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.
