October 1, 1962 –
The follow-up to I Love Lucy series (but not a sequel to the series,) The Lucy Show, premiered on CBS-TV on this date.
The series was originally intended to air for only one season. Ball and Desi Arnaz’s studio, Desilu, was losing money. Arnaz persuaded Ball to return to series television only to help their studio become viable again. Ball agreed to do the show only if it aired on Monday nights like I Love Lucy had and if her former co-star, Vivian Vance, and her former writers would be involved.
