I still have not found a CATM TV Guide on EBAY under $5.00 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 11-22-2003, 12:35 PM

It seems like every CATM TV Guide is 5.00 starting and S/h is $3.00 and there is no way I'm paying $8.00 for a 1974 TV Guide. That is too much. But i will keep looking for a cheaper TV Guide because I do want to read what critics were saying about the show at the time it was on NBC.

I have two Tv Guide Articles with Covers posted at Ed Brown's Garage main site. They are listed in the "Chico's apartment- Luckymama and Hue Mee take a vist".
Take a look over there and enjoy. Let them know what you think in the forum at Ed Brown's Garage too. Ed Brown's Garage

It has taken me a while to find this but I knew I had seen the TVGuides for a lot less than that. Here'sone that starts at 99 cents.
There's another one that's listed at $3.99. Now it is starting to get a little harder to find but if you check often, there are usually at least one and most of the starting prices I have seen are 99 cents or $1.99. Just keep at it Sitcom Analyzer!

Yes I have a bid on that TV guide already. Thanks for letting me know. I was so surprised to see the TV Guide starting at .99 because moat start at $4.00 ans s/h is usually $2.50. So I hope i win the auction.

Dear Sitcom Analyzer:

What is your interest in CHICO AN THE MAN anyway?? Are you
in a position to do something to bring the show back on the air?
I never usually post on the message boards but this is really bugging me. I'm sure all us Freddie fans have tapes and memorabilia we could send you if we thought you were in a position to help bring the show back. Is this true or am I just reading into your posts?

I'm still in the process of finding out what critics were saying about the show when it was on the air. I have not come across anything yet.

Joy · 01-02-2004, 01:10 PM

I have wondered the same thing myself because it seems to me that rather than an interest in the show Sitcoms analyzer is trying to upset Freddie fan's with his remarks and criticism.
If i am wrong I certainly apologize but given our past encouragement and help to you and our words of praise regarding our beloved CATM you still are not satisfied.
If you are able to help bring the show back into syndication I hope you do.
And if you do have a genuine interest in the show and it's stars you'll find no better place to come to than this board for anything you want to know.
Again if i have misjudged your intentions here i am sorry.

Once again, i'm just trying to find out what critics were saying about the show in the 70's

Luckymama58 · 01-02-2004, 03:25 PM

Sitcom Analyzer,

I think what you are trying to find out is laudable, but might be hard. I did ask the televisionary on tvguide.com where we could research critical reviews of the show from issues dating 1974-1978, but unfortunately you would have to look at the televisionary page every day to see if I would get an answer, they don't email people.

When I put the show's title in a google search, something I have not done in ages, I was surprised to find 14+ pages of links!

I found one kinda down far on the list, I think around page 5...

http://www.ipsonet.org/congress/5/papers_pdf/go.pdf

I went to the site, and it is a treatise some professor did on the show. The article itself is facinating, and cites many critical reviews of the time, including footnotes for the sources. Maybe that would be a start to find the information you are looking for. Even tho the treatise is contemporary, the author does sound like he did a lot of research into what people thought of the show back when it was on the air.

I hope this helps.

Marie

Thanks for the link to the article Lucky! That was informative. Hope SugarPie comes back more often.

I think I might have answered part of your question. I was able to obtain a TV Guide from nov 23 of 1974 fairly cheap on eBay. I will post the four pages here. It is about the show, not the actors. The article was kinda interesting, especially since the show was in its first season when this was written. I hope this helps, Sitcom Analyzer.

The 6 CATM episodes that were pulled out of the schedule for re-working & touchup. Were those ever aired? If not what happened to them I wonder? Just wondering....
