I Love Lucy which had been airing on The Hallmark Channel since it was purchased from TV Land has been turned off. Hallmark picked up I Love Lucy when the show's contract with TV Land expired at the end of 2008. It began airing the show in January 2009 but only 8 months later after moving the show around to various timeslots throughout the day and night has decided to call it quits. So this means I Love Lucy is totally off the schedule now and for the first time in 58 years is not shown anywhere nationally on TV sets across America.Will it return sometime on Hallmark or will they sell it off to another network, only time will tell. This classic and timeless treasure has been hushed and this is a sad day for us Lucy fans.
You can contact the Hallmark Channel and politely suggest they return I Love Lucy to the daytime schedule or sale the contract to another network that will continue to air this all-time American classic.

I'm glad ILL left Hallmark ... that network treated the series horribly. The series deservces better treatment than what it got there. Adios Hallmark ....

i love lucy is not off the air.
it was just sold to a different network and most ppl cant find it now thats all. but our beloved show is still running strong.
Thanks "Anonymous" for your comment, but to reiterate from the story above, I Love Lucy is not shown anywhere 'nationally' on TV sets across America. That means no big national broadcast station is showing the program. You may have smaller local channels showing the program but nothing nationally. This is the first time that has ever happened. It's great you can still get it on your Channel in your area, but for other people, even in the New York City area where I live, we do not get the program at any time on any of the cable stations.
