The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

After ''[[I Love Lucy]]'' ended its run, the cast carried on with ''The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour'' specials—essentially long "I Love Lucy" episodes (airing as monthly specials rather than a regular weekly series) with greater emphasis on famous guest stars and exotic locations. Over the course of the specials, the Ricardos and the Mertzes encounter Milton Berle, Danny Thomas, Ernie Kovacs and Tallulah Bankhead, and visit Mexico, Las Vegas, Sun Valley and Japan. The specials are often considered to be inferior to the original series, and the later episodes particularly suffered from the rapid deterioration of Lucy and Desi's marriage. Often seen in syndication under the moniker ''We Love Lucy'' which splits the hour long segments into two episodes with the first one ending on a "To Be Continued". The DVD boasted the title, "''I Love Lucy:'' The Final Seasons."
