Horrible show.

I always found Gale Gordon to be unwatchable, Lucy should have teamed up with John Ritter, now that would have been fun.

Such a trite, by the numbers show that tipped the scales from “Fanily Friendly” into total corn.
The episode where they hire a goose to guard their store- because of course they did-sounds ghastly.

I remember watching part of an episode where she’s stuck on a vibrating chair and the audiences was in hysterics but it wasn’t all that funny.

It wasn’t the worst thing ever to be on TV. There’s Fox News & C-Span. The Queer as Folk reboot. Dust.

Just an unfunny as I remember it. As a wise woman once told Lucy, it was ghastly. Just ghastly!

Unfortunately, Gary did talk her into this one.

This series broke my 14 year old hormonal heart, I seriously balled for two day straight when it was cancelled.

The last produced (and thankfully unaired) episode has to be seen to be believed. Lucy enters a talent show, giving a (MAUDLIN!) dramatic reading of "Sunrise, Sunset." Audiences' last impression of Lucy when she was alive was almost that of a self-pitying old lady lamenting her imminent death.

John Ritter did an episode in tribute to her physical comedy skills, but those were 30 years behind her.
It didn't help that they surrounded her by the blandest cast ever.

R19- Maybe so there was no threat of anyone upstaging her.

At her age, she should have moved on to more verbal comedy -with a cast of quirky and interesting people who would expose Lucy to new situations, letting her react in her own comic way. You can't laugh at a 70-something doing pratfalls! Put her back in Carter's Unique Employment Agency -but make her the boss. Give her a couple of young assistants, and let Lucy come up with creative solutions to employment problems for guest stars. She would have become an icon for a younger generation, nurturing new talent rather than a vanity project for an unchecked ego.

R13, Her daughter Lucie wrote and recorded what she thought would be the opening theme, but they went with another song and Eydie.

This was ABC's answer to 'The Golden Girls'. They saw what a ratings hit NBC had on their hands with older actresses Bea Arthur and Betty White, so they talked Lucy into doing this shit. They forgot they needed good scripts and good supporting players along with the elderly actress.

"GARY! That damn daughter actually wrote and recorded a THEME SONG for my new show! I told her and Larry to stick to Broadway and leave Hollywood to me. Christ! Call Steve and Eydie and see if she'll do me a favor last minute. I don't have time for this. WHERE ARE MY CIGARETTES?"

Ann Dusenberry really had it all, talent, looks, charisma, she was a revelation in Jaws II and then gave the definitive performance of Amy March in Little Women and should have been the second coming of Kim Novak but her career stalled. Very few people can overshadow Lucy but Ann did that very thing in this show!

If anything, ABC should have talked Aaron Spelling into bringing Lucy to the cast of 'Dynasty' or 'The Colbys'. She could've played Krystle's mother and done her 'slapstick comedy' when she and Linda Evans got into a cat fight.

She really would have been terrifying as Miss Hannigan, a frustrated, angry drunk who hated little girls would probably as close to real-life Lucy as any character she ever played.
