Luceeee.

One of the most popular shows of the fifties. Its still hillarious and a favorite to watch.

Lucy Trivia Facts

Desi Arnaz was the son of a Cuban senator and a beautiful model.  He was born to great wealth, but he was forced to leave his homeland at the age of 16 during the Batista revolution.

Lucille Ball dropped out of high school when she was 15 to pursue a career as an actress.

The only reason that Lucy became pregnant on the show was that she was pregnant in real life.  The network insisted the word expecting be used instead of the word pregnant.

After I Love Lucy came to an end, Desi Arnaz produced the show The Untouchables. Mobsters responded by putting a contract on his life. Boy talk about taking a tv show too seriously.

During the life of the show, the only other show that ever had higher ratings was " The $64,000 Question."

The network initially rejected Lucy's request for her real husband to play her tv husband. She threatened to move to another network so they gave in.

Dwight D. Eisenhower made the mistake of televising his inauguration during the same time spot as I Love Lucy. Almost twice as many viewers tuned in to watch her show than to watch him.
