I Love Lucy, aka I Love Lucy: The Movie is a 1953 American feature film spin-off of the sitcom I Love Lucy. Except for one test screening in Bakersfield, California, the film was never theatrically released and was shelved.
The film plays out, with three first-season episodes edited together into a single story: "The Benefit", "Breaking the Lease", and "The Ballet", with new footage included between episodes to help transition the episodes into one coherent storyline. As the series routinely took the format of filming scenes in chronological order, this adds to the "show within a show within a show" format of the film, as viewers watch the cast perform the episodes live. The film itself ends with a "curtain call", as the cast comes out and Arnaz thanks the audience for their support.
Shortly after the end of the first season of I Love Lucy, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball decided to cash in on their show's popularity by compiling several episodes of the first season of the series into a movie.
The following is a list of episodes from the CBS television series I Love Lucy. Out of all 180 episodes of the show's six seasons, all aired on a Monday.
After season six, the series was renamed The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show for its original broadcast run and rather than airing as weekly half hour series, hour long episodes were produced to run occasionally during the year. Thirteen episodes were broadcast as part of the Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse from October 6, 1958, to April 1, 1960. The series was subsequently broadcast in syndication as The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour and We Love Lucy. This show had the same cast as I Love Lucy, employed many of the same actors, and featured many famous guest stars.
There's a certain couple that I know.
They're strictly lovebirds,
A pair of turtle dove birds.
He's a guy who wants the world to know.
So ev'ry day
You'll hear him say
I Love Lucy and she loves me,
We're as happy as two can be,
sometimes we quarrel but then again
How we love making up again.
Lucy kisses like no one can,
She's my missus and I'm her man;
And life is heaven you see
Cause I Love Lucy
Yes I Love Lucy
and Lucy loves me.
I love Lucy and she loves me
We're as happy as two can be
we have our quarrel bue then
Girl,How we love making up again ?
Lucy kisses like know one can
she's my misses and I'm her man
and life is heaven you see
'Couse I love Lucy , yesm i love Lucy
And Lucy loves me
I love Lucy and she loves me
We're as happy as two can be
we have our quarrel bue then
How we love making up again
Lucy kisses like know one can
she's my misses and I'm her man
and life is heaven you see
'Couse I love Lucy , yesm i love Lucy
and Lucy loves me
I love Lucy and she loves me
We're as happy as two can be
we have our quarrel bue then
Lucy... Lucy
I love Lucy, she don't care
Standing dressed in red from head to toe
She don't see me, don't care where I go
I'm moving toward her but she does not see
She's too busy looking right through me
La la Lucy
All her boys are dressed in best uptown
I am standing here in hand-me-downs
The story has no mystery
