NOT coming to Hallmark :( - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVJunkie101 · 10-11-2002, 03:15 PM

I just received an e-mail from the Hallmark Channel. They specifically told me that The Lucy Show will not be included in their lineup. It's such a shame. I wonder why they decided not to add it.

HERE IS THE EXACT E-MAIL I GOT:

Thank you for your recent contact with Hallmark channel.

Too bad, their loss and ours.

They never said it was really, just that they're acquiring it. And this doesn't really mean that'll NEVER come to their channel, they might end up making a last minute decision like they did with adding FOL.

Yeah. Exactly. Hallmark wasn't exactly clear by what they meant, but it could show up eventually, just not in the immediate future.

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, 10:49 PM

I am just plain out disappointed.

I think we all are. I was in disbelief when I got that e-mail. I mean, I had heard rumors around boards that Hallmark changed their minds, but I always ignored it, but now, from Hallmark themselves... ugh. Figures they'd go with Hogan's Heroes and Beverly Hillbillies (both have run their course! sheesh! and both just left TV Land this year! BH leaves after December, HH left in May)

I really don't know what to believe about Hallmark. On the general discussion board, Pavanbadal last week said that "The Lucy Show" is indeed coming to Hallmark in January, the email department for Hallmark's email department was wrong. Well, Hallmark emailed me today. Here's what they said

"Thank you for your recent contact with Hallmark channel.
Unfortunately, plans to air "The Lucy Show" fell through and as a result we will not be airing the series. We appreciate your interest and we thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts."

Well, I would think Hallmark's email department would be up to date by now. But then again, Pavanbadal is usually right. I don't really know but I sure hope I'm watching "The Lucy Show" come January. I know I'm still going to email Hallmark everyday suggesting it.

TVJunkie101 · 10-14-2002, 06:54 PM

Pav, have you heard anything?

hazelfanatic · 10-14-2002, 10:23 PM

I just got an e-mail from Hallmark and they said it is not going to air at all. I'm SO disappointed!!!

LucyFan · 10-14-2002, 10:34 PM

Here is what they sent me:

Thank you for your recent contact with Hallmark channel.
We were looking forward to including "The Lucy Show" in the Hallmark channel lineup. Unfortunately, we ran into difficuties in obtaining the rights to air the series.....The failure to fulfill the expectation, or hope, of airing the series is as much a disappointment to us as it is to our fans.
We appreciate your interest and we thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

I take it we aren't going to see the one and only The Lucy Show.

SPLAIN · 10-15-2002, 11:13 AM

Do what i did Jen, get copies made by someone who has them, and tell hallmark to take a long walk on a short pier!

It is official, Hallmark does not have a deal with The Lucy Show. Sorry, they should have never even listed in the first place, because they didn't keep their word. Second time this has happened, first with The Color Honeymooners and now The Lucy Show. As of now, the other shows are in tact and have deals.

Sorry Lucy Show fans. Bombard them with emails and tell them why did you list it in the first place?

Viewer Services was 1 out of 2, they were wrong about the Hogan's Heroes date.

oldshows · 10-15-2002, 04:52 PM

Don't worry, I've been bombarding them everyday and will continue to do so along with TVLand. Someone is going to pick up "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy" or I'm going to continue flood their email.
