Synopsis

The Lucy Show is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from 1962–68. It was Lucille Ball's follow-up to I Love Lucy. A significant change in cast and premise for the 1965–66 season divides the program into two distinct eras; aside from Ball, only Gale Gordon, who joined the program for its second season, remained. For the first three seasons, Vivian Vance was the co-star. The earliest scripts were entitled The Lucille Ball Show, but when this title was declined, producers thought of calling the show This Is Lucy or The New Adventures of Lucy, before deciding on the title The Lucy Show. Ball won consecutive Emmy Awards as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for the series' final two seasons, 1966–67 and 1967–68.

dweilermg-1 What began as a nice fun to watch show about 2 single moms and their children ultimately devolved into the Lucy & Mr. Mooney show losing the charm of the earlier seasons.
DennisHinSF I'm part of the camp that adores "I Love Lucy", but REALLY dislikes her later shows. I love Lucy really had it all, cast chemistry, fantastic writing, great production values, a Manhattan setting, even some romance (Desi & Lucy are wonderful to watch together). TLS is another matter entirely. Some of it isn't her fault. between the end of ILL and the beginning of TLS she seems to have aged 10 years or more. Her entire demeanor has changed - after the 1st season everyone starts shouting all their lines. It's about as subtle as a truck. Lucy is the worst offender of all - you see the setup for all the gags coming, then their execution with the laugh track turned way up. I'm sure most of it is because Desi Arnaz produced the 1st year of the new show, and left after the last episode. In I Love Lucy, Desi's presence there allows her to show a vulnerable, feminine side to her character that is lovable and appealing. In TLS, that's gone, her makeup looks like it was spooned on with a spatula. The huge false eyelashes, the overly thick blue eye shadow, and red red lipstick make her face look like a mask. Hey, no one wants to hit 50, especially a woman who was as beautiful as Ball was in her youth & early middle age. But the worst is that she shouts her lines and people bodily over react as though they were in a silent film. The worst part is that she is now relying on cue cars, something she would have never done on ILL. Just a shame, and not funny.
hfan77 Five years after I Love Lucy ended, Lucille Ball returned to TV in her second sitcom, titled The Lucy Show. Unlike Lucy Ricardo, she played a widowed mother of a daughter named Chris, played by Candy Moore and a son named Jerry, portrayed by Jimmy Garrett. Also adding to the hysteria was her former I Love Lucy sidekick Vivian Vance, a divorced mother of a son named Sherman, who was played by Ralph Hart. As the show progressed, the kids were no longer seen on the show and Vance left after the third season. Also adding to the mayhem were Gale Gordon as Mr. Mooney and Mary Jane Croft. Ball and Gordon had outstanding chemistry that would last until Here's Lucy went off the air in 1974. Just like I Love Lucy, the show featured the slapstick and physical comedy that made ball one of the funniest female sit=com actresses of all time. I saw Lucy Gets Caught Up in the Draft and she constantly gives her commanding officer a hard time. It was also a very funny episode. There were also numerous episodes with guest stars, including several with Ann Sothern as The Countess. From the cute animated opening in the first season to the full color episodes in it's sixth and final season, the Lucy show is laugh out loud funny and Ball doesn't miss a beat.
DKosty123 This was Lucy's first series after the Lucy-Desi break-up. In many ways though it followed the same formula as I Love Lucy in that the comedy was set up just as well and Lucy is just as funny. Her character was developed as one that actually hit the times well. Lucy was portrayed here as a single woman and still energetic enough to pull it off. Folks like Garry Marshall were among the talented writers enlisted to do scripts and many of the scripts were very funny. Lucy with her talent added to all of them.Famous guest stars littered the shows, from her second encounter with legend John Wayne to Jack Benny and the first physical sighting of his famous vault where he squeezed his first dime. Gale Gordon was a great support actor as Lucy's boss at the bank she worked at during the series. That was the difference between this series & I Love Lucy is that most of the time Lucy was trying to keep her bank job with Mr. Mooney instead of trying to be a star.It is a subtle change but important to note that Lucy could still be funny in different situations. Viven Vance is always a delight when she is on this show. She could not be on all the time due to some health problems she had but she did appear a lot. Ratings for this show were number 1 until it's last season when NBC stripped a gear & Laugh-In came on board.
