Trivia:
The show came about because of a business transaction. In 1968, "The Lucy Show" (1962) had been running for 6 seasons, and the ratings remained solid. Lucille Ball sold the Desilu studio that year, however, so in order to retain ownership of her series, she ceased production on "The Lucy Show" and created "Here's Lucy". The new series had a slightly different plot and new character names (plus roles for Lucy's kids), but continued with the same cast and timeslot. more

It bewilders me at the thought that Lucy still wanted to bring back her wacky and zany character after 6 years on "I Love Lucy" and several years on "The Lucy Show." "Here's Lucy" is more of the same. The box set that is available now is a best of, from all the shows. Which is better idea than actually releasing all the episodes considering many of them were mediocre---at best. The special features in the set is worth the price alone with bloopers and home movies from the show. A rare glimpse into Lucille Ball as a performer and producer.
This show is not "I Love Lucy." It will not make you laugh the same way. "I Love Lucy" made you laugh out loud. All the sitcoms that followed will have you snicker and giggle at most. The reason why is because there very few jokes and funny dialogue between the characters. It is heavily depended on physical comedy by Lucy. A lot of bits and scenes are updated or revised versions of classic scenes in "I Love Lucy." Gale Gordon's character is tired and worn. Lucy's kids make this show a little more entertaining. But without them, this show would not have lasted as long as it has.
Don't expect much here. This show is a C+.
