I was browsing the tvland scheduale and noticed Tvland was airing the episode "Uncle Sonny" . 2:00pm central time. Is this a possible trend or special happening this weekend.

hue_mee · 08-11-2002, 09:48 AM

unfortunately this particular episode does not involve our sweet Freddie!! Drats! Anyone know what is going on with TVLand?

It's airing as part of TV Land's 'Box Set'. This Sunday's theme is "One Role, Two Actors". TV Land doesn't have any more CATM episodes scheduled for this month.

Are you serious??!! - no Freddie in this episode? Well then as far as I'm concerned it's a waste of their time and energy to even play it!! I had gotten my VHS all ready and primed up for a new episode that I hadn't seen before and now I know why. I had stopped watching CATM after I had seen a few episodes without our dear PrinZe! It just wasn't the same!!!! I guess I'll go take my tape out and now I certainly won't get as excited about seeing it this afternoon - BUMMER!!!! Thanks Suzanne for the heads up!!!!!

You are so right catcopy. Without the Prinze Magic to carry the show it would be a waste of time to watch it. I'm sure even Jack would agree with our opinion. BTW....love you avatar...very cool.

I know I have said it before and I'll say it again. for the two for one role they could have chosen the invention episode because Jack played Ed and the rich guy who scammed the scam artist. A much better choice in my humble opinon

MariposaLKB · 08-12-2002, 12:50 PM

I agree, Joy! That was one of the funniest things ever seen on CATM--particularly when Jack nearly hit Freddie in a very sensitive spot with his cane LOL! I can just imagine it was accidental on Jack's part and Freddie's reaction (starting to cover himself with his hands, then apparently realizing how that would look to the audience and simply changing his position to stand on Jack's other side) was purely instinctive! But it made the scene that much funnier!

Joy · 08-12-2002, 07:13 PM

Mariposa,
as my 92 year old aunt says, believe it or not by ripley I caught that scene the first time I saw it-unlike so many other classic moments and I loved it!
Don't you wish they would find some blooper footage of those two? That could be valuable!!!

MariposaLKB · 08-12-2002, 07:24 PM

Joy, unlike you, I had to have someone point that bit out to me, and I ran right for my tape and checked it out hee hee! And I have seen the "Star Trek" blooper reel, but I know that if there were a CATM one, it would have that beat by a looong mile LOL! Considering Freddie's reputation as a practical joker I can just imagine!

Cheryl Harrell · 08-13-2002, 02:47 AM

I can understand them wanting to finish out the season. But what they should've done instead of continuing was finish out the season writing Chicos death in there & paying tribute to him & the show. Raul was a cute & precocious kid & I liked him but it was no Chico. What I hated was how they wrote Chico out as going to visit his Father in Escanida & didn't tell he had died until much later. Come on we deserved to know the truth & have it reflected in the show & ended out the season tributing him & then the show go off tv except for re-runs. I thought the show died with Freddie then found out they were getting Raul. They made such a big deal of it for awhile. I still watched it & liked it but it was no Freddie. The Freddie yrs were the best. We lost a dear boy way too soon...

tylersmistress2002 · 08-13-2002, 04:17 PM

Not to take away from the little boy who played the part...but....he was NOT Chico. The show should just have been cancelled after Freddies untimely passing. I cannot watch the episodes after he was gone.....it was just a painful reminder.

Joy · 08-13-2002, 06:51 PM

My sentiments exactly TylersM! I did start to watch the sonny episode but i kept expecting Chico to come along and it was too much and the way they tried to cover up the door to his apartment like it wasn't even there was too sad. If it's painful for us just imagine what poor jack had to endure for the reainder of the shows run,the professional that he was.

hue_mee · 08-13-2002, 07:18 PM

When the Chico and the man aired that weekend, I had high hopes to see Chico again till I looked up the episode finding no Freddie involved. I saw bits and pieces of it. The scene showing the apartment creeped me out knowing that Chico wasn't coming out anytime soon, I turned the channel imediately wishing TVLand would air the series over again and if they aired the CATM again for any other type of propaganda to attract any viewers that they would show a Freddie episode.

Joy · 08-13-2002, 08:02 PM

I agree that was creepy and I think they should bring CATM back on get smart, beaver, Mannix and Gunsmoke have been on forever
