Looking Good! Freddie Prinze's Signature Series, Chico and the Man Launches On TV Land With 48-Hour Marathon Beginning January 20

NEW YORK, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- TV Land will add the breakthrough sitcom Chico and the Man to its all-star lineup beginning with a 48-hour marathon at 6:00am ET on Saturday, January 20. Originally airing from 1974-78, the series -- set in the barrio of East Los Angeles -- was the first of its kind to present a multi-cultural neighborhood to a national television audience. Accompanied by a hit theme song -- written and composed by Jose Feliciano -- Chico and the Man, which has not aired in prime time since its original run -- became a pioneer in American television as it introduced viewers to a vibrant, thriving culture and made Freddie Prinze a household name. Chico and the Man will air weeknights at 12:00 midnight ET/9:00pm PT beginning Monday, January 22.

"Chico and the Man was a cultural touchstone for an entire generation of people and it represented the pinnacle of Freddie Prinze's all too short career," commented Larry W. Jones, Executive Vice President and General Manager of TV Land. "This Emmy Award-winning series has a special place in television's history and we're excited to offer this rare television experience to our viewers."

Chico and the Man embraced the lives of two men, from considerably different ethnic backgrounds, who worked out of a garage located in a predominately Spanish speaking section of Los Angeles. Chico, played by the talented, young comedian Freddie Prinze, was a spirited and enterprising young mechanic who worked for the ill-tempered, cynical old garage owner Ed Brown (Jack Albertson) who griped and grumbled in an Archie Bunker-like fashion. Episodes often involved a comical dispute between the two resulting from their mismatched cultures, although an underlying respect between the characters was apparent.

Regulars appearing on the show were: Louie the garbageman (Scatman Crothers); their mail woman Mabel (Bonnie Boland); Chico's friend Mando (Isaac Ruiz); Reverend Bemis (Ronny Graham); and diner owner Della Rogers (Della Reese). After the death of Freddie Prinze in 1977, the program introduced a new "Chico" in 12-year-old Raul Garcia (played by Gabriel Melgar). Latin sensation, Charo, also made many guest appearances as the boy's "Aunt Charo." Guest stars appearing throughout the series' four seasons included Cesar Romero, Shelley Winters, Jim Backus and Sammy Davis, Jr.

I miss this fm do tvland have the rights to catm?

I got excited thinking this was a new topic saying the show was coming back on. I guess not LOL!

This is an old thread. I was getting excited at first too.

Me three :(

Man, oh man, you had my heart skipping beats there for a minute - I thouht this was a new thread at first too before I noticed it was the year 2000!!!! :(

Darnit..I saw this message..I was jumping up and down like a clown until i realize it was from the year 2000:(

I wish there was a way to send this thread to TV land!

I guess we all got excited..... TVLand should take notice!!!!

CCH, to answer your question, Warner Brothers TV owns the rights to CATM.... and from what I understand TVLand did not get their rights to air it renewed, for whatever reason. That is why I hope Warner Bros finally releases it to the public. I know a lot of people would buy it. Plus I have asked the Halmark channel to consider picking it up.... they are starting to air some situation comedies now, like M*A*S*H.... if you email them, they might listen..... what about it gang?

Viewers@hallmarkchannel.com

I have emailed them twice now but to no avail and no response. But i'm not calling it quits yet, and don't forget to vote for it to be released on DVD!!!!

I wish tvland would show it come on they could show it on the weekends. The bad news is that i don't get the Halmark channel :( is there a way to get something going like emailing tvland or post on tvland site?

WOW, this thread had me going. :crazy:

me too gracie, welcome to the suckers for Chico club!

Your funny Joy :lol: By the way i email tvland about CATM and email them this posted. Hope it works :)

Gracais!
As i said before i have emailed them countless times with no response, hope you have better luck

Keep E-mailing them. Unlike most of you, I didn't get tv land until they dropped Chico And The Man. I only saw the pilot on one of the weekends. Hopefully it will be back.

i thought this was a new post. Is the show on now?

No unfortunately it isn't on now, we're all emailing TV land and the hallmark channel to see if they will air it, but as of yet no luck.
Don't feel bad you're not the only one who fell for that.
Welcome to the board, post often, you'll like it here!
