I remember the morning reruns of this show on CBS around 1968-1969. I think the line-up in order was The Lucy Show 10:00, The Beverly Hillbillies, 10:30, The Andy Griffith Show 11:00, The Dick Van Dyke Show 11:30. A 10A to 12N block of reruns of CBS hit nighttime shows from earlier seasons. If my memory serves me correctly, CBS joined the Lucy Show closing theme at the 11-second mark on this video, skipping the credits for the main stars since the opening credits took care of it.
These credits spell out "class", from Wilbur Hatch's unforgettable version of the closing theme, to the "Lucy" icon behind the credits [that was to her what Jackie Gleason's "matchstick" caricature was to HIS closing credits for his '60s variety show, and the original end credits of "THE HONEYMOONERS" in the '50s]. Incidentally, the sponsor's product appeared in the lower left-hand corner in the original network broadcasts...

@mikeeiland1 You are correct--and they slowed it down as well.
