Telly Savalas takes time off from his Kojak duties to appear as himself in this first episode of Alice's fourth season. All agog when Telly stops over at the diner for a quick bite to eat, starry-eyed Vera (Beth Howland)--who happens to be the only one on duty--can't wait to tell her co-workers. Unfortunately, no one, not even Alice (Linda Lavin), believes Vera's story, and this disbelief snowballs into a near-disaster. Also showing up in a guest bit is Telly Savalas' brother George Savalas, who likewise appeared on Kojak, billed as "Demosthenes". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
