Introducing ‘I Love Lucy’…<\/p>\n

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz will carry their real life domestic partnership into professional life when they team up as a husband and wife on a new CBS-TV domestic comedy series, \u201cI Love Lucy,\u201d making its debut Monday, October 15 (CBS-TV, 9:00-9:30PM, EST).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When the CBS promo staff wrote this in a “News From CBS” memo on August 31, 1951, no one could have predicted that the show which debuted at 9 PM, Monday night October 15, 1951 would be such a stupendous world wide hit…but it was. Today, random episodes will air in over 20 countries.<\/p>\n

‘I Love Lucy’ premiered as part of a CBS Monday night line-up that included:<\/p>\n

7:30PM – CBS News with Douglas Edwards
\n7:45PM – The Perry Como Show

\n8:30PM – Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts
\n9:00PM – I Love Lucy
