CHICO AND THE MAN!!!

That's the only 70's show that has not been a lot in syndication. They have done such a good job in bringing all the other shows back like Alice, Benson, Head of the Class and Silver Spoons so when is CATM going to be appear in syndication again?

I've been waiting forever to see this show again. It's a lost hit.

I wonder if the reason for Chico And The Man not airing in syndication might have something to do with Freddie Prinze? Maybe for whatever reason his family/relatives don't want the episodes to be run on TV. I don't know, I'm just posing a theory.

And other than that Television Favorites DVD that came out years ago which I imagine is now out of print, there are no DVD's of the show either. Strange.

TV Land did air it before I got that channel and the Goodlife Channel aired it later which I didn't have either.

I remember TV Land having it. IIRC, it was early-2001, and I don't even think it made it to that summer. From what I remember reading, it bombed in syndication. Like someone mentioned, I'm guessing Freddie Prinze's death was a reason, considering the show went into syndication just a year or so after.

I remember YEARS ago-it was 1979 or 80-a local station in Philadelphia showed it for a brief time. But it was on Sundays at 2 pm or something.

Chico And The Man would be nice to revisit BUT Room 222 is at the top of my wish list.

Benson has done badly in syndication, at least on TVLand and Antenna.

This is crass, but now that Robert Guillaume is gone, maybe it's cheaper to acquire.
