- TriviaProducer Aaron Spelling blamed himself for the show's failure, saying he never should have granted Lucille Ball creative control. Spelling knew something was wrong when the studio audience gasped when Ball did a physical stunt while filming the pilot, fearing she would get hurt. Spelling never produced another sitcom, saying "If you're gonna fail with Lucille Ball, you should not do comedy."

Featured review
When one thinks of this show the word "illconceived" comes to mind. This wasn't a bad show, nor was it good. It was just average fodder that was being pumped out in the 1980's. It's unfortunate that Lucille Ball didn't go with her first intuition and leave well enough alone. A golden opportunity was missed. If the show had been about Lucy Ricardo as a retiree living with Little Ricky and his family, that might have had some possibilities. But this show suffered from scripts and stories that we have seen over and over again, along with characters that were bland, also to be a bit blunt, watching an old lady perform some of the stunts she did just didn't work. Broad slapstick was gone and was replaced by clever writing that was shown on The Golden Girls. Times and tastes had changed and it's too bad that Lucy didn't realize this. A sour note to end a stellar career that didn't tarnish her overall body of work.
