    THIS IS SO WONDERFUL TO SEE. I TRULY LOVE LUCILLE BALL . I REMEMBER WHEN SHE LEFT THIS WORLD, ( I WAS A YOUNG GIRL AT THE TIME ) IT REALLY BROKE MY HEART TO THINK SHE WAS NO LONGER A PART OF THIS LIFE. I REMEMBER I CRIED FOR (2)TWO DAYS. IT ALSO BROKE MY HEART WHEN I LEARNED THAT DESI AND LUCY WAS DESOLVING THEIR MARRIAGE. I KNEW THAT THEIR LIVES WENT ON, BUT I TRULY KNOW THAT " I LOVE LUCY WAS THE BEST. " LUCY AND DESI WAS GREAT TOGETHER. I MISS THEM GREATLY. REST IN ETERNALY HOLY PEACE DESI AND LUCILLE. I LOVE YOU BOTH.🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👁👁

    I read "she would try anything." I been watching ILL for ages; one can never dismiss Vivian Vance--she was a genius and ILL wouldn't have been the same without her. Am I right? When the contract was renewed for 8 million, today's equivalent would be 91 million dollars.

      Yes, you're right, except for your abbreviation of "I Love Lucy." Lucille Ball is said to have seen that on a script and said, "I don't want to do a show that's 'ill'." So from then on the only abbreviation was "Lucy."

      I love Lucy the show and the person - have seen at least 15 of her movies that I think are really good. Also I called them The Fabulous Four - all did their part making this tv show the wonderful show it was. As Desi said once that no matter where he and Lucy went people always asked about Fred Mertz.

Rocky (Marciano) My Grandpa was Harry Kid Matthews, but my Grandpa's manager, aka the "Professer," wouldn't allow my Grandpa's full boxing name in that episode.

    What a legend--the woman and her career (she did some movies, too, you know). It's a shame they didn't keep Dick Martin in "The Lucy Show," but much of the original situation--Lucy and Viv doing home repairs, the kids, Harry next door and Viv's boyfriend Eddie--was pushed aside in the second season because Gale Gordon was available and the show gradually became Lucy vs. Mr. Mooney. (Vivian Vance was looking to leave anyway.) "Here's Lucy" was as good at it was (not very, much of the time, depending too much on repeated gags and celebrity guest stars) because of Desi Arnaz Jr. at the height of his hotness, and Lucie Arnaz growing as a performer. I never saw the last show because everybody who did said the same thing: it was painful to watch. But "I Love Lucy" will be avidly watched forever.

      Desi directed the first season of the Lucy show but then left in part because he couldn’t stand Gary and Lucy insisted he would have a job at the firm (he lived off of her money). Vivian left cause Lucy wouldn’t give her more power/say the show. Here’s Lucy is a nepo show. Living with Lucy was terrible, she didn’t want to do it, but Gary and his hunger for money convinced her. Mame was also a big failure… Desi told her not to do it because her comedy style was different from the movie….
