synopsis
Season Eight of Alice begins with the series' first-ever "crossover" episode. Sorrell Booke and Sonny Shroyer show up at Mel's Diner as Boss Hogg and Enos Strait, the characters they'd introduced on another Warner Bros.-produced TV series, Dukes of Hazzard. True to form, the larcenous Hogg stoops mighty low to force Mel (Vic Tayback) to relinquish the lease on his diner, the better to make room for a new establishment (owned by guess who?) called "Boar's Nest West." Will Alice (Linda Lavin put up her dukes--or maybe her "Daisy Dukes"--to save the day?
