Lucy Show season 1 intro

[Thompsonnw]

Lucille Ball & Gake Gordon had a great bond together.

[lookhear49]

This brings back great memories!

I don't remember the intro to the first season of The Lucy Show , but I love that cute opening .

Just an FYI, The Official Third Season of "The Lucy Show" is being released on DVD November 30, 2010!

I wonder why the first season wasnt in color? from the 3rd season on it was.

[ericdn62782]

@LucyLover1000 CBS at the time had a policy of not airing sitcoms in color. However, Lucille Ball realized that the show would earn more money in syndication if it were in color, even if the episodes would originally be broadcast in black and white. Episodes were filmed in color beginning with season 2, though CBS began broadcasting the series in color only starting with season 4.

[depolarized]

There is this one episode of the Lucy show where she has to get a letter from a french actor for her boss, and when she gets drunk off champagne she sings "je nes sais pas what to do"

does anyone know what song that is from if it's an actual song?

[defundthewar]

@depolarized Judy croaked the lyrics to "Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup." Nat King Cole had a big hit with it, and Dean Martin and others sang it. The French actor was Jacques Bergerac, who for a time was married to Peyton Place's Dorothy Malone.

[depolarized]

@defundthewar Thanks so much! I found it though, after a couple more hours of looking until I found the actual episode, and was able to find the rest of the lyrics to it. I like her version better than the professional ones though, she totally should of did it in full :).

[defundthewar]

I could be wrong, but wasn't this briefly called "The Lucille Ball Show" and then became "The Lucy Show" ?

[gnulinuxman]

@defundthewar Yes it was.

[Beejjjjjj]

@defundthewar , "The Lucille Ball Show" was a working title before it went on the air. But from the moment of it's initial broadcast on October 1, 1962, it was always called "The Lucy Show." One other piece of trivia: "The Lucy Show" premiered at 8:30 PM the night of October 1, 1962 to much fanfare. Three hours later that same night, over on NBC, Johnny Carson made his debut as the host of "The Tonight Show."

The Official Second Season of The Lucy Show is being released on DVD, July 13, 2010! It's in Color, and co-stars Vivian Vance!

[patsaxon]

I thought that the "Lucy Show" was the very best of Lucy Ball! Even more funnier than the "I love Lucy" show! Her and Mr. Moony was so funny as he cracks me up when he gets mad at her!

[patsaxon]

I always like the music to this show!

[nondescriptnyc]

Nick at Night used to do reruns ALL THE TIME in the early to mid 1990s, but they totally stopped... I miss this show so much.

[wickedcoolally]

At 0:24, it says The Lucy Ho!

[markedwardindc]

I believe that "The Lucy Show" with Lucy and Viv as a widow and divorcee sharing a house with their kids in Connecticut displays some of the greatest and funniest things that these two wonderful comidiennes ever did!

[handinside]

I remember that JELL-O was their sponsor. At the end of the opening they did a brought to you by JELL-O pitch which ended with the cartoon Lucy

and Viv turning into dessert dishes. Crazy.

[Lilita421]

This intro is for the first season of The Lucy Show, to me the very very very best of Lucille Ball's sitcoms!!

This first season will be released in July. I just hope that the DVD set will include the episodes that were in Black /White. So far, I have my doubts because the box cover says Color, I saw it in Amazon.

[gothiccitizen]

ugh! My sis adores Lucy shows lol

[steven1660]

The official complete first season is coming out on July 21st, 2009!

[fromthesidelines]

There certainly was, 'meow'; in fact, Desi had planned to spin "Fred & Ethel" off into their own series in 1957, but Vivian refused to even consider such an arrangement (that's how much she couldn't stand working with Bill). She had a chance to star in Desilu's "GUESTWARD HO!" in 1959, but never got past the unaired pilot. Joanne Dru replaced her when it became a short-lived series in 1960.

[meowfit]

This was more to do with "I Love Lucy", but I understood there to be a personality conflict between Vivian Vance and William Frawley.

[handinside]

I know about Lucy and Desi getting divorced,but whatever became of William Frawley? why did he leave the cast?

[greennice]

William Frawley did not appear in The Lucy Show except in a brief cameo in 1966. He appeared as Bub on My Three Sons from 1960-65.

[prchristman]

I'll add that William Frawley was written out of My Three Sons when the producers felt that health issues made him too much of a risk to keep on. Frawley died in March 1966. His brief 1965 cameo on The Lucy Show is on YouTube.

[vzeu019j]

Who Doesn't love Lucy, honestly!

[travis7310]

No one that I know of! :)

[MsAllosaurus]

@vzeu019j Probably two people who voted dislike.

[mearte]

I love Lucy!.

Watch my videos.

[rejoha07]

Does anyone remember the episode where Lucy tries to teach Ricky the difference between the pronunciation of the sound "ough", eg, such as, through vs. enough? The name of the episode? A link to it? Thanks, rejoha07

[ousooner280]

The episode is called lucy hires an english tutor and its from the second season i dont have a link to it

[Italiagirl1]

I LOVE LUCY! I've loved her since I was five We will never forget you Lucille!

[wahoo76]

How come Lucy's nose disappears when she looks to camera, but Viv's doesn't?

[Donniesgirl16]

im only 15, but i watch this show with my mom XD I think its funny XD I even named my brothers pet mice fred and ethel *i dont know how to spell that*

[broadwayystarrrr]

omgsh! i love this show too, but i'm 14. haha big dif, right?

:)maddi.

[Donniesgirl16]

lol cool :)

[lonniedel]

The Lucy Show was the best, and I too, can watch this opening theme all day.

[dolphinLoveR1120]

i love this show!!

[Bartman411]

The initial B & W season (1962-1963) is my favorite season - lots of physical comedy and slapstick! Lucy & Viv were a great comedy team!! If there is a Heaven, I'm sure they're making St. Peter laugh!!

[Garysc6]

"Life with Lucy" in the 80's although only airing for half a season and again co starring Gale Gordon was also absolutely hilarious..i couldn't believe it didn't catch on

[Garysc6]

The lucy show and Here's Lucy are so much better and there are so many episodes we haven't seen as they never rerun them.

[Garysc6]

"The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy" are far better and they should show them more because there are many episodes we have not seen as they never rerun.

[Garysc6]

I'm a huge Lucy fan but I think "The Lucy Show" is the best. "I Love Lucy" is so dated but more importantly I've seen every episode a zillion times and so has everyone else yet they keep showing them.

[clemsonfight]

Well you can't deny I love Lucy is a classic. We still love to watch it when it comes on, it brings back memories and such. :P

[nycruise]

The animated titles bring to mind the original ILL titles.

Too bad the show - and Vivian Vance's committment - ultimately fell far short of expectations.

[kissmebaby341]

cute,but i love lucy was better,damm skippy for sure!

[ChristianWithNES]

I can watch this intro all day!

[mplsmn]

Count me in on this too.....ah, it takes me back more than 25 years....I love it!

[maleadmirer]

I too enjoy viewing the opening credits. I thought I was the only one enjoying these opening credits

[Starlet21]

That's cute!

[bisnagaboy]

I always loved that theme!

[dougiefresh135]
