The Lucy Show was a sitcom that aired on American Pop Classics from 1962 to 1968, starring the legendary Lucille Ball. The show centers around Lucy Carmichael (Lucille Ball), a widow who lives with her two children, Chris and Jerry. Lucy is always getting herself into hilarious situations, often involving her best friend and neighbor, Vivian Bagley (Vivian Vance), and her cantankerous boss, Mr. Theodore J. Mooney (Gale Gordon).

Lucy Carmichael was a character who was kind-hearted, but always seemed to have a knack for getting into trouble. She often tried to find ways to supplement her income, but her schemes usually ended up backfiring and causing chaos. Her best friend and confidant, Vivian Bagley, was always there to lend an ear and offer advice, even if it wasn't always the best advice.

Gale Gordon played the role of Mr. Theodore J. Mooney, Lucy's boss at the local bank. Mr. Mooney was known for his gruff demeanor and his dislike of Lucy's constant interruptions and schemes. However, throughout the series, Mr. Mooney develops a soft spot for Lucy and always seems to come around to her way of thinking in the end.

Mary Jane Croft played the role of Mary Jane Lewis, Lucy's friend and co-worker at the bank. Mary Jane was always willing to help Lucy with her various schemes, even if it meant breaking a few rules along the way. Candy Moore played the role of Lucy's daughter, Chris, and Jimmy Garrett played the role of Lucy's son, Jerry.

The Lucy Show was known for its physical comedy, slapstick humor, and of course, the comedic timing and talent of Lucille Ball. The show also tackled some serious topics, such as women's liberation and the changing roles of women in society during the 1960s.

Throughout the series, Lucy finds herself in a variety of comical situations, including attempting to sell cosmetics door-to-door, joining a rodeo, and even becoming a stewardess. Her schemes often involve her friends and co-workers, and she always seems to find a way to get out of trouble in the end.

One of the most memorable episodes of the series is "Lucy and Viv Put in a Shower," in which Lucy and Vivian attempt to install a shower in their bathroom. The episode is full of physical comedy and hilarious mishaps, and is considered one of the funniest episodes of the series.

Overall, The Lucy Show was a beloved sitcom that showcased the talents of Lucille Ball and the ensemble cast. The show remains popular today and is a beloved classic for fans of comedy and television history.

The Lucy Show is a series that ran for 6 seasons (115 episodes) between September 11, 1966 and on American Pop Classics
