The behind-the-scenes story of television’s happiest couple, and Hollywood’s most tumultuous marriage The magical union of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz created I Love Lucy—the greatest, most enduring situation comedy in television history. Yet the overwhelming pressures of fame, backstage battles, oversized egos, and Desi’s philandering and drinking led to the destruction of their star-crossed, tempestuous marriage—but never their love for each other. This new edition of Desilu features a special commentary by Pulitzer Prize-winning TV critic Tom Shales, and includes a brand-new preface and never-before-seen photographs. Written with the close cooperation of family members, including Lucy and Desi’s daughter, Lucie Arnaz, Desilu is the most candid and balanced inside account of Lucy and Desi’s celebrated, but ultimately tragic, relationship—as well as a fascinating look at the legendary Desilu Studios and the fabled golden age of television.

From the author of, and in the style of, Irwin Allen Productions 1964--1970 and Cool TV of the 1960s comes a critical celebration of four classic television shows from the legendary Desilu Studios, with complete cast lists and episode guides. Nearly 600 pages / For comments on reviews, click on 'see all reviews' Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball's imprint is all over television history. The Desilu company that was formed by Lucy and Desi to produce and market Lucy's TV series I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show was later sold to Paramount, handing them three of the biggest cash cows in television history--for it was Desilu that produced and financed The Untouchables, Mission: Impossible and Star Trek, three of the most admired and respected television series ever made. All three would never have made it to air without the power, influence and support of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. It was Lucy who took television out of New York theaterland to Hollywood; she financed the pilot for I Love Lucy with her own money; she was the first to film before a live audience; her show pioneered the three camera system of filming sit-coms; her onscreen pregnancy forced American television to grow up a little when it was written into her series. It was Desi who protected The Untouchables; it was Lucy who bullied Star Trek and Mission: Impossible onto the air. This book examines the four major Desilu legacies of the 1960s in detail--The Untouchables, The Lucy Show, Mission: Impossible, and Star Trek. Controversial mob show The Untouchables ran for four seasons (1959 to 1963) until TV's censors and professional complainers finally finished it off. It set the bar so high and created such controversy (albeit media-manufactured) that it was twenty five years before gangster shows of comparable quality appeared, and to this day there has not been a gangland show as successful. It was a pulp paperback brought to life, the American trash magazine as live action TV. The slam-bang rapid pace, the justifiable but shameless voyeuristic violence, and the staccato machine-gun-like narration was unique and exciting in the more slower-paced environment of early-'60s TV, and the list of guest stars giving top-rate performances of mostly first-rate scripts is as long as it is distinguished. The Lucy Show ran for six seasons, featured wonderful physical comedy, numerous staple sit-com formula plots, and dozens of celebrity guest stars as a significant and popular part of Lucille Ball's twenty year TV career. Her co-stars, Vivian Vance and Gale Gordon (as Mr. Mooney) achieved career highs. Mission: Impossible was the longest running and most parodied spy show of the 1960s, and is today a major movie franchise. With its dazzling theme, self-destructing taped messages, convoluted schemes, drop-jawed disbelieving villains, and iconic characters, it became a genuine pop culture item. Star Trek, also a major movie franchise, presented pure science-fiction concepts to a mature and wide-ranging mass audience for the first time in television's history, by brilliantly transposing the western formula to futuristic space adventure, and becoming one of the most significant and revered television series in the history of the medium. Desi and Lucy were barely aware they were producing it, but Lucy got it on the air by securing another television first--a second pilot. The Great Desilu Series of the 1960s is a fascinating, fun-filled, fact-filled story of four famously loved television series--related in the context of each other and discussed together for what I believe to be the first time.

While Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball are most closely associated with the classic situation comedy, I Love Lucy, the production company they founded in the 1950s, Desilu, made several other television series - some memorable like The Lucy Show, The Untouchables, Mission: Impossible, and Star Trek, and many almost forgotten such as Willy and Grand Jury. This book focuses on another aspect of Desilu - the all but forgotten TV pilots and unproduced specials contemplated by Desi and Lucy. Chronicled in this work are projects like Desilu's version of Dallas - not a soap opera but a Western, an anthology series hosted by the artist Salvador Dali, Gene Roddenberry's cop dramas, Code 100 and Police Story, parodies of The Untouchables and The Flintstones, Desi's unproduced sitcom comeback titled Chairman of the Board, and a 1961 unproduced TV special that would have starred Lucy along with Vivian Vance and William Frawley and perhaps Desi Arnaz in a cameo role. These and many other such projects are chronicled for the first time in The Forgotten Desi and Lucy TV Projects The Desilu Series and Specials that Might Have Been. Richard Irvin is the author of several books about television history including Four Star Television Productions: A History of the Business, Series, and Pilots of the Iconic Television Production Company, The Early Shows: A Reference Guide to Network and Syndicated Prime-Time Television Series from 1944 to 1949, and Spinning Laughter: Profiles of 111 Proposed Comedy Spin-offs and Sequels that Never Became a Series - all from BearManor Media.
