I had never seen this show until TV Land started airing it in - I believe - 2001. I became obsessed with it and recorded all of the episodes. But then, it left TV Land. Eventually, I lost my tapes and went the past two decades only being able to watch that single disc best of release and a few poor-quality episodes on YouTube. THIS is a huge deal! I hate ads, but will put up with them for this show. Hopefully, since it's prepped and ready for streaming, it could pop up elsewhere, too. Someplace without ads.

Thanks for the notice!

This was a very funny show. Freddie Prinze and Jack Albertson had amazing chemistry together. I’m of the mind the show should have been cancelled after Freddie’s death.

A couple of days ago, I went on Tubi and found Chico and the Man. I started watching the episodes in order and they were very funny, thanks to the grouchy humor of Jack Albertson's portrayal of Ed Brown toward Chico. It was the show that put Freddie Prinze on the map but he foolishly ended his career when he shot himself in the head at the age of 22. The show should have been canceled after that. Looking forward to seeing the episodes with Scatman Crothers as Louie the Garbage Man.

I was lucky to discover Chico And The Man on Tubi yesterday and I can say it was a flawless show that deserved more mention in reruns in syndication and Freddie Prinze and Jack Albertson showed their talents on this sitcom. And with Jose Feliciano of Feliz Navidad fame singing the wonderful theme song gave it a nice touch

I bought the Blu-Ray set of Chico and the Man from the link you provided. It just arrived a few minutes ago. I have to say... I HIGHLY recommend this boxset! It looks as a good as if it were an official release. The episodes are the streaming versions, so they're uncut and there's no network logo (like on the previous bootleg release going around), and the quality is very good. I would say great, but different people have different expectations of what they consider great quality. There are no ad breaks like when you stream it on Tubi and it's a 4-disc set. Which means an entire season is on each disc. That's perfect for me, because I don't like watching the show in broadcast order (I have my own, which is production order with a few tweaks here and there). This way, I can watch it in my order without having to keep changing the discs. If I find any flaws such as edits to the episodes, I'll update with that info, but for now, I'm very happy.

I may buy a second just to have as a backup. If Warner Bros. ever releases an official set, I'll buy that, too, just to show my support for the series, but if they never do, I'll be happy with this boxset.

Thank you, Davey7373 for making me aware of this Blu-Ray set!

Okay, I just have to say it... This set is loooking goood!!
