Hello. I have almost the entire Chico and the Man series & I'm currently in talks with NBC seeking permission to post the series on KZread. I need support. I don't want to anger NBC by having 100s of people email them, so I thought a petition would be a better way to show that there's interest in the series. Can I count on your support to sign the petition asking NBC to allow me to post the series here? (& if it's not too much to ask, please spread the word about the petition) Thank you.

How exactly was he a genius??? lol....the man had terrible mental health issues. He was nuts. Paranoid. Egotistical. He wanted to murder people at one point. Hardly a genius. His stuff is hardly funny when you watch it now.

that was a great ali impression.

George Foreman was a good sport to do this skit.

Foreman losing to Ali might have been the best thing to happen to George Foreman. After that loss, Foreman took a deep, introspective look at the direction his life was taking, realized he wanted something different - and became in many respects, to my mind, a National Treasure.

@Ben Rounds And many of us still think he's a great man. He is still my hero; even after all the hate and racism he faced, in spite of his many contributions, and goldiggers digging up dirt long past the statutes of limitations. I can relate to his most hateful situation because l too endured/am enduring racism due to jealousy. If the judicial system were to open up cases of unfair lynchings and kangaroo courts in recent history, it could prove overwhelming. At times l am outraged when l think about it.

Freddie’s Ali impression is VERY funny!! Thanks 4 postin this classic clip from a gifted comic.

Chico and the Man of course. To be honest, we don’t need the entire series. We just need only the episodes featuring Prinze. He did 39 shows i think. Once he passed and they kept it goin, the show sucked.

@@ghanasoul Yea, maybe I'll just post those episodes, assuming NBC gives me permission. (you know how big media corporations are) I researched & the show hasn't been in TV syndication in more than a decade, it's never been officially released on VHS, DVD, or BlueRay, and it's not available via any streaming service. (I got an unofficial DVD copy of the series, online, for $25) I've been emailing every programming director, marketing & PR executive at NBC (can't find email for NBC's legal dept.) & asking if they'll give me permission. (via email, so I can show KZread, if/when they give me a take down notice for copyright infringement) I really hope NBC does. They have nothing to lose & can gain only appreciation & goodwill if they grant me permission to post the episodes. (and would make a lot of Chico fans, very happy) If I can't get permission, I might just post them anyway & just see what happens. I see people have the entire "The Rifleman" series here, and it hasn't been taken down. I really wish I could get just 100 signatures on my petition. I think it might help a little. Anyway, thanks for your reply. Stay safe. :)

Freddie was the best , clean comedy , if he had lived he would have been the greatest ,, god bless Chico and the man .

He was gone just about 2 months after this. :(

The things George had to do to pay the bills. He fortunately did get to redeem himself. Thanks for the memories Champ.

I was a teen and a big fan when Freddie passed. I learned life isn’t perfect after all.

I have never seen this footage before I enjoyed it Two all time greats George Foreman and Freddie Prinze 😊

@@armandocervantes6291 Nope. There are no plans or interest in streaming & the show has been out of TV syndication for over a decade. (& there's zero chance of a DVD/BlueRay boxset release) Sadly It's just one of those shows that will forever be lost to history. And for whatever it's worth, the executive at Warner Brother's was very polite. She's a very powerful & high up exec & she didn't even have to reply to my email. But she did & that+ was nice of her. I just wish she would've gave me permission to post some Chico videos. I don't understand what it could hurt. There is NO money to be made off the series. It's a dead series. Anyway, you can always buy the crappy (quality) DVD boxset like I did, for $25. The transfer quality is crap, the episodes are not in order, and the commercials aren't edited out, but I guess it's better than nothing. (barely) The 5 episode "TV Favorites" from Warner Bros. is excellent. A+ quality.

Loved Freddy. He, and Ali were good friends, and he use to spar with him. His son said he framed a bloody towel when he bloodied Ali with a left. Ali, another childhood hero of mine.

Freddie didn’t seemed to thrilled to be there honestly. Especially afterwards during his defeat speech. I could imagine he didn’t like being called just Chico since no one even said Freddie

why would talented people like Marvin Gaye and Freddie lost their cool over the phone merely arguing with female on the phone.
