 I Love Lucy Life
Apart from its content, the show also changed forever the way TV comedies were made, paving the way as the 30-minute situation comedy increasingly replaced the once-dominant hour-long comedy variety show.
While all four principal characters, Lucy and Ricky Ricardo (Ball and Arnaz) and their neighbors, Fred and Ethel Mertz (William Frawley and Vivian Vance) became beloved fixtures in tens of millions of homes, it was Ball who won over the world with her tempestuous, disaster-prone Lucy.
Two years after her divorce, Ball brought the character of Lucy back, on The Lucy Show, which ran from 1962 to 1968, and Here's Lucy, from 1968 to 1974.
