Desi Arnaz was the business genius ... among other "firsts", he insisted each episode be recorded on *movie film*, using 3 cameras, in front of a live studio audience. (It's my understanding the "laugh tracks" from the shows are still used today)

teresa2885, I record all the episodes which in my area come on the Hallmark Channel, as my husband and I end our night together we watch several episodes of “I Love Lucy “ before going to sleep. I never get tired of watching her show and I love each and every episode even if I have seen it a hundred times. No comic can come close to matching her talent.

The censors would not allow the cast to say the word "pregnant" on the air so they refered to Lucy's condition as "Expecting".

She was an awesome dramatic actress too.

Player Lala, more 1sts, Desi obtained rights to the films, which became the first "reruns" of American television. It made him a fortune.

A comedic genius, she was also one of the first comediennes that didn't try to objectify herself for laughs. (Phyllis Diller for example). She proved that she could be funny AND beautiful at the same time.
She was the inspiration for Gilda Radner as well.

Player Lala, it's weird hearing dead people laugh

Player #13098313, the censors were offended by the word pregnant! talk about snowflakes. Black people watching the show doesn't mean they didn't care that Black actors didn't get those opportunities.

SOOTI, you mean like twin beds for married couples and even so the man had to keep one foot on the floor? no people of color or gay characters? i think you are confused about when politically correct ruled the airwaves. BTW, yesterday's entertainment plays every day in reruns. so, what???

Really? Their children were both named after their parents?

I loved watching her, miss her antics so much!
Player #13098313
Player #19895132, No it isn't and wasn't disrespectful. People then just weren't such snowflakes and offended by everything. Millions of blacks loved this show as well.
SOOTI
I remember watching this when I was very young, and it was absolutely brilliant. Such a pity that so much of yesterday's entertainment wouldn't be allowed today, because of the politically correct brigade, when no disrespect was intended at the time.

I've seen most of her work, and I miss her very much.

I Love Lucy is a great show!
Player Eeyore
I heard, on a show about I Love Lucy, that Vivian Vance and William Frawley did not get along in real life. Vance detested Frawley and he despised her.

Player #3026751, it wasnt like that in those years it like that now
Player #3026751
I loved that show. But I always wondered how Desi being Cuban & Lucy being white got the go ahead to air that show on tv. I'm surprised they weren't boycotted. Thankfully they didn't but I always wondered why & how they were on tv.
