Where is the TV Biography on Lucy??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

You know on cable stations they keep having those 1 hour biography shows about famous people? Well, I've seen practically every single star covered but where is Lucille Ball??? She's the one that started it all and I haven't seen a biography show on her so one of the cable stations like A&E, E!, Lifetime, etc. must have a biography show on her, you know?

Can you please splain?

LOL!

PBS shows one called Finding Lucy. I've seen bio shows on her on other channels too, but not lately.

I agree PBS has had the American Masters series and they had a two hour (or is it 90 mins?) on Lucille Ball. I'd recommend that instead of Biography, since PBS has NO COMMERCIALS and you get more bang for your pleasure.

They had one years ago, but never reaired it for some reason, must be the huge amounts that go to the estate or something. I have a copy of it and then, they proceeded to do one on every channel you can imagine, even the Travel channel had one on her. Bravo had one too, it was called Desilu i think. There have been quite a few over the years but i agree that Finding Lucy is one of the best.

But they haven't shown ANY on ANY cable channel OR PBS for years! I have looked out for it but there's nothing. She's considered the biggest female TV star of all time so WHY aren't they showing her life story AT ALL???

They have some 'splaining to do!!

LOL!

PBS just aired her story on American Masters at least three times in the last 4 months, so how can you say television hasn't aired her story for years?

Exactly, you're just not looking hard enough, LOL!

Yep. Irene's right. There's a website that shows all her appearances for the month. It's called "TV NOW" I think. Or something like that. If you look on that then you won't miss it if they air it again.
