Hallmark picks up "The Lucy Show" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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 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.

OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD! I can not believe this. I almost wet my pants when I read The Lucy Show will be added to Hallmark's line-up. I have been waiting for this day to come for so long and now it's gonna happen! I am SO HAPPY! Finally this show is back on the air since 1996! I most DEFINITELY plan on taping both The Lucy Show and Mork and Mindy. Meanwhile . . . excuse me while I go scream . . .

OK. . . I'm done. :-)

Not true. Well, maybe where you live, but I still saw it on TV in 1999 on WCIU in Chicago in the mornings.

"The Lucy Show" has been on the air in Washington, DC since February, weekday mornings at 10:00 on CBS affiliate WUSA, Channel 9.

When does The Lucy Show start on Hallmark? Will it be in the fall around October?

JT · 06-16-2002, 10:54 PM

It comes on my Independant Station at 3:30pm (central) every Wednesday. But they have tons of static......I can still see it a little clear tho.

JT · 06-26-2002, 09:00 PM

That station is now static free! And I watched today! And it was great! It was the episode called "Lucy, the Bean Queen," in which Lucy buys a lot of beans to make some profits. I still can't wait till Hallmark picks it up because once a week isn't enough! (I know I couldn't live in 1962-68 ha?)

Impressions · 07-03-2002, 11:28 PM

You guys, are all Lucky I hardly have any local channel that has sydication I don't think any of my local channel carries Classic TV and you get to watch it locally and I can't wait to see it on The Hallmark Channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm so excited all these classics coming back to tv!

Hi,
Since the Lucy Show left in 1996 off of Nick at Nite, it has still been on. In 1997-1999, the show was put on Chicago's WCIU-TV. In 2001-2002 it was back on WCIU. At the same time, the TLN network, a religious network has aired and continues to air The Lucy Show every Wednesday and Friday at 5:30pm. Another religious network in Chicago (TV-38) aired the entire series of "Here's Lucy" and would like it back one day. They too had a special deal with Paramount television. Aside from the network/independant station airings, the Lucy Show is highly available in just about all video retailers. The Lucy Show is cheap, on DVD, and on VHS and can be found just about anywhere.

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?

Impressions · 08-14-2002, 01:19 PM

I read somewhere that they were going to put The Lucy Show on Hallmark in January 2003!

I agree, they should put the series on DVD its a Popular Classic, I don't see why they have so many Box Sets on this series, if they keep releasing them like that, I don't see why they can't release the entire series.

First it was supposed to be added this fall now its in 2003? I hate Hallmark for making us Lucy fans wait! I wish they put 1st season on DVD. I love Lucy & Vivian on The Lucy Show. Did they ever make an episode to when Lucy left to California? I don't remember one and I don't think they did.

That's what I heard. I don't know when It will come, but it still might come this fall, though.

RWCTV · 08-15-2002, 08:06 AM

Actually the 4th season started out where Lucy went to California. It was titled "Lucy Goes to Marineland". In this episode, she enrolls her son Jerry in a military school. She also applies at the bank only to see her Danfield nemesis Mr. Mooney working there. You see, it was explained that Mr. Mooney was transferred and that he didn't want Lucy to know that he moved to California. She then begs him to hire her after she too is kind of bitter at the fact that she has to work with him again. This is also the episode where Lucy accidentally knocks Jerry's autographed ball out of his hand and in the dolphin tank. In real life, Lucy brought outtakes of this episode to the Steve Allen show.
