Looking Good! Freddie Prinze's Signature Series, Chico and the Man Launches On TV Land With 48-Hour Marathon Beginning January 20

NEW YORK, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- TV Land will add the breakthrough sitcom Chico and the Man to its all-star lineup beginning with a 48-hour marathon at 6:00am ET on Saturday, January 20. Originally airing from 1974-78, the series -- set in the barrio of East Los Angeles -- was the first of its kind to present a multi-cultural neighborhood to a national television audience. Accompanied by a hit theme song -- written and composed by Jose Feliciano -- Chico and the Man, which has not aired in prime time since its original run -- became a pioneer in American television as it introduced viewers to a vibrant, thriving culture and made Freddie Prinze a household name. Chico and the Man will air weeknights at 12:00 midnight ET/9:00pm PT beginning Monday, January 22.

"Chico and the Man was a cultural touchstone for an entire generation of people and it represented the pinnacle of Freddie Prinze's all too short career," commented Larry W. Jones, Executive Vice President and General Manager of TV Land. "This Emmy Award-winning series has a special place in television's history and we're excited to offer this rare television experience to our viewers."

Chico and the Man embraced the lives of two men, from considerably different ethnic backgrounds, who worked out of a garage located in a predominately Spanish speaking section of Los Angeles. Chico, played by the talented, young comedian Freddie Prinze, was a spirited and enterprising young mechanic who worked for the ill-tempered, cynical old garage owner Ed Brown (Jack Albertson) who griped and grumbled in an Archie Bunker-like fashion. Episodes often involved a comical dispute between the two resulting from their mismatched cultures, although an underlying respect between the characters was apparent.

Regulars appearing on the show were: Louie the garbageman (Scatman Crothers); their mail woman Mabel (Bonnie Boland); Chico's friend Mando (Isaac Ruiz); Reverend Bemis (Ronny Graham); and diner owner Della Rogers (Della Reese). After the death of Freddie Prinze in 1977, the program introduced a new "Chico" in 12-year-old Raul Garcia (played by Gabriel Melgar). Latin sensation, Charo, also made many guest appearances as the boy's "Aunt Charo." Guest stars appearing throughout the series' four seasons included Cesar Romero, Shelley Winters, Jim Backus and Sammy Davis, Jr.

I wish there was a way to send this thread to TV land!

Luckymama58 · 09-22-2003, 06:01 PM

I guess we all got excited..... TVLand should take notice!!!!

CCH, to answer your question, Warner Brothers TV owns the rights to CATM.... and from what I understand TVLand did not get their rights to air it renewed, for whatever reason. That is why I hope Warner Bros finally releases it to the public. I know a lot of people would buy it. Plus I have asked the Halmark channel to consider picking it up.... they are starting to air some situation comedies now, like M*A*S*H.... if you email them, they might listen..... what about it gang?

I have emailed them twice now but to no avail and no response. But i'm not calling it quits yet, and don't forget to vote for it to be released on DVD!!!!
