledge you pick up.

Barbara, I am completely horrified that you did not LOVE Alice???!

Next thing you will tell me is that you never harbored a crush for Vinnie Barbarino or The Fonze...
Sheeeeeeeeesh!

No, the show was called Alice and it was based on the movie just as Isramom8 said. Mel's Diner was the setting. It aired from 1976 to 1985, but there were reruns. There was also a spinoff show, Flo.

Did Flo have short curly red hair? That's what came into my mind when I read her name.
Alice's son was Tommy?
