On the TV Land message board it says it is being replaced with The Beverly Hillbillies.

Although I have two seasons of DVD's and I do get I Love Lucy on two local channels, I know that many only get ILL on TVland. That just sux!!

That does suck? I only have the first 2 seasons on DVD, so I usually get my fix of Lucy either at 6pm or weekend mornings.

I would buy the rest of the seasons on DVD, but they're so damn expensive? I saw the third season ON SALE at Best Buy for $37.99. I can usually find most sitcoms for under $30, so I was surprised to see them so much.

I was debating over whether or not to buy the box set...if they cancel it I will get the complete series on DVD!

OH Nuts!

The 194 ep soup to nuts set (Seasons 1-9) is cheaply packaged but the discs seem fine. I paid $140 for mine @ Target. I wouldn't go over $140 for it. But I'm glad I have it ALL now.

OH Nuts!

What a poor decision, Lucy's the best thing TV Land's got going for them. How long do we have until it's off the air? :(

If they did cancel I.L.L. it would be one great big major LAME A** decision. TV Land schmeeveeland. As I've said before, to heck w cable TV. I put my $35-40 a month to getting DVD sets of shows I loves so I don't ever have to be dependent on any sorry-a** excuse for a TV channel.

TV Land needs all the hours it can to air such classics as Crocodile Dundee 2. :rolleyes: :mad: puke:

Not true. Read the December and January threads on the General Sitcoms Board.

From what I've read the I Love Lucy contract is up in 2008 but it will probably be renewed.
Here's what someone said about this; "The network's contract to "I Love Lucy" ends at the end of December of 2008 (next year). But that doesn't mean it will the leave the network. There's a possibility of the show getting renewed. But it would help a great deal if the fans of ILL showed the network that they want "I Love Lucy" to remain on the schedule beyond 2008. "

I like The Beverly Hillbillies, but it doesn't have a chance on TV Land anyway. It will be airing at 2 & 3 AM in no time like all the good shows. Plus, if The Beverly Hillbillies replaces I Love Lucy, it will automatically have two strikes against it.

OH Nuts!

What's the name of the moron who runs that place anyway? Must have been appointed by Bush. Or a gary morTon relative.
