With KEITH THIBODEAUX as Little Ricky.Ĭonsidered a step-down from I Love Lucy, these episodes, though initially seen frequently in summer reruns, have never been played as often as the superior half-hour shows. The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour stars LUCILLE BALL as Lucy Ricardo, DESI ARNAZ as Ricky Ricardo, VIVIAN VANCE as Ethel Mertz, and WILLIAM FRAWLEY as Fred Mertz. However, unlike the I Love Lucy series, each episode featured at least one famous guest star, and the stories revolved around Lucy’s interactions with that celebrity. The entire original cast reprised their roles in 13 hour-long episodes that were originally part of The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show (re-titled The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour in syndication). The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour was essentially an hour-long continuation of the I Love Lucy series, airing once every other month from 1957 to 1960. Welcome to another Situation Comedy Tuesday!
