Mad at Tvland - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I agree, CATM should be in a better time
slot. Chico looked like his old self this
morning and the show was back to it's old
self. I was beginning to worry a little with
the last few episodes. Ed seemed very rude,
and I noticed that Chico and him were not as
touchy, feeley. I liked the show today.
Chico looked more handsome than usual and
him and Ed were loving each other again. Did
anyone else notice the difference?? By the
way, thanks Cheryl for the petition. I signed it today.
Angel part 3 will be posted tomorrow..just
a reminder. Can't wait! If you haven't had
the chance to read it yet, please do, it is
well worth your time.

I read parts one & 2 & they were great!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-04-2001, 02:33 AM

On the CHICO & THE MAN message boards on AOL, I wrote on there asking about whether or not the show would be on 6 am Saturdays. A host answerd it & here's the answer:

>On TVLAND'S website under the listing for CHICO & THE MAN, it lists it as
>being on at 5 am est & also on Sat mornings too. On the weekly list of TVLAND
>shows it mentions that the TVLAND FANDEMONIUMS are on Saturday mornings at 5
>AM

A 'programming day' on TV Land runs from 6 a.m. until 6 a.m. Thus, the "Chico and the Man" that airs at 5 a.m. on Saturday is actually part of the Friday programming day. Fandemonium Marathon Weekends begin at 6 a.m. on Saturday. This is the same information that appears on the "weekly schedule" on the website.

(NOTE: All times above are Eastern.)

I assume this means it's gonna be on Sat mornings at 5 Am but that time is still considered to be Friday AM LOL!

Tracy-Prinze · 04-04-2001, 09:40 PM

also i am mad with tvland for editing chico and the man so much. we are probably loosing 2 to 3 minutes of this show. what do you think??? do you know how much more of freddie we could see???
i would love it, if this show was on tape with no commercials, the out-takes, and especially the bloopers. oh my, would that be something. i would be the first one in line to buy this tape. How about you???

Karen64 · 04-04-2001, 09:52 PM

Me, too, Tracy! Given all the interest in Freddie and CATM, tapes like that would sell pretty well! Out of all the 70's shows on the Sitcom message board, this one has almost the greatest number of posts! United we stand!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-05-2001, 03:10 AM

I'd buy some tapes of him. My hubby & I were discussing how it wasn't available on video tape along with some other shows of his. He was wondering if maybe James Komaks heirs have the rights to it or what. There is definately enough interest to have all the show sput out on video & have out a book on the whole show with pictures & have a book on Freddies life with tons of pictures...

DeDe · 04-05-2001, 03:47 AM

well spoken karen, yes yes this is a very
strong board and we all are going to keep
it that way "right everyone"? let's continue
to support everyones post. let's do it for
freddie.

cheryl, girl you are a genius, you come up
with brain storming ideal, keep it up
please! we need you (smile).

let's go for the
tapes cheryl.

i don't like it when tvland splits the screen and i can't hear the flip side of the theme song "chico and the man". that drives me crazy because i love the flip side of the song. i love the way jose (with the accent over the e ) sings the theme song but tvland always interrupts at the end of the show. why do they do this????

Tracy-Prinze · 04-08-2001, 01:21 AM

oh yeah and NO chico until tuesday. Why is tvland picking on this classic show???????

Cheryl Harrell · 04-08-2001, 02:15 AM

I agree with ya ont he split screens. The shows ending theme song is on the flips side of the CHICO theme song 45 by Jose Feliciano. My hubby & I recently found it in an antique shop awhile back & bought it. They are doing that no weekends junk with alot of other good shows too.

Fortuantely I love the FANDAMONIUM marathons. The GOMER PYLE one this weekend is really good & next weekends one on the BEVERLY HILLBILLIES is gonna be good too. More CHICO please!

EdBrownJr · 04-08-2001, 08:26 PM

Is is just me or wasnt there a Beverly Hillbillys Fandemomium a few months ago. They really need to do another Chico and the Man weekend.

Tracy-Prinze · 04-08-2001, 10:10 PM

hello edbrownjr,
tvland has been repeating marathons on other
shows. i don't see why they can't do another chico and the man marathon. freddie deserves it and we deserve it too. i have e-mailed them already to do another chico and the man marathon. and to show chico from the begining to the end again. there is a petition to sign for a better time slot for chico, it is on this web site, if you have not signed yet. also e-mail them to do another marathon and to start over again. i hope everyone on this board does too. don't wait for tvland . we must make our demands heard, NOW!

EdBrownJr · 04-08-2001, 10:46 PM

I cant even get up at 5am to watch the show i have tried but i just cant get up. TVLand has put the show on in a better time slot.

------------------
GET OUT OF MY GARAGE!!!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-09-2001, 04:10 AM

If there was another BEVERLY HILLBILLIE's marathon home come I missed it LOL! I too hope they'll have another CHICO marathon. We need it! Looking Good!

BTW-- if you can't see the show in the 5 am timeslot, you can always video tape & see it late & then save the tapes to re-watch! Good luck!

dawsongirl · 04-10-2001, 04:46 PM

Not that I'm saying moving Chico to this time slot was okay (that time slot is crap for anything), but I have the belief that it will get a better time slot in the future. I got TVLand a little over a year ago, and my fav. show, Hogan's Heroes, was on at 4 & 4:30am. Ticked me off. Then, in a matter of months, it got moved to 3 & 3:30pm. Then like 4 months later it moved again to 12 & 12:30 pm. Now it's on at 10am. It moved 4 time in a year. I heard that the Love Boat was coming in June, which will probably mean yet another schedule change. So keep your hopes alive that those indecisive people at TVLand will give Chico a better time slot.
