The I Love Lucy show debuted in 1951 and ran for 6 seasons. It was based on a comedic red-headed housewife, Lucy, and her Cuban American bandleader husband, Ricky, played by Desi Arnaz. Neighbors Fred and Ethel Mertz, played by Bill Frawley and Vivian Vance, add to the antics, as the four characters get into a new pot of trouble each episode.

I Love Lucy was produced by Desilu Productions, a company owned by real-life couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. It was one of the first TV shows to be filmed using three 35mm cameras, producing a sharper image than most of the other shows at that time. It was the first show to use the technique with a live studio audience.

Lucy and Desi decided to shoot fewer episodes after 1957 and did a series of 1 hour specials, including a new guest star each week. These specials are now collectively known as seasons 7, 8, and 9 and are at Collecting-Celebrity Autographs.com.

I Love Lucy won Emmys for Best Situation Comedy in 1953 and 1954. Lucille Ball won an Emmy for best Comedienne in 1953. In addition, the show was the number one most popular show on TV four out of its six seasons.
