I know but they only put like 12 episodes from the whole series on DVD or Video. I have bought 4, 5 packs of The Lucy Show and most of them have the same episodes like Lucy & Carol, Lucy & The Draft, and Main Street USA. Those are just some of the episodes. Why wont they put the entire series on DVD?

I agree! I think they do need to get the entire The Lucy Show series out on DVD. I have three DVD packs of The Lucy Show along with one VHS pack and together I have a total of 19 episodes. Keep in mind, that some packs have the same episodes of them. We need to have more episodes out on DVD and not just the same 20-25 ones.

Here are the episodes that I have on DVD/VHS-bought
#111- "Lucy and George Burns", #112- "Lucy the Bean Queen", #114- "Lucy Gets a Roommate", #115- "Lucy and Carol In Palm Springs", #117- "Lucy Gets Caught in the Draft", #118- "Lucy and Paul Witchell", #119- "Lucy and John Wayne", #120- "Lucy Goes to London", #126- "Lucy the Babysitter", #129- "Lucy Meets the Law", #130- "Lucy the Fight Manager", #131- "Lucy and Sheldon Leonard", #132- "Lucy and Tennessee Ernie Ford", #133- "Lucy Gets Trapped", #135- "Little Old Lucy", #136- "Lucy the Starmaker", #137- "Lucy Meets the Berles", #138- "Lucy Gets Jack Benny's Account" and #139- "Lucy and Robert Goulet".

Most of the episodes that are out on DVD/VHS are from the 5th season (episodes #111 to #132) and about six 6th season episodes along with two 1st season episodes. That is not much compared to the amount of episodes there are of The Lucy Show: 156.

But fortunitely for me, I was able to get the whole series through tape trading.

The real question will be what they do with the first season black-and-white episodes. Hallmark prefers color episodes, and shows early "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie" episodes that were colorized for Canadian TV. They don't show the B&W "My Three Sons" episodes at all. Should be interesting.

Hallmark snags Paramount programming

Hallmark Channel inked a programming deal with Paramount Domestic Television that expands the network's acquired fare.

The deal includes rights to 30 of Paramount's Perry Mason mystery titles, which will likely air in prime time.

Clint Eastwood's Rawhide, along with Gun Slingers and Have Gun Will Travel, will fill a Western block.

Comedy pickups include Hogan’s Heroes, Mork and Mindy, The Lucy Show and The Beverly Hillbillies.

This is such a shame that the deal fell through. I was very heartbroken and disappointed when I found that out. But then again, I wasn't that surprised because I kinda figured something would prevent it from being aired.

Was The Lucy Show ever closed-captioned any time it was on, on The Hallmark Channel, Nick-At-Nite, etc.?

Thanks,

Patrick

Okay, it was a couple years ago that this Hallmark thread was started, but apparently they are still considering adding TLS to their lineup. They have a survey with a list of shows their considering, including TLS. You can go put in your vote there. Here's the link:

That survey has been there for a while because I remember taking it a few years ago. I doubt The Lucy Show will ever be on air again. I hope after ILL is release on DVD, they will start this series. Even if they only release season one of the show, it would be nice to see some other episodes than the 30 that get released over and over again as new ones.
