Is Alice safe for children?

Alice is an American sitcom television series that ran from August 31, 1976 to March 19, 1985 on CBS. The series is based on the 1974 film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. The show stars Linda Lavin in the title role, a widow who moves with her young son to start her life over again, and finds a job working at a roadside diner on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona. Most of the episodes revolve around events at Mel's Diner.

This 1970s sitcom has a calm, naturalistic pace typical of live-action shows from that era, with minimal visual effects or rapid scene changes, though it's designed for older children and adults rather than infants and toddlers.
