I watched every episode of this show. I will never forget Flo's famous line "Kiss my grits." I actually liked this show better than the Alice show that this show spun off of. Too bad it only lasted 2 seasons.
Yes, this show was definitely spin-off of Alice. The Flo TV show was a 30 minute comedy series on CBS about a diner waitress who got a new job as a restaurant hostess in another city. On her way there, she stopped in her hometown to visit family. She ended out buying a worn down roadhouse there instead of continuing on to the new job and fixed up her new business as best she could. The episode plots dealt with her business problems and dealing with her customers, employees, mother, and sister.
According to wikipedia:
Flo is an American sitcom which aired on CBS from 1980 to 1981. The series is a spin-off for Polly Holliday, whose portrayal of the sassy and street-smart waitress Florence Jean "Flo" Castleberry on the sitcom Alice initially struck a chord with viewers, but was cancelled at the end of its second season.
