Trivia:

Its premiere episode made the Nielsen's Top 20 for its week; however, following episodes dropped steadily in viewership, ultimately turning this show into one of the biggest flops in television history. Reportedly, its failure so deeply hurt Lucille Ball that she never completely recovered from it, convinced that the public no longer wanted her. more

I don't get it. Good Show!, 22 January 2008
10/10
Author: sigmapi30 from United States

I have read many unflattering posts about Life With Lucy. Most people say this was a horrible show. Although I vaguely remember it originally airing, I have the show on tape and enjoy it. No, it is not as good as I Love Lucy, but it holds it's own. None of her follow up shows are "as good" as ILL. With that said, each show is EXCELLENT in it's own right. I am a true Lucy fan and love each and everyone of her shows. Lucy is the best comedic talent of all time. Life With Lucy was light, clean, fun entertainment. I think this show is an important part of Lucy's television history. I just hope it get's a just release on DVD!!! Please vote for this show's DVD release at tvshowsondvd.com.
