  6. "Strawberry Sensation"
    Teableau for 03/15/26

    A friend sent me this magazine. She's one of two friends with this "secondhand obsession" wherein they don't share my Lucy mania but will get excited on my behalf. ❤️

  7. As the 75th anniversary of "I Love Lucy" approaches, Lucie Arnaz and Bob Greenblatt are preparing a three-season chronicle of the lives, loves and clashes of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, tentatively titled "Lucy and Desi: The Greatest Story Never Told".

  8. "623 East 68th Street"
    Teableau for 11/21/25

    I practically grew up in this apartment, which, if it really existed, would be in the middle of the East River.

  9. Ricky’s mother is played by Mexican actress and singer Margarita Cabazos AKA Mary Emery. Despite not being Cuban, she was hired because she looked A LOT like Desi Arnaz’s actual mother (seen on right)

  10. Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball were married for 20yrs, had 2 children and successfully ran television studio together. A letter by Desi read at Lucy’s Kennedy Center Honors ceremony held just days after his passing famously ended with “‘I Love Lucy” was never just a title” (youtu.be/vNBWBO1svBk?si=5aPyJZ)

  11. @MatthewTitus88 yeah, I found that weird as well since I think you could still go to Cuba until the early 1960s

  12. RE: Fred’s reference: John Bunny was a comedic stage actor and vaudeville comedian who was a popular in the early Vitagraph silent comedies

  13. Little Ricky was played by actor and musician Richard Thibodeaux. The show and the promotional trail would mean that he spent years playing Little Ricky- to the point that he’d become close, lifelong friends with Lucy & Desi’s actual kids (pictured here w/ Desi Arnaz Jr.)

  14. I know they had a lot going on but I would be pretty happy if we’d gotten a Lucy & Desi as glamorous married crime solving team a la Nick & Norah Charles

  15. Mr. Benjamin is played by Frank Nelson, who’s most famous for his appearance as a smarmy customer service dude saying “YEEEES??” In various things but most notably “The Jack benny Show”. Also, he would appear on “I Love Lucy” 11 times as various characters

  16. Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television – The Saturday Evening Post

    Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television
    Desi Arnaz’s story does not begin and end with I Love Lucy.

    By Donald Liebenson

    For readers of a certain age, the name Desi Arnaz probably conjures up an immediate association: his iconic role as Ricky Ricardo, the long-flustered husband of Lucy in I Love Lucy,

    But Arnaz’s story does not begin and end with Lucy. His extraordinary journey from Cuban refugee to self-made showman, movie star, TV trailblazer, and ultimately, entrepreneur and visionary could fill a book.

    Luckily for us, someone has written that book: Todd Purdum, whose revelatory biography, Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television, gives its subject long-overdue acknowledgement and appreciation. Arnaz spent much of his public life in the shadow of his wife, who in 1996 was named by TV Guide the greatest TV star of all time. He, early on, was derisively referred to as “Mr. Ball.”

  17. "Being the Ricardos 2" but it's Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball as she argues with executives to save Star Trek during the day and sweeps the studio at night after Spock has gone home. You know it makes sense.

  18. Tonight in 1955 — Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel hit the road to Hollywood (with the help of rear projection) on I LOVE LUCY.

  19. Tonight in 1957 — I LOVE LUCY aired its last original episode.

    It was the #1 show on TV when Lucy and Desi decided to end it after 6 seasons.

    The characters returned in 13 one-hour specials (1957-1960) known as THE LUCY-DESI COMEDY HOUR.

  20. Since it's National Look Alike Day here's an old photo of my wife and child. As you can tell, he's the spitting image of the Gerber baby. 😉

  21. Family lore is that my brother auditioned for and was going to be one of kids who plays Little Ricky on the I Love Lucy show, but he got diaper rash and so got scratched from filming.

    No idea if it's true, but it's a good story.

    (My parents *did* live in LA at the time and my grandmother worked at one of the better-known casting agencies, so it's entirely possible.)

    (and I just saw a clip and my brother at that age *did* look a lot like the other actors)

    Raise your hands if you were a #latchkey kid from elementary school through H.S. Your PB&J skills are unparalleled. You know every #LeaveItToBeaver, #ILoveLucy, and #GilligansIsland episode out there. You know the #HotPocket cooking instructions by heart. And you always told telemarketers that you have to take a message because your dad's in the garage under the car.
