I love Lucy, Why we owe her a huge thanks.

I've watched countless re-runs of Star Trek the original series for years. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I dug into the Desilu production company.
I thought it interesting that a couple known for comedy would produce a Sci-Fi show, add to that, one that would become a cult classic.

But that studio also produced some other interesting shows as well:
Mission Impossible.
Jack Benny.
I love Lucy and the Lucille Ball show.
The Untouchables.
And a bunch of other shows.

Desilu would eventually become Paramount, and all the TV stuff the studio produced would eventually get owned by CBS.

Just to think, we owe Lucille Ball a huge thank you for green lighting Star Trek.

*Note: I know some of you were will aware of that fact. But I wasn't all that curious until a few years ago.
