On the TV Land message board it says it is being replaced with The Beverly Hillbillies.

Although I have two seasons of DVD's and I do get I Love Lucy on two local channels, I know that many only get ILL on TVland. That just sux!!

That does suck? I only have the first 2 seasons on DVD, so I usually get my fix of Lucy either at 6pm or weekend mornings.

I would buy the rest of the seasons on DVD, but they're so damn expensive? I saw the third season ON SALE at Best Buy for $37.99. I can usually find most sitcoms for under $30, so I was surprised to see them so much.

I was debating over whether or not to buy the box set...if they cancel it I will get the complete series on DVD!

The 194 ep soup to nuts set (Seasons 1-9) is cheaply packaged but the discs seem fine. I paid $140 for mine @ Target. I wouldn't go over $140 for it. But I'm glad I have it ALL now.

If they did cancel I.L.L. it would be one great big major LAME A** decision. TV Land schmeeveeland. As I've said before, to heck w cable TV. I put my $35-40 a month to getting DVD sets of shows I loves so I don't ever have to be dependent on any sorry-a** excuse for a TV channel.

TV Land needs all the hours it can to air such classics as Crocodile Dundee 2.

Not true. Read the December and January threads on the General Sitcoms Board.

From what I've read the I Love Lucy contract is up in 2008 but it will probably be renewed.
Here's what someone said about this; "The network's contract to "I Love Lucy" ends at the end of December of 2008 (next year). But that doesn't mean it will the leave the network. There's a possibility of the show getting renewed. But it would help a great deal if the fans of ILL showed the network that they want "I Love Lucy" to remain on the schedule beyond 2008. "

I like The Beverly Hillbillies, but it doesn't have a chance on TV Land anyway. It will be airing at 2 & 3 AM in no time like all the good shows. Plus, if The Beverly Hillbillies replaces I Love Lucy, it will automatically have two strikes against it.
