Flo is an American sitcom television series and a spin-off of Alice that aired on CBS from March 24, 1980, to June 30, 1981. The series starred Polly Holliday reprising her role as sassy and street-smart waitress Florence Jean "Flo" Castleberry who returns to her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas—referred to as "Cowtown"—and becomes the proprietor of a rundown old roadhouse that she renames "Flo's Yellow Rose". Although the series started strong—in the Top 10 during its short first season run[1]—repeated timeslot changes resulted in it falling out of the Top 40 shows by mid-March 1981.[2] It was subsequently not renewed when CBS announced its 1981 fall lineup at the May upfronts.[3]
