National ‘I Love Lucy’ Day
A Look Inside the Comedy Favorite
The Show The purpose for the show lay in Ball’s attempt to ensure their marriage remained intact. It kept Arnaz home as opposed to on tour, and it gave Ball the spotlight she wanted. When the show was in initial development, Lucy and Desi had to prove the two of them could work together successfully and professionally. The pair began performing a skit they called “Professor” between Desi’s tour dates in 1950. The skit depicted Lucy as someone auditioning to join Arnaz’ band, and audiences loved it! It was this skit that convinced CBS they could be a convincing couple, and the network approved “I Love Lucy.” Observing ‘I Love Lucy’ Day It’s easy to celebrate this holiday! Get your family or friends together to sit down and marathon one of America’s favorite comedies. Whether you have the six seasons on DVD or plan to head to CBS.com, get ready to fill your day with the antics of Lucille Ball and the rest of the crew.
On Oct. 15, 1951, one of America’s all-time favorite television programs was debuted. “I Love Lucy” hit the ground running, becoming one of the most successful and beloved sitcoms in the nation. Ever since, Oct. 15 has been dedicated to this beloved show, encouraging people of all ages to celebrate and remember “I Love Lucy.” Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz The show’s two main stars, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, played Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, made more interesting by the fact that Ball and Arnaz were married in real life. In the show, Lucy is a housewife who enjoys performing and wants to get out of the house, and Ricky is part of a rumba band. Before their duo’s debut, the pair met in 1940 on set for the film “Too Many Girls,” and eloped the same year. By the time “I Love Lucy” premiered in 1951, the pair’s marriage was going through some difficulties. In 1960, the couple divorced but remained close friends and continued to care for their two children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr.
