How are the episodes without Freddie? I can't bear to watch them because I get choked up. I saw the first one without Freddie and it was just to much..... There was no tribute or anything. He deserved to be acknowleged... How could they have overlooked giving him a mention. They really hurted the fans...... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif You have to remember that Freddie was a huge star back then similar to Britney Spears today.... When he died it broke all our hearts......... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif

I cant stand watching the episodes now without Chico he is a very big part of the show. I watch them anyway cause i never seen them before but its not the same. I cant wait for episode 1 to come back on.

Yes, this mornings episode was so sad. Everything reminded me of Chico, Della syaing CHico was in Mexico but he's not, he's never coming back & Seeing Chico's friend Salvadore without Chico. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif I'm still watching but it's sad. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif

This morning while MY FAVORITE MARTIAN was on & just before CHICO came on there was an ad for CATM the one they've been playing where it goes Chicos got Charisma Etc & he does the little dog inte the window etc... & it said at the end of the ad coming up next. I thought FALSE ADVERTISING LOL cuz Chico isn't in todays episode. I noticed in that ad that in one clip of him they show he is wearing a red t-shirt with some sort of picture on it. Ya know how in the 70's they had the t-shirts with the pictures of famous stars on them. My hubby has a red t-shirt just like that except ti had a pic of Elvis on it. COOL! I wonder what picture was on the front of Freddies shirt. If it was Elvis double cool cuz it means him & my hubby had the assme shirt...

I just counted the episodes on my schedule
Peko and there are 24 more before they start over again. At five shows a week that means
we have about 4 1/2 more weeks of "no Chico"!
I hope by the time they start showing them over again, they're on prime time or at least a better time slot.

i am taping the episodes without freddie. it is hard to watch them. we have a ways to go to get back to the begining with freddie. it is a shame that there was no tribute to freddie. it is a shame that they kept the same show title "chico and the man", they should have changed the shows title. and they should have changed the song too because the song is to chico. freddie deserved a tribute because he was the one that made the show and the one that everyone loved to watch.

I agree with ya Tracy. Todays episode was funny but it wasn't the same without Chico. You miss him so bad on the show... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif

Yeah i agree the episode this morning was funny but they really miss Chico.

Today was the first of the Raul's. He was a cute & precocious little thing. It made me miss Chic tho.

Raul was funny but he is not Chico. Also maybe i missed it but werent they supposed to have a scene where Ed is told Chico left him to go into business with his father?

GET OUT OF MY GARAGE!!!

I'd heard there was a scene like that in there but it had been so many yrs since I saw it until the marathon. I don't recall that scene being in todays episode unless maybe they edited it out.

I watched the episode again and that scene wasnt in there today. Unless i am really going crazy. I guess they edited it out.

Freddie Alert! They just showed a CATM ad with him in it on TVLAND during MY FAVORITE MARTIAN (another good show). http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif I ran to the TV to tape it but got so excited I didn't engage the record button in all the way & probably didn't get it all. Yikes! Still false advertising when they said next cuz Freddie ain't gonna be on there today. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif

Rauls a precious little thing but I still miss Freddie... Todays episode was good but no Chico. ;(

Although I miss Freddie way too much I really think Raul is adorable and the episodes still make me laugh. I am enjoying them

I do not really like the episodes without Freddie. It makes me miss him all the more. I felt really bad for Jack, Della, Louie, and the rest because they were trying to fill a very huge void. How old was Scatman when he was on CATM. Does anyone know, and when did he die? I know he was still around in 1986 because he was in The Shinning---GOOD MOVIE...

This is my first time around seeing all the episodes and im telling you Jack looks very sad in his scenes you can tell that he really misses his friend Freddie aka Chico.

I agree...The Shining was an excellent movie...but didn't it come out in the late 70's? Maybe it's not as old as I'm thinking but it seems to me that it came out when I was still in high school.
I can remember my dad telling me that he once saw Scatman Caruthers in Atlanta, Ga. playing jazz saxaphone in some club back in the early 70's...like 71 or 72. He said that he also used to tune into some jazz radio station real late at night and hear Scatman play.
Anyway...just a little bit of CATM trivia. I am also finding it hard to watch the episodes without Chico but I have one bright spark...if it's gonna be 4 1/2 weeks until they start running them again...my kids will almost be out of school for summer break and that means I can stay up late and record them.
By the way, I have submitted a bit of fan fiction to Starshine's site...you should go take a peek and let me know what you all think. It's called The Barrio...not the title I wanted to use but I needed to get it to Starshine as I promised her I would. It is not finished but if you like it there will be more. Please e-mail me with your responses...good or bad...

I can't even bear to watch these Chico-less episodes. It's really hard for me to. I mainly watched the shows because of Freddie. I tried to watch an episode without Freddie, but I couldn't even get through the first 5 minutes of it without wanting to cry. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif

I'm counting the days til Freddie's back!

Yeah, you watch the epsiode & in between laughing at the funny stuff & thinking Raul was a cute kid, you get all leaky over Chico...
