    • Trivia
      The last filmed episode of Lucy Meets the Mustache (1960) was the last time Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz would work together. Immediately after filming, Lucille Ball filed for divorce. This episode - and the background drama of these 2 - had been subsequently talked about. (Edie Adams discussed in detail that during the filming - and especially whilst she was singing, Lucy's eyes were visibly red... from crying. Though Ms Adams says no one on the set discussed, or even knew exactly what was going on).
    • Quotes

      Lucy Ricardo: But how's Ricky ever going to find out who took the pearls?

      Ethel Mertz: He'll ask me and I'll confess.

      Lucy Ricardo: Why?

      Ethel Mertz: Because while he's asking me, he'll have his fingers around my throat!

    • Alternate versions
      A crucial scene from The Celebrity Next Door (1957) has been omitted on TV broadcasts as well as from the video version, even from the so-called complete prints titled "We Love Lucy". Fred gets splattered with strawberry pie, he retreats to the kitchen with Ethel, and Lucy says how humiliated she is. Tallulah Bankhead quickly & personally said "Oh, forget it darling. This is my lucky night, I'm allergic to strawberries. They give me hives!" Lucy and Tallulah then banter back and forth for a moment. The tail end of this scene is missing in recent prints, where Ricky asks if Tallulah would like some coffee. This brief missing scene sets up what happens among the final scenes, where Tallulah Bankhead broke out in hives.

    I want ALL Lucy shows to be released on DVD.

    Lucille Ball is the greatest comic of all time. All of Lucy's shows were fun, light, and campy. It was great to see Lucy, Ricky, Fred, Ethel, and then Lucy, Viv, Gale, the kids, and Mary Jane all acting together. Fans now have the complete series of I Love Lucy and The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour. I hope to see complete series releases of The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, and Life With Lucy. All of these shows are important parts of Lucy's television history. If you haven't voted yet, please do so at tvshowsondvd.com. Maybe we will get some good news on a future release!! The more votes, the more fans can show their enthusiasm!! Can you imagine owning all the Lucy shows in your own collection?!?!?
