Expected More for Such a Big Shakeup
kgraovac4 November 2023
Lucy Carmichael and her kids are now new residents of California - but they're not the only ones. SUPRRISE! - Lucy's about to run into her "favorite" banker there too.

The format has now officially changed. Vivian Vance is no longer on the show, nor are Candy Moore or Ralph Hart. Jimmy Garrett's only here for the transition and will make his final appearance on the Christmas episode.

A lot of monumental events are explained or dismissed in a few sentences. Viv has remarried, Chris is in college. The only big change we actually see is Jerry being accepted to military school by guest star Harvey Korman. Then it's off to Marineland so Lucy can clown in the water with the seals and the dolphins.

I wish they had scripted something different and at least let us see a tearful goodbye to Viv and Chris.

This is the first show done with one camera and Lucy's comedy never plays as well without an audience.

Lucie and Desi Arnaz Jr are seen in the bleachers at Marineland and have small speaking parts.
