The Lucy Show

One of the most popular television comedies of all time, The Lucy Show was the follow up to the equally successful I Love Lucy. Whilst I Love Lucy was pre-dominantly set in New York, The Lucy Show saw Lucille switch to the West Coast, working at a bank as secretary to Mr Carmichael. The series would eventually feature guest appearances from fellow celebrities, all of whom wanted to either open accounts or had some dealings with the bank. Not surprisingly, Lucille s attempts to assist invariably went wrong. Sometimes things went wrong that weren t in the script the very first show in this set, Lucy And Viv Put In A Shower, sees Lucy and Viv trying to install a shower in order to save paying a plumber and become trapped inside as it continues to fill with water. Midway through filming, Lucy was unable to return to the surface and was in danger of drowning. Her co-star Vivian Vance realized something was wrong and pulled her to safety, then ad-libbed whilst Lucy got her breath back. The remaining cast and crew and live audience were completely unaware of the problem until told after the show was completed. The thirty episodes in this box set has guest appearances from John Wayne, Jack Benny, Phil Silvers, Tennessee Ernie Ford and Robert Boulet, among others, and feature Lucy in one mishap after another.
