Episode 10
Tuesday, 5 May, 2026
It's all led this: Chapter 10, prepping the first ‘I Love Lucy’ episode. And we begin with another perfect storm, this time of logistics. Where will they shoot in L.A., and HOW with multi-cam on 35mm film, in front of a live audience? Not to mention in front of the camera had its own issues. Remember the Pilot didn’t have the Mertzes; and now they needed to find them. Rehearsals got under way in the same space construction crews were still building sets. And Lucille herself? Coddling her pregnancy (understandably; after all, it was ten years in the making). Then we’ll close-out the season, our story, on Saturday, September 8th, 1951; the first official ‘I Love Lucy’ shoot day. Would it be a hit? Maybe. The conservative estimates in their favor? Rooting FOR them? They had a fifty-fifty shot. Please chime in here with your questions & comments, or just sharing your love of Lucille Ball and her road to ‘I Love Lucy!’ Thanks for listening ...
