I am 63 in 2024, as a kid i watched this every day at 7pm, but in summer, i watched twice a day! I am crying watching this. 😂❤ Thanks for the memories Lucy and Desi!!
I’m b a 77yr old great-grandmother, & we moved into our new house, when my half-brother was only 3 weeks old, & I was soon to be 4. My step-mother was busy in the mornings, taking care of him, & washing & hanging out the laundry. We just got our first TV, so she let me watch it, to keep me busy. I saw the first episode & loved it. My parent’s had divorced when I was 2 & a half, & I only got to see my mother every other week-end. She was 5”4” w/ huge blue eyes, & red hair, styled just like Lucy’s. She reminded me of my mother, but it was fun watching all Lucy’s quirky situations & Desi singing w/ his band, & Fred & Ethel. It was just a great show & great memories 🙏🏼😊💕
Anything about Lucy and Desi brings tears to my eyes. I was a child at the time. The very first television generation. It was a period of stability and unprecedented economic growth for our country. That was personified by I Love Lucy. Sweet comforting memories. Bless Lucy and Desi.
I was born in '57 I didn't catch the original broadcast I watched the show in syndication for many years. They were a lovely couple, soul mates. One could see the love. It's sad to know what happened to them behind the scenes. His drinking & womanizing. He was a very handsome man. She was beatiful. Very funny together & the show was well written. I never thought about the fact that she changed her voice for the show making it higher than her real voice to make her character seem less intelligent & ditsy She suffered a miscarriage early on in their marriage before Lucy was born. They were television pioneers what they did as a couple was genius. Thank you for posting.
Just show how much they really knocked it out of the park with this show when it's still the best sitcom ever even after all this time and created at the infancy of television.
I love lucy would be on at 2am when i was feeding my newborn and my 3 yr old would watch with me and CRACK UP with laughter. The baby/cheese on the airplane was a favorite.
I Love Lucy was my favorite all time show. I was born in 1950, and grew up watching anything to do with Lucille Ball. I still feel that way. It’s just sad that their marriage fell through. But twenty years of marriage is a long time and they should be proud of themselves. Their children should be proud as well. My own marriage lasted seventeen years and I thought that I deserved a medal. So twenty years is like winning a marathon. Lucy,jr. and Desi,jr. also had good and productive careers and lives. They were a great American family.😊
True. She has a good marriage, three children, I believe and probably grandchildren, plus an acting career. Keeping her parent's memory alive is only part of the activities she's been involved with.
I have always loved Lucy and still do I would put my dolls down and sit in front of the tv and watch Lucy even though it was in black and white I fell in love with rickey.😃
I love Lucy is my favorite show. My mother and I used to watch it together before I started school. I have the whole series. I never get tired of the episodes.
Desi Jr sounds like his Dad so much only with better English. Also what Lucie Arnaz said from 11:33-11:50 about her parents telling them about their divorce was really sad.
I do love Lucy!! And am grateful that she and her husband Desi were in my life growing up. I'm only sorry that the second half of a marriage to a man she truly loved but could not control, and I think her not being able to control the situation or him drove her to her own emotional change. Looking at her later photos even after her marriage to Gary, her facial expressions always made her look hard it was like a roadmap of her life. Living with an active alcoholic like Desi coupled with the stresses of the studio and others careers, it's unfortunate that to reach out to a program like AA or Al-anon was not as well known and accepted as today. Desi was a genius with loads of moxie and I would view as a passionate man , I can see how she was intoxicated with this roller coaster ride of life with him. I love em ,but I hate him and what he dose to me. There were no more battles, she lost her war but in the end I believe acceptance entered and they were both able to say their final goodbye with sincere love. Thank you for all the beautiful memories ❤
Grew up watching reruns of I LOVE LUCY , i think them being so in love really showed , sad that the last season even tho good you can see they were differNT , but we will always and forever LOVE LUCY
My parents reminded me of Lucy and Desi. My Father was short tempered, dark haired, sicilian, and my Mother was fair, brown haired, blue eyed Irish/Norwegian and they fought a lot. They had six children. Were devout Catholics and never divorced. I remember they'd put us kids to bed by 8:00 PM, turn on I Love Lucy, and we could hear my Dad laughing loudly all the way up to the second story bedroom we slept in.
LUCY & DEZI IS IN HEAVEN, BACK IN THEIR EARLY 30'S YEARS OLD. LUCY SEE YOU COMING AND LEAN HER SHOULDERS ON A NEARBY WALL ETC AND WATCH YOU GO BY ALL THE WHILE SMILING AT YOU!
It's always sad when a marriage doesn't last. Sometimes it can't, sometimes it shouldn't but we can pretend that Lucy and Ricky stayed married forever. Well, in a way they did.
ALTHOUGH IT WAS MORE EXPENSIVE TO SHOOTING THE FILM USED, DESI DESIDED ON IT. HAD HE NOT WE WOULDN'T HAVE THEM TODAY. THIS FILM LASTED THE OTHER AT THE TIME HASN'T. IT WAS HIS FORSIGHT FOR HISTORY❤
I think that Lucy was a better mother than her daughter gives her credit for. I think we all feel that way, and yet she is portrayed as some control freak by her daughter. Actually, I think her daughter as more of the control freak.
This script was no book ,it was a probably a therapeutic tool ,suggested by Dr Vincent Peele ,an evangelist, Lucy believed in totally and took his advice when she was distressed. He must have advised her to bring out all her angst and trauma about her bad marriage Which is why the tapes stop at the point of her divorce from Desi ,the tool did work ,and there was no need for them any more. But it came in handy to pretend it was a book and publish it and make more money for the heirs
LOL. Yeah, ok. He is the reason why Lucille divorced. Yeah, very charming. His "singing" was like nails on a chalk board. If it was not for Lucille, no one would know who he was.
I was teary and loving it, but honestly the last parts with 60s-9/11 don't belong. Obviously these are personal to you, but please don't title it 50s. Thank you for the memories.
Lucy Jr did kinda sorta look like her famous Mom... But I don't understand why Lucy jr didn't want anything to do with the show but Lucy was actually pregnant with DESI and so the writers decided to keep her pregnancy part of the show but they didn't even have Desi Jr in the show and they got another baby to play little Ricky...
They did not want to put the son in the tv show and leave out the daughter - thus little Rickie. However, when the children were older Here's Lucy - had both her children on the show. Desi Jr on for 3 seasons and Lucie Arnaz was on for 6 seasons. I felt the show was ok, but not as good as I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show. In an interview she said she definitely wanted to give her children the opportunity.
If Castro hay not ousted Batista there would have been no I Love Lucy. Desi Arnez was forced to become a part of society. Thank goodness he was not destined to be apart from society as a do nothing aristocrat.
Actually the revolution in Cuban was where Batista, a fascist, overthrew the democratically elected President. Years later, Castro, a communist, overthrew Batista. Desi left when Batista was getting installed as the leader.
@LJ-ht4zs Thank you. It's nice to learn something new. This is what Chat GPT says - Before Batista took power in a 1952 coup, the president of Cuba was Carlos Prío Socarrás. Prío served as Cuba's president from 1948 until Batista overthrew his government. Prío was known for supporting democratic reforms, but his administration faced corruption issues and political instability, which Batista exploited to justify his takeover.
Even if that is true , they were not the first nor will they be the last but that fact the even you know about their marriage says something all on its own… they worked hard and were very talented…. What’s your claim to fame???
Desi was an addict: sex,booze, gambling - before he met Lucy, during the marriage and after they divorced. His 2nd wife almost divorced him for the same reasons. He was only able to stop drinking 1 year before died, but it was too late his health had seriously declined.
Lucy deserved her success. She worked very hard for it.
She p as id her dues and over came the obstacles.
You bet she did!
You don’t have to be rude to others. No excuses
@@shadrach6299 who have I been rude to?
Amen to that 🙌❤🎉😊
I am 63 in 2024, as a kid i watched this every day at 7pm, but in summer, i watched twice a day! I am crying watching this. 😂❤ Thanks for the memories Lucy and Desi!!
A boomer talking like a Gen Z. “I am crying.” What a clown 🤡

I’m 29 now and still find myself YouTubing I love Lucy episodes. This was the first show I watched when I moved to the US at 7.
I was born in '57 I didn't catch the original broadcast I watched the show in syndication for many years.
They were a lovely couple, soul mates. One could see the love.
It's sad to know what happened to them behind the scenes. His drinking & womanizing. He was a very handsome man. She was beatiful.
Very funny together & the show was well written. I never thought about the fact that she changed her voice for the show making it higher than her real voice to make her character seem less intelligent & ditsy
She suffered a miscarriage early on in their marriage before Lucy was born.
They were television pioneers what they did as a couple was genius. Thank you for posting.
She will always be a legend ❤
She will never leave us, neither will Desi. I remember watching this at my grandparent's home, wonderful memories.
Just show how much they really knocked it out of the park with this show when it's still the best sitcom ever even after all this time and created at the infancy of television.
It was love.....and laughter. A great combination.
Both Lucie and Desi Jr looked exactly like their father, Lucille Ball was very beautiful and successful Desi was very handsome may they both RIP.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️my favorite actress
Me too.❤❤ Lucy and Desi
I love lucy would be on at 2am when i was feeding my newborn and my 3 yr old would watch with me and CRACK UP with laughter.

Must watch show🎉dateline❤Lo❤e Lucy🎉Excellent❤ENJOY😊
They were both brilliant talented hardworking and beautiful ❤
Luci Arnez can express herself well.
its like she has no life except for her parents,
@@marilynwillett804 She has her own life and her own family. Of course she's going to speak about her famous parents in interviews.
True. She has a good marriage, three children, I believe and probably grandchildren, plus an acting career. Keeping her parent's memory alive is only part of the activities she's been involved with.
Yes she can. The apple doesn’t fall from the tree.
Back when Dateline wasn't about just about people being murdered.
Correction: it's about women being murdered by their husbands, boyfriends, etc. Same thing every week, so boring.
@@SorayaEsfandiary_
Well not always. They often do stories about men, children and teenagers being murdered.
I have always loved Lucy and still do I would put my dolls down and sit in front of the tv and watch Lucy even though it was in black and white I fell in love with rickey.😃
I am major Lucy fan ❤ and I collect her stuff ❤.
I love Lucy is my favorite show. My mother and I used to watch it together before I started school. I have the whole series. I never get tired of the episodes.
My daughter, who is 35 now, loved to watch I Love Lucy reruns starting at age 3. She would giggle and giggle.
I still watch I Love Lucy, and her other shows to this day. I really love watching her and Desi. They really were amazing.
Watched all of The Lucy Show. I Love Lucy and Here's Lucy
Oh and life with Lucy
Desi Jr sounds like his Dad so much only with better English. Also what Lucie Arnaz said from 11:33-11:50 about her parents telling them about their divorce was really sad.
Wow this was so wonderful. I loved them ❤
I don’t usually comment but Lucy’s father was absolutely gorgeous.. explains why she was so beautiful. Beautiful mother as well.
Miss Her
Good to see Lucy children Thanks for narrator of this young lady God bless you both
❤I'M 70 and Canadian❤🎉We LO❤E LUCY,DESI and family❤🎉😊
Thank you!
You bet!
Thanks so much for posting this, it is so timely, what with the 70th Anniversary of I Love Lucy and the Aaron Sorkin Movie, Being the Ricardos. 😊
My pleasure think of this as a Christmas gift
Lucille Ball Was Gouragas and she worked hard and became a legend.
Lucy was in a class by herself, no one compares
I loved this blast from the past ~ a great, interesting story. And wow - what solid gold performers. Hard working and sparkling with talent.
Lucille Ball would have never become famous and legendary without Desi Arnaz, a cuban tv genious, who change american tv forever.
Took them both
Thank you for posting! Would love to see more Dateline episodes if you have them.
I found two more I'll post when I have time
@@TheAmericanPlayer1997
Thank you so much, I'm in HEAVEN!

Actually I saw a change in their faces after 1956-57. However, after they divorced and Lucy married Gary Morton - she looked relaxed and at peace.
Love Lucy and Desi your friend John bristersr from Brooklyn NY saying hello to her family and I would love to have a picture of your family 🎉😂
Grew up watching reruns of I LOVE LUCY , i think them being so in love really showed , sad that the last season even tho good you can see they were differNT , but we will always and forever LOVE LUCY

Thank you something I haven’t seen! 💜🙏
Enjoyed watching this again. A book was published based on what Lucy created in 1964. I read it when it came out in 1997. Would love to read it again.
You watched it before?
FYI Lucy is from Jamestown New York outside of Buffalo
This is a classic dateline like another on desi and lucy finding lucy
I hope you post more videos as well!
Thanks Dennis I think I have all the dateline that I got but if you find any from any website send me a link
LUCY & DEZI IS IN HEAVEN, BACK IN THEIR EARLY 30'S YEARS OLD. LUCY SEE YOU COMING AND LEAN HER SHOULDERS ON A NEARBY WALL ETC AND WATCH YOU GO BY ALL THE WHILE SMILING AT YOU!
The family should share and publish the original recordings.
You know, I think there are, even now, many more stories and interesting analysis that can be done on their relationship.
It's always sad when a marriage doesn't last. Sometimes it can't, sometimes it shouldn't but we can pretend that Lucy and Ricky stayed married forever. Well, in a way they did.
What a love story.
I bawled like crazy when she died.
The first female studio head.
Desilu her and ricky
Lucy definitely was the queen of comedy... But she also did serious movies... like...Mame
Lured and The Dark Corner A movies - black and white, mystery films
I love Lured and The Dark Corner A+ The Big Street with Henry Fonda was good but sad.
I loved her in her movies before I Love Lucy & Ricky
So did I - there are at least 10 -15 movies I really enjoyed before I Love Lucy and after that show. "
Desi Jr really looks just like his famous father
jaJsl
ALTHOUGH IT WAS MORE EXPENSIVE TO SHOOTING THE FILM USED, DESI DESIDED ON IT. HAD HE NOT WE WOULDN'T HAVE THEM TODAY. THIS FILM LASTED THE OTHER AT THE TIME HASN'T. IT WAS HIS FORSIGHT FOR HISTORY❤
a movie should be made based on this book
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My father looked so much like Desi Arnaz.
My father was Greek but looked like a tall Cuban. We lived in south Florida and people often spoke Spanish to him. I miss my father!
Dateline 1.27.24
Its such a shame they couldn't make it work out. I wouldn't have put up with his shanagins though. Sad for the children.
I think that Lucy was a better mother than her daughter gives her credit for. I think we all feel that way, and yet she is portrayed as some control freak by her daughter. Actually, I think her daughter as more of the control freak.
If I ever see one more episode, see her face, hear her voice again…it will be too much!
WONDERFUL PRESENTATION!!! A great love story !!
Lucy daughter looks at mom. Her sons look like Desi his dad
❤❤❤❤❤❤

It never showed the part that took the show off the air.
10:12 Ricky's face -tv classic
He didn't love her enough if he wanted other women
This script was no book ,it was a probably a therapeutic tool ,suggested by Dr Vincent Peele ,an evangelist, Lucy believed in totally and took his advice when she was distressed.
He must have advised her to bring out all her angst and trauma about her bad marriage
Which is why the tapes stop at the point of her divorce from Desi ,the tool did work ,and there was no need for them any more.
But it came in handy to pretend it was a book and publish it and make more money for the heirs
I watched a documentry her children put out a couple of years ago and the daughter said she was nothing like she was on i love lucy
If desi arnaz was here he could tell you what happened to his f!mily because of the political party in power at that time
ya in 1996 i was 12 and i did get that book and i read it.
Lindsey Lohan could play Lucy in a movie about Lucy
Around 2000, Gilligan's Island passed them up as #1 most watched show in the world.
Desi's "singing" was HORRENDOUS!!! But I still love Lucy!!!!
His voice fit his songs ..and he was a business man a good one at that ..thankgod Lucy fought for him to be on the show and what a legend it is ❤
I think he sang well. He was so charming it didn't matter much anyway.
LOL. Yeah, ok. He is the reason why Lucille divorced. Yeah, very charming. His "singing" was like nails on a chalk board. If it was not for Lucille, no one would know who he was.
@@chrisv.4071*businessman *Thank god
I liked him. Not my favorite singer, but I enjoyed him and his singing.
I was teary and loving it, but honestly the last parts with 60s-9/11 don't belong. Obviously these are personal to you, but please don't title it 50s.

It was fun seeing Lucy in that episode of The 3 Stooges, "The 3 Little Pigskins."
Lucy had perfect figure and her daughter looks the same.
how any woman can walk around smiling with a human body inside her own is beyond my understanding.

It would've been even more honest of him is to tell the actual truth of his life. But he was never about being kind or transparent.
It's true that opposites do attract, but they make marriages made in Hell.
Mo money! Mo money!
In the end Lucy got greedy and forgot about thank you and good luck Ricky!
Why do Normals not realise that actors act??
I Love Lucy was lightening in a bottle.

Lucy was inna class by herself
Almost as beautiful as Vivien Leigh, but a tough lady!
I don't watch anything fake news related I.e dateline.
Desi destroyed her
Desi destroyed her. Love of her life. Very bad man- Cheater
no respect for a serial adulterer/alcoholic and his enabler.
And, the Sourpuss Community is heard from, duly noted.
Even if that is true , they were not the first nor will they be the last but that fact the even you know about their marriage says something all on its own… they worked hard and were very talented…. What’s your claim to fame???
Ahh the self righteousness!!
It's Sad that Desi drank and became a Womaniser and Lucy got tired of it and that's why she divorced Desi.
Desi was an addict: sex,booze, gambling - before he met Lucy, during the marriage and after they divorced. His 2nd wife almost divorced him for the same reasons. He was only able to stop drinking 1 year before died, but it was too late his health had seriously declined.
Jane Pauley, I’ve always loved to watch your show on the weekend. But since you had Harry and Meghan on it, I no longer will watch you.
Why??
