Shabby Apple Loves Lucy

Can you believe that I Love Lucy started in the 1950s? The first debut was aired in 1951; here's a few fun facts about the show:

  • Over 1 billion people in the world today have seen I Love Lucy
  • I Love Lucy never ranked below third in any of its six seasons
  • Desi Arnaz, the youngest of the main characters, was six years younger than Lucille Ball!
  • Vivian Vance was only one year older than Lucille Ball. Part of her contract was that she had to stay at least twenty pounds over-weight so she would look much older than Lucy.
  • 7 out of 10 people with televisions watched The Birth of Little Ricky when it first aired!



I Love LUCY.

This is my FAVORITE show. As a teen, my whole bedroom was in I Love Lucy decor. This included my red and pink painted walls with hearts :) haha!
