Hallmark speaks out... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVJunkie101 · 10-11-2002, 03:06 PM

I just recieved an e-mail from Hallmark (I e-mailed them a day or two ago) and they told me that they DO NOT have any plans on adding "The Lucy Show." Which is definitely upsetting news. The news they gave me on Hogan's Heroes has already been released (November 25th) but they told me the time slot it will be given: 4:00pm.

No word on Mork and Mindy or The Beverly Hillbillies. They will probably start airing in January (my assumption).

It's so nice when networks actually give you information, LOL.

Here is the exact e-mail I got.

Thank you for your recent contact with Hallmark channel.
"Hogan's Heroes" will begin airing on Monday, November 25th at 4:00pm (ET&PT). "The Lucy Show" is not going to be included in our line-up of shows. Regarding the other mentioned shows I haven't any information regarding a start up date.
If you like I can keep your address and contact you when/if I am able to confirm the requested informaton.
Thank you for writing.

Well, that is disappointing that they are not adding "The Lucy Show". I think it is even more disappointing that they would approve "Hogan's Heroes" which doesn't seem to fit with the Hallmark image.

Yeah it is upsetting about TLS, but that who knows it might be added later on next year or be suddenly added to a schedule like "The Facts of Life".

Impressions · 10-11-2002, 04:15 PM

*sighs* It is too bad Hallmark would *not* pick up "The Lucy Show" that is very dissapointing and unexpected news, I was expecting "The Lucy Show" to air, but I guess my hopes where to high, maybe some other network will have the nerve to pick the show up.

I thought it was starting the 4th. Oh well.

Then why did Hallmark say they were going to air TLS if they weren't. I hate Hallmark!!!!!!!!!!

They never said they were; All Hallmark did was acquire Paramount programming, and when the news broke, The Lucy Show was listed AMONG the programs Hallmark would have access to.

It would make sense for it to start the 4th, but who knows, LOL. Hallmark probably changed their minds at the last minute.

Any word if Facts of Life is still staying?

Well, this is VERY disappointing. I'm glad to know they might show it one day but I was really expecting it to be on Hallmark's schedule in January. I haven't been able to watch the show in years and was really looking forward to watching. Well, I've waited this long so I guess I can wait a little longer. Of course we can all email Hallmark EVERYDAY requesting they show it. Maybe they might budge. It certainly can't hurt.

LucyFan · 10-11-2002, 10:23 PM

I have no clue how I should feel at this moment. I am both mad and sad. I think it is just awful that The Lucy Show won't be airing soon. I knew it was to good to come true. Most of all, it is a disappointment to the many people who were looking forward to seeing the show. Some were looking forward to it sixth months ago. There's more too: to top it off the 40th anniversary of The Lucy Show just passed and Hallmark (who happens to have the rights to it) didn't even have a marathon of the show nonetheless air one single episode. This is such a shame.

I asked them; but no answer. I'm praying it sticks around.

I agree, it IS such a shame. I was very disappointed when I got that e-mail. It figures Hallmark would choose Beverly Hillbillies and Hogan's Heroes (both have been played to death) over The Lucy Show. I am praying Hallmark adds Mork and Mindy, and I think they will. It was awful that Hallmark ignored The Lucy Show's 40th Anniversary. I mean, they're giving Touched By An Angel a marathon soon, "by popular demand." I mean, I'm so sick of Touched By An Angel, it has run it's course.

I too was looking forward to it. Yeah, it couldn't hurt to e-mail Hallmark every day, that way they'd know there is interest in seeing The Lucy Show. I've e-mailed them asking about other Paramount shows possibly coming in the future (such as "Petticoat Junction") but no response yet.

I hate the Hallmark channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First they cut IDOJ to shreds when they air it.
Then they take away almost all of it's time slots
Now they don't show the Lucy Show, I'm sorry about this happening to yall and me.

:EEK:

I just checked again, it is still coming November 4th. Hallmark Viewer Services better get their facts straight, because the info I got is straight from Hallmark Programming Dept.
I'm checking into this Lucy Show thing now, I doubt it is true, last I heard it is coming in January or so.

Yeah, Pav, you've got that right, they need to get their facts straight. The Viewer Services may have old information they give out because they weren't given the up-to-date stuff? Just an idea, LOL... But yeah, they need to get their facts straight.
