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. |
