Really enjoying these 'The Lucy Show' reruns. This episode, the season two finale, centers around Lucy and her pal Vivian Bagley competing in a pie baking competition. A memorable scene features poor Lucy, including the recipe index card in her pie crust dough 🤣 Season 2, episode 28, 1964 #thelucyshow #lucilleball #1964 #1960s #classiccomedy #vintagetv https://www.instagram.com/p/CmvAaJmuR34/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I always thought Lucy looked stunning in this red dress. Here she wears it in 'The Lucy Show' Christmas episode "Lucy The Choirmaster" in 1965 and again that same year on 'Password' and in a few publicity photos. I don't recall seeing it again until the movie "Yours Mine & Ours" in 1968. #lucilleball #thelucyshow #yoursmineandours #reddress #lookinglovely #stunning #wardrobe #1960sfashion #vintageclothing #choirmaster #waynelvslcy https://www.instagram.com/p/CmTKXbosX3i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Almost every year I've received beautiful color television sets, things like that. Not just on special occasions. Lucy would see a record player or a hi-fi and think I might like to have one, so there'd be one for me. And little thoughtful notes all through the years. I find this very, very touching. And when Christmas comes, there's always a party on the set. Everybody gets presents. Wristwatches, television sets, cars."—Gale Gordon, article, 'My Love Affair With Lucille Ball', 1974. #lucilleball #galegordon #thelucyshow #christmasparty #giftgiving #expensivegifts #hifi #ilovelucy #presents #televisions #waynelvslcy https://www.instagram.com/p/CmMjVIluX6e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 97th Birthday Dick Van Dyke! Dick takes a break from his own show on the Desilu lot to stop by and warm up the audience and to introduce the cast of 'The Lucy Show' circa 1962. #lucilleball #thelucyshow #dickvandyke #thedickvandykeshow #desilu #happybirthday #vivianvance #ilovelucy #waynelvslcy https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHNotspYc1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cher's mom, Georgia Holt, has passed away at the age of 96. Georgia worked with Lucy on 'I Love Lucy' in 1956 and again on 'The Lucy Show' 1966. My condolences to her family. #cher #lucilleball #georgiaholt #ilovelucy #thelucyshow #condolences #passedaway #model #fashionmodel https://www.instagram.com/p/CmBElKrscAW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In far too many instances during The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy, the scripts would require a need for someone in an animal costume. The man inside those bear (and gorilla) suits next to Lucy was Hungarian born actor Janos Prohaska (1919-1974). Not only did he step into these animal suits, he also created them. His 'animals' and 'monsters' can be seen on TV shows throughout the 60's and early 70's including Star Trek, Gilligan's Island, The Outer Limits, and Lost In Space. Janos was killed along with his son in a plane crash while traveling to a filming location for the ABC television series 'Primal Man'. #lucilleball #lucycarmichael #lucycarter #blackbear #thelucyshow #hereslucy #animalcostume #manbehindthemask #gorillacostume #bearcostume #waynelvslcy #costumes #gilligansisland #lostinspace #startrek #outerlimits https://www.instagram.com/p/CkWQczIPKG2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'The Lucy Show' first aired on television sixty years ago today, October 1, 1962. This second television series for Lucy was adapted from a book written by Irene Kampen. Irene Kampen (1922-1998) was a reporter and author who wrote 10 books based upon her own life experiences. After her divorce, she was forced to work to support her daughter. To help make ends meet she took in a divorced woman who had a son to help pay the bills. From this experience, she wrote 'Life Without George' which was later adapted to what we all know as 'The Lucy Show'. In the adapted version, Lucy Carmichael was a widow and NOT a divorcee. Vivian Vance would be cast to play the divorcee, Vivian Bagley. (Vivian would be the first person to play a divorced woman as a TV series regular.) In 1965, Irene would write a sequel to 'Life Without George' titled 'Europe Without George'. She would go on to write many more books including 'Due to Lack of Interest Tomorrow Has Been Canceled' and 'Nobody Calls at This Hour Just to Say Hello'. She also wrote for many magazines and in later years became a popular lecturer. In 1975 Irene said, "Every time 'The Lucy Show' appears on a TV screen, and it appears a lot, I get a royalty check. I love Lucy." #lucilleball #vivianvance #thelucyshow #authors #adapted #books #divorcee #sitcoms #premier #widow #ilovelucy #classictv #ralphhart #jimmygarrett #bookadaptations #waynelvslcy https://www.instagram.com/p/CjKQT59O283/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
