I Love Lucy Marathon on Hallmark on July 11; Bio TV July 2010 Has Married with Children Biography and Return of Celeb Ghost Stories
The Hallmark Channel has had a consistent schedule since Who's the Boss? joined the line-up on May 17 with really no changes besides minor ones like the one happening on July 12 and the addition of The Partridge Family on weekend mornings. We have the August 2010 schedule and, as of now, the schedule is also the same, so fans should be happy. We will certainly have the fall schedule by the end of the month in our annual cable fall schedules barrage. So stay with us for that!
This month (July 2010) on Biography Channel will see the premiere of Biography: Married... with Children on Tuesday, July 14. A look at the over-the-top and controversial sitcom about a dysfunctional Chicago family that lasted 11 seasons on TV. The crude antics of the family's disgruntled father Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill), his tacky wife Peg (Katey Sagal), his ditzy daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate), and girl-chasing son Bud (David Faustino) delighted some viewers and offended others. The show was a huge departure from the picture-perfect families viewers often saw on television, but even as it ruffled feathers, the show represented a more realistic picture of the everyday problems that Americans were dealing with in the late '80s and '90s. The Biography premieres on July 14 at 10pm and encores at 2am. Surrounding this premiere will be encores of Biography episodes on Woody Harrelson, Ed O'Neill, and Carroll O'Connor.
Also of note, Biography: Rosie O'Donnell premieres on Tuesday, July 21 at 10pm. This premiere will be surrounded by encores of Biography episodes of fellow comedians Robin Williams, Chevy Chase, and Kirstie Alley.
The season premiere of Celebrity Ghost Stories is on Saturday, July 17 at 9pm and will feature stories on Michael Imperioli, Joan Collins, Donna D'Errico, and Corey Feldman. Other episodes for the month will have Tracey Gold, Alice Cooper, Fred Dryer, and Katherine Erbe on Saturday, July 24 and Billy Baldwin, Tracy Nelson, Tempestt Bledsoe, and Eric Balfour on Saturday, July 31.
