  • @GJNCA He was perfect as the exasperated boss in The Lucy Show. He really threw himself into that role. -Michael

  • Ah, they don't make them like this any more. Thanks for your continued efforts to upload classic shows such as this; my family and I enjoy getting to watch them together whenever we have the opportunity to do so.

    "Club, Otto.... Otto Club?!!"

  • @Alkahest I'm happy to know that these shows provide entertainment for your family. That's what they were all about back then and still are today. Thanks -Michael

  • Nevertheless, under Arnaz's encouragement and persuasion, Ball agreed to do the show provided it be shown on Monday nights (the night on which I Love Lucy had aired), and that she would be reunited with Vivian Vance and her writers from I Love Lucy. CBS agreed to a full season of episodes and The Lucy Show premiered on Monday night, October 1, 1962 at 8:30 P.M

    Well I wrote all, lol, hope you like my comments, I Love Lucy like nothing else in the whole world, lol.

    Thank you Michael,

    Rita

  • @AfsAnehAfairytale Very interesting facts, thanks for sharing them. It's fascinating to know that this show almost didn't come to be, when episodes like this one showcase the versatility and brilliance of everyone involved in making it; in fact, not since the I Love Lucy show of old did I laugh quite so hard as I did while watching The Submarine... among many others from TLS! True comedic gems, these are.

  • @AfsAnehAfairytale Looking back, it's surprising that CBS ever doubted Lucy but they made the right decision in the end. Thank you for the background Rita :) -Michael

  • According to Geoffrey Mark Fidelman (author of The Lucy Book - Renaissance Books), it was "never intended for this program to go beyond a single season.

    Sorry for writing three whole comments Michael, but words are limited here.

    I just felt I had to write something about 'The Lucy Show' A great show after 'I Love Lucy'

    Awesome upload Michael, you are Rock Youtube

  • A few things about how 'The Lucy Show' came into being after Lucy's and Desi's divorce and after "I Love Lucy'. Aired from 1962(two years after their divorce)till 1968.

    Arnaz, as President of Desilu Studios, offered Ball an opportunity to return to television in a weekly sitcom.

    t was said at the time that CBS executives were somewhat dubious as to whether Ball could not only carry a show without Arnaz, but also follow such a landmark series as I Love Lucy.

    More to follow,
