Desilu Studios

Originally founded by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball to produce I Love Lucy, the studio fell on hard times after Lucy and Desi divorced, and was the only studio willing to take the risk to produce Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek: The Original Series (probably figuring it had little to lose). Bought out and absorbed by Paramount during Trek's original production run. Their other productions included |Mission Impossible, Mannix and The Untouchables.
