	Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse
		By the late 1950s, the company was producing, through a variety of financial arrangements (wholly owning, co-producing, leasing of facilities and personnel), several situation comedies and western dramas.
		Departing from the standard practice of networks committing to series only after a sponsor had agreed to bankroll production costs, CBS bought Desilu Playhouse on the strength of the Desilu track record and with a promise that The Lucy-Desi Hour would be among the planned package of dramas, comedies, and musical spectaculars.
		Although Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse did prove Desilu to be multi-faceted at telefilm production, Desi Arnaz did not get a chance to expand his acting range, and the musical spectaculars he had envisioned producing for the series fell short of the quantity and quality promised to Westinghouse.

	Desilu Productions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For the first few years of "I Love Lucy," Desilu rented space at General Service Studios (what is now the Hollywood Center Studios), on Santa Monica Boulevard and Las Palmas Avenue in the Hollywood section of the City of Los Angeles.
		As Desilu was a growing company, they soon outgrew their first space and in 1953 bought their own studio: the Motion Picture Center on Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood, at the site of what is now the Ren-Mar rental studio; most of I Love Lucy was filmed there.
		Another Desilu loss was Carol Burnett, who declined to star in a sitcom for the studio in favor of a weekly variety show that ultimately lasted eleven seasons.

	Desilu - Memory Alpha - A Wikia wiki
		Desilu was a production company formed in 1951 by Lucille Ball and her husband, Desi Arnaz.
		Her success continued unabatedly until 1967 when Ball sold Desilu to Gulf+Western which merged it with its other production company (the studio's next-door neighbor), Paramount.
		Desilu had a first-refusal agreement with CBS, which is why Star Trek was first pitched to that network.

	Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse
		In a move that surprised the television industry, Desilu sold the show not to longtime home CBS, but to ABC, the weakest of the three broadcast networks-a decision that caused a strain in the relationship between Arnaz and CBS Chairman Bill Paley.
		Soon after, the Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse was cancelled, ending both the Arnaz marriage and the nine-year saga of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo.
		Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse was a last gasp for the 1950’s television anthology and the Arnaz marriage.

	Desilu - Synopsis - Moviefone
		Desilu was formed in 1951 by Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz as the production company for their popular weekly sitcom I Love Lucy.
		The success of this program, coupled with Arnaz' uncanny business and financial acumen, enabled Desilu to grow and expand, ultimately taking over the studios previously occupied by the couples' former employers, RKO Radio Pictures.
		Her success continued unabatedly until 1969, when, weary of the pressures of being an executive, Ball sold Desilu to the studio's next-door neighbor, Paramount.

	Amazon.com: Desilu: The Story of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz: Books: Coyne S. Sanders,Tom Gilbert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The famed redhead and her Cuban husband, who met as young Hollywood contract players, pioneered TV situation comedy by starring in their own series and founding Desilu Productions, which was responsible for such other hit shows as Star Trek and Mission Impossible.
		Lucille's obsessive involvements with her co-stars and children and Desi's alcoholism and womanizing come to stand out in sharp contrast to the zany TV antics of Lucy and Desi, who remain beloved by the viewing public worldwide.
		I would recommend DESILU without hesitation to anyone interested in a) the life and career of Lucille Ball b)the life and career of Desi Arnaz c)the early days of television d)the company that created some of the most beloved televsion shows in its time and of all times.
