Yep, you're right, 'ckri'- I believe this was definitely seen around the final season of "HERE'S LUCY"...the box itself would identify what year it was marketed.
Fantastic! Do you have any of Lucy's other Milton Bradley commercials? I think there are at least additional commercials for Cross-Up, Pivot Pool/Golf, etc.
The other woman, of course, is Lucy's close friend and supporting cast member of "THE LUCY SHOW" and "HERE'S LUCY", Mary Jane Croft/Lewis {she was married to Lucy's former producer Elliott Lewis, who also had a long history of appearing in and producing/directing "classic" radio shows, usually featuring Mary Jane among the cast}. This ad, for which I'm sure Milton Bradley "paid through the nose" to get Lucy to endorse it, probably appeared around 1971.
@garrisonskunk Interestingly, at the time this game was marketed, Milton Bradley was owned by Goodson-Todman productions. The same production company later produced the CBS game show, "Body Language".
WOW!! Body Language was a Board Game before it became a Game Show!!

Technicly, Lucy, headache wouldn't count since you spoke. ;)
Years later Lucy would make one of her final appearences on a CBS gameshow called "Body Language". Reportedly she loved the game of charades.
