    I know an episode from a sitcom, from 40 years ago. Saw it last saturday on AntennaTV. 
 The episode was very prescient, about robots and ai taking over human roles. Spoiler, the robot waitress suffers a breakdown when busy. 
 Discuss and flame away, it's friday.

    Mel was one of the celebrities who used to drink at my favorite bar.

    I liked the first two or three seasons best (Polly Holliday era of the show), lol.

    Everyone was gaga over Alice, but I didn’t find her that attractive. She looked old.
I liked Flo better.
