Life With Lucy


 This is the complete series of the short lived American TV series Life With Lucy  which it starred Lucille Ball and Gale Gordon who had worked together on The Lucy Show from 1962-68 and Here's Lucy from 1968-74 and this was the 4th  and Lucy show that Lucille Ball did starting with I Love Lucy with ex husband Desi Arnaz along with Vivian Vance and William Frawley. The other cast members that was on the Life With Lucy  were Ann Dusenberry, Larry Anderson, Jenny Lewis, Philip J Amelio and Donovan Scott and in the show she played Lucy Barker who is the mother of Margot which she lives with Margot, husband Ted and 2 children Becky and Kevin. Lucy is an widow who inherited her husband's half interest in an hardware store  which was the other half owned by Ted's father Curtis McGibbon  and Curtis also lives with Margo, Ted and the Family. The show started on September 20th 1986 which unfortunately only 8 episodes which it finished November 8th that year and the other 5 episodes were not shown until the DVD's came out in the USA in 2019 and here in Australia last year. It's FANTASTIC as well as very funny and very entertaining with great humor and on the DVD there some great special features  including promos and Hour Magazine segments featuring Lucille Ball and Gale Gordon. It is nearly 32 years since the passing of Lucille Ball but her works still lives  on  including the Lucy shows she did and even though  Life With Lucy was not successful but at least it's worth watching  and to have a good laugh. This is an must for Classic TV fans and I am giving this 4 stars as it's in the shops now so do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which you will be truly entertained.
