The Lucy Show

The Lucy Show is a comedy TV series developed by CBS that follows the life of Lucy Carmichael (Lucile Ball), a spontaneous and sometimes out there widow, who takes her two children, Chris (Candy Moore) and Jerry (Jimmy Garrett), to live with her divorced friend Vivian Bagley (Vivian Vance) and her young son, Sherman (Ralph Hart). Though she's been left a trust from her late husband's estate, Lucy finds herself at odds with the local bank manager, Mr. Gale Gordon (Theodore J. Mooney), a blustering hothead who was trying his best to keep Lucy's weird and ne'er-do-well schemes from touching the account. The Lucy Show focused on the lovable redhead's uncanny knack to getting herself into harebrained schemes with Viv and the struggles the newly widowed mother has with raising two growing children. Known for having four different theme songs during its six seasons, the show was reformatted as CBS's Here's Lucy, which starred Ball and her two children, Lucie and Desi, Jr. MORE
