Trivia:

The show ended in 1968 as part of the stipulation of the sale of Desilu to Gulf & Western (in January 1968, midway through "The Lucy Show's" final season, the Desilu "animated signature" logo was retired when the company officially became Paramount Television, in favor of a roughly animated Paramount "mountain and stars" logo. The company continued to be known as Paramount Television until September 2006, when, after being purchased by Viacom, it became what is now CBS/Paramount Television).

Quotes:

Lucy Carmichael: Weren't you ever a teenager?
Theodore J. Mooney: Well, of course, what do you think?
Lucy Carmichael: I thought one day they opened the bank vault and out you popped, full grown and stingy!

I want this show released as season sets on DVD!!!

Lucille Ball is the greatest comics of all time. The Lucy Show was a fun, campy show. It was great to see Lucy, Viv, Gale, and Mary Jane all acting together. Fans now have the complete series of I Love Lucy and The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour. I would love to see The Lucy Show released as season sets on DVD. 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?!?!?
