Flo was an American television sitcom series which ran from 1980 to 1981 on CBS. The series was a spinoff for Polly Holliday, whose portrayal of the sassy and street-smart waitress Flo Castleberry on Alice struck a chord with viewers. Flo was on her way to Houston, Texas for a new job when she stopped by to visit her old hometown: Cowtown, Texas. In a fit of nostalgia she bought a rundown roadhouse she had enjoyed in her formative years, and christened the place "Flo's Yellow Roadhouse." Coping with a business, as well as her mother and sister, caused most of the conflict in the series.
The short first season (spring 1980) was a ratings success [1]. The following season brought a sharp decline in numbers(due to a timeslot change), and thus ended Flo.
The theme song, "Flo's Yellow Rose" was written and sung by Hoyt Axton.
