@EmmaLoveJen I dont mean to correct but Here's Lucy was on from 1968-74 not 1969-74. Lucy changed the name and made minor changes to the crew and the character names because in 1968 she sold Desilu Productions and started Lucille Ball Producitons and she wanted full control of Her 3rd series Here's Lucy. When the Lucy show left the air in 1968 it was #2 in the ratings and CBS went a head with Her's Lucy and it was also a commercial success. Too bad "Life With Lucy" didnt fair well it hurt Lucy.

Interview is a great legacy. Here is a man I would not care about at all, but having watched 3 hours of him, I find him a great Horatio Alger story. So wonderful that a guy can become rich and successful following his dreams. As America dissappears bit by bit to become like Europe, we can remember the City on the Hill through men like this.

..:)Great interview Thank you.

How can you say that Tori Spelling as a spoiled American is a warm, classy person. Now Aaron deserves credit for overcoming Texas prejudices against both Jews and gays to crave a business enterprise in LALA land.

[Diane81000]

Yeah I thought so, too. thanks.

Aaron is a great Texas Christian man!

When Aaron is speaking about Lucille Ball, he got mixed up. He's NOT referring to 'The Lucy Show" (1962-1968) or "Here's Lucy (1969-1974). He is referring to "Life with Lucy" that aired on ABC (1986) only for about 8 episodes.

His wonderful personality just radiates on the screen, he was probably even nicer in person I would imagine - just so full of life and enthusiasm - people like that make the world a better place. RIP Aaron.
