The Lucy Show - the official first season

The Lucy Show was Lucille Ball’s return to prime time television after her first successful television series, I Love Lucy—and her well-publicized divorce from Desi Arnaz.  She was initially hesitant to do another weekly series, since she knew the work load involved—and she didn’t know how American audiences would react to her after her divorce. One of the stipulations she had with the new CBS show was that she wanted Desi to be its executive producer, (which he was for the first season), as Lucy knew Desi had the mind and ability to produce a top-rated show.  She also wanted her friend, Vivian Vance, to star along with her. Lucy’s demands were met, with Lucy playing the role of Lucy Carmichael, widow, and Vivian playing the role of Vivian Bagley, a divorcée.  They were two single women, living together, trying to figure out how to live on their own.  It was a very funny series, and I enjoy watching it—I hope you do as well.
