The Lucy Show

Weekdays at 11a ET | 8a PT

In the follow-up to I Love Lucy, Lucille Ball plays widow Lucy Carmichael, a mother of two children who shares a home with divorced friend Vivian Bagley (Vivian Vance of I Love Lucy fame). Carmichael is always scheming—dragging Vivian along with her—and grappling with comic complications related to life on her own and serving as secretary to the grumpy and demanding Mr. Mooney.

Lucy Gets Amnesia

Lucy again needs money from Mr. Mooney. It should be easy this time--Mooney's fill-in is a former sweetheart of hers. When she can't recall her old pet name for him, she fakes amnesia rather than wreck her chance at easily gotten cash.
