Talk:Here's Lucy

Syndication and Rights issues
Is anyone sure about Viacom ever distributing "The Lucy Show" before 1994? I came across a trade ad from a 1973 issue of Broadcasting magazine and it showed a ad for "Mission: Impossible" and "The Lucy Show" and both were distributed by Paramount Television Sales (this was before the 1994 merger between Paramount and Viacom, of course.)

Harrison Carter?
I was looking for another Harrison Carter, but I was redirected here. Amazing to see that this article NEVER cites Harrison Carter... --Fioravante Patrone (talk) 22:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Cancellation concerns.
Here's Lucy was undoubtedly popular with audiences during its run, is it true that Lucille Ball herself wished the series to end after season five? Season six was produced without Ball's blessing and ratings dropped significantly. Another often unclear mentioning is the many guest stars. Why were there some many guest stars on this show? Was it to keep ratings up? This should be mentioned (if the information is out there). Was Here's Lucy canceled under the so-called "Rural Purge"? Did CBS want a seventh season? This should be discussed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClassiCoEditor97 (talk • contribs) 01:36, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

At one time, this article included an acknowledgment that it might have been CBS, rather than Ball, that chose to end the series in 1974. A book about Lucille Ball's various television shows (the name of that book escapes me) claims that CBS canceled the show, but didn't want to embarrass Ball. CBS quietly informed Ball in advance about the decision to cancel the show, so that she could claim it was her idea to end it. This information has been deleted from this article, but the following sentence remains: "It was widely reported at the time that it was Ball's decision not to continue." Why, I wonder, would someone delete the topic, yet leave behind one sentence that raises the issue without then fully addressing it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.139.205.249 (talk) 18:38, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
