    Carol and Lucille have such a precious friendship. It seems as though
    they are kindred spirits. I had came across this article one day where Carol
    had said, "She would always send me flowers on my birthday," Burnett revealed."[Years later], she died on my birthday, April 26. That afternoon I got flowers from her. It said, 'Happy birthday, kid.' "💗

      I had also heard that story, and mentioned it in other posts. Several years ago my mom and I traveled from upstate New York to visit Jamestown to attend the birthday festival weekend birthday party. So much to do, people and stars to meet, many many events to attend. We even stayed an extra day. It was well worth the expense and travel time. Even the weather cooperated for the days we were there. We had planned to make another visit, but my mom was ill and passed away. She was elderly, and the people in Jamestown were very helpful and caring to her. At the time Ric Wyman was the director and was very accommodating for us. We still keep in touch after so many years. Such a fond memory. Would love to return someday!!! I ❤ LUCY🙂

    I loved watching Carol Burnett, I Love Lucy, and Lucille Ball when I was a kid. Mr, Mooney and Ricky Ricardo was such a stick in the mud to Lucy!!!! I sure wish I could go back to those days! Things seemed so much more simple back then. I'm sure it would not have seemed that way if I had been an adult back then. It sure seems so much more complicated and dire now though.

      Really? Next to Lucy, Carol Burnett is one of the most beloved female entertainers in American TV. Being a very big Lucy fan, I have to admit I think Carol is more talented than Lucy because Lucy has admitted she is not a great singer or dancer, but Lucy is a phenomenal physical comedienne, on par with being an athlete, even when she was in her 60s.

      If you watch a string of HERE'S LUCY episodes, it's funny how many times Lucy and others in the cast wore the color BLUE. You don't notice it after watching one or two episodes, but it becomes apparent if you watch a bunch of them at one time. I think BLUE is one of the colors that shows up beautifully on TV.

      @@rtususian yes, and she also made mention of networks nowadays never agreeing to hire a newcomer with no experience like Vicki Lawrence - or letting her go very quickly. I guess they were a little less myopic and corrupt back in the late 60s/early 70s. In some ways, Carol's show remains remarkably current. Yeah, the clothes are different but a lot of the sketches have not dated at all. A sign of great art - it outlives those who created it.

    They had Lucy on so many times, why didn't they ever have Desi or Vivian Vance? They should have. Maybe not in the same episode with Lucy but still they were great comedians in their own right.

      There are some people who Carol wanted on the show but they declined. One was Elizabeth Montgomery. There is a clip of Elizabeth having a conversation with Carol during a Q&A about the movie they did together. I think in deference to Lucy's divorce, Carol would not have Desi on the show. It's possible she invited Viv but maybe she declined? FYI, Desi Sr. and Lucie Arnaz appeared on LAUGH-IN, separately though.

      @@rtususian well, yeah she probably just wasn't friends with them - not in a bad way. I think her husband (Producer) Joe Hamilton was looking for a certain kind of personality/actor to appear and that's why they had a lot of the same people back regularly - there's a rather long list of them! There were a good number of then-famous comedians who never appeared on the show probably for the reason that they couldn't put together sketch/musical material for them. Sometimes they'd have the huge A-listers like Gloria Swanson on, and it was more of a challenge because they were usually not comedically trained or comedy was not their forte. Anyhoo, Carol's show was the greatest of its kind. I think even Garry Moore would agree! Her show was on for 11 years and could've gone on even longer if she'd wanted it to I think!
