How many of you have ILL on one of your local channels? We don't anymore, unfortunately. Our WB-turned MNTV affiliate showed it in the past I believe, but it hasn't been on in a long time. I know there were a decent amount of locals still airing it a few years back....any left?

Aside from TVLand, I see ILL on two local channels here. One of them is a channel that has aired ILL since I was SIX YEARS OLD. That is 36 years now. It is a Los Angeles based station.

The only channel so far that I've seen play ILL is TVLand.

It plays here on Comedy Network...but only early on Sun mornings, so I only see it occasionally :mad:

Until a few months ago, it had been running on a local station here for years. But we also get an LA station on our cable, which may be one of the stations Irene gets. And they still show ILL.

It plays on the Canadian COMEDY channel here on Saturday afternoons, but i have them on all the time on my OWN channel, the DVD one, and i can play them any time i want and they're clear and not one commercial annoys me while viewing them, LOL!

OH Nuts!

Up to about 10 yrs ago, it used to be on a local station here.

None of the local channels where I live show I Love Lucy.

Not anymore - unfortunately. The last I saw ILL on local TV was on our UPN-turned-MNTV affiliate about a year ago. It was in a block with All in the Family and The Jeffersons. Now none of them are on anymore - I guess they felt they needed more infomercials. :rolleyes: :mad:

I'm 33 years old, and ILL has NEVER aired in my area in my lifetime. My mom says it ran here back in the 60s, but I never saw it until the mid-nineties when I got satellite.

:eek2: REALLY? I thought every area aired it locally at least once a decade.

Really. People tend not to believe that, but it's true. I live in eastern North Carolina and never saw ILL until I was in my 20s. I saw the chocolate conveyor belt clips many times on various shows celebrating Lucy's legacy, but I used to think it was silly until I finally saw it in its original context and discovered how great the show actually is!
