I Love Lucy TV Schedule For 1987 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Timoth26 · 03-30-2010, 08:20 PM

Hey, I was just wondering. Is there a way to look up past tv schedules for I Love Lucy or any other tv show? Weather it'd be first run as in original broadcast or when the first time the show aired in syndication?

I was wondering what the TV Schedule for I Love Lucy looked like in the 1980's or 90's. There year I'm looking for is 1987.

What stations did Lucy use to air on before TVLand or Hallmark? Did it ever air on a station called Comedy Centrel? Please let me know. Thanks.

...there's an episode guide, with the original CBS airdates, at "The Classic TV Archive" {ctva.biz} and "tv.com".

The series originally aired on CBS in prime-time from October 1951 through June 1957 [with a summer break every season]. Repeats began on the network in April 1955 on early Sunday evenings {52 selected episodes as "THE SUNDAY LUCY SHOW", later "THE SATURDAY LUCY SHOW", through April 1956}, then prime-time repeats on various evenings from September 1957 through September 1960 {the last 13 episodes from 1957 were repackaged as "LUCY IN CONNECTICUT" on Sunday nights, in the summer of '60}- and finally, daytime repeats [weekdays and several periods on weekends] from January 1959 through September 1967. Then, CBS released the series in syndication to local stations...and they appeared up until about several years ago [WNEW-TV in New York- now WNYW- aired it from September 1967 through at least 2003]. 'Nick At Nite' began airing it on cable in 1994, then on their sister 'TV Land' channel through 2008 {it NEVER appeared on 'Comedy Central'}, and currently, it's "on and off" 'The Hallmark Channel'...when they bother to schedule it.

Hope this information is of help to you.

well, in Philadelphia in the late 60s through the mid 70s WPVI channel 6 showed it weekdays at 4 p.m.-I know that because I lived in Philadelphia at the time.

And at the same time WNEW in new york (I think that was the stations call letters) used to show it weekdays at 11 a.m. and also on weekday afternoons (I forget what time though-I think it was around 5 or 5:30) and also in Philadelphia in the early 80s Channel 48 used to show it weeknights at 6 p.m.

...aired "I LOVE LUCY" weeknights at 7pm from September 1967 through the mid-'70s, then a little earlier [but not at 5pm in the mid-'70s: that's when "THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB" appeared], 'treky'.

In 1987, the 13 hour-long 1957-'60 "specials" [better known as "THE LUCY-DESI COMEDY HOUR", the title it's appeared as, in repeats, since 1962] were also re-edited and syndicated as a "new" 26 episode series, "WE LOVE LUCY" (each "hour" in two parts).

I Love Lucy ran for a long time on TBS before the rights finally lapsed. The final day was a Christmas Eve marathon called "Yule Love Lucy", which I had taped at the time.
