Chico and the Man is the only sitcom I have not seen from the 1970's that last 4 or more seasons

[fbj]

Looks like this show will never been in syndication or DVD so it will never have a new generation of fans like all the other shows from the 70's. I can understand the DVD but you would think it would atleast air on digital TV like Me-TV or Antenna TV. It would be nice to watch the 1st two seasons to see what made the show a great hit

"Chico and the Man" was a popular prime time Tv show.

But in today's hyper PC infected media.

It has joined "Amos 'n' Andy" as a show forever banned. ...

Chico and the Man ran from 1974 to 1978, so it's unlikely that anyone under 40 would know about it.

I vaguely remember it, as funny and enjoyable.


But I was pretty young.

Most people under 40 dont know about it because it was not in syndication in the 80's and 90's. It also was never on cable

Amos 'n' Andy was banned decades ago because the show featured comical black racial stereotype's as part of its humor.

Yet the comedy Laurel & Hardy used racial stereotypes as part of its humor and is still sometimes shown on Tv.

But that is ok because the two characters are white. ...

Why would chico and the man be banned?

Because those two shows caricatured whites. If Chico and the Man had had the foresight to include a buffoonish white next-door neighbor like Tom Willis, it would be a mainstay today.

I have a vague memory that CHICO died tragically-----maybe suicide---or something---will try to find the information
