Lucyilove Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 These are Lucy's TV appearances as herself on variety shows, talk and game shows. Not included are her own TV specials or things with just archive footage of her. This is from IMDb and is obviously missing many credits; she certainly was on Entertainment Tonight more than once. She was also interviewed by Allan Thicke on something around the time of LIFE WITH LUCY and did a three-part interview with Gary Collins for HOUR MAGAZINE in that period. I also recall she was interviewed with Lucie on Tom Snyder's TOMORROW SHOW in early 1981 in which she bitched about latterday train travel (and Lucie was sardonic about the less than great reception to her first major film The Jazz Singer).

It's pretty difficult to submit additional credits on IMDb for the really big stars like Lucy, presumably they attempt to fact check it with the estate or agents or something. They don't have her mid 1970's Donahue appearance or a Merv Griffin special episode from the mid 70's with Lucie, Desi Jr, and Gary that I found the info on either on those somewhere on the web but IMDb wouldn't add them.

Lucyilove Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I watched the three-part Hour Magazine interview with Gary Collins to promote LIFE WITH LUCY the other day, Gale Gordon appears in part two and reads a bit of his touching introduction to Bart Andrews' LOVING LUCY book. Does anybody know what show the interview with Alan Thicke is from? I'm guessing some sort of Fall Preview thing on ABC at the start of the season LWL premiered.

That's exactly what it was, i saw it and have it recorded, it was a preview of ABC's Fall line up, i only taped the Lucy part of course and all of the shows promoted failed very quickly. I wish i knew how all of the stuff WORKS because Lucy looked old and had trouble speaking at times on this whereas with Joan Rivers, weeks later, she seemed young and vibrant even discussing the reviews that devestated her and the show's struggling in the ratings.

Lucyilove Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Lucyilove: Please give me some more details of Collins' interview - dates, etc., for the chronology; additionally Thicke information. Thanks....JK Unfortunately, I don't have any other information such as air dates or the title of the special with Thicke. I would imagine the Thicke special was aired on ABC in August or early September 1986 since it was a Fall Preview program as Claude confirmed and the Hour magazine interviews were probably broadcast between September to November 1986 since there's no hint in them that LWL is in jeopardy. I just thought of another Lucy TV appearance that's not on IMDb. She was a guest star on one of Tennessee Ernie Ford's variety specials on NBC circa 1970-71; I was just nine or so at the time but one bit I remember from it was Lucy feigning she had never heard of Ford's song "Sixteen Tons" and then he sang it as she snapped her fingers to the music. I would imagine she had other segments on the special. Anybody remember more about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 1. Lucy appearances: Maybe YOUNG WATSON knows about this because I can't remember the show. I think I had it on tape once. It's the reason I refused to throw away a big box of old VHS tapes that are sketchily labeled. It's footage of Lucy at some big charity event wearing the bat-winged "It's Today" outfit being serenaded with "Mame" by a chorus of men. This footage, which was just a clip; not the whole number, was shown on something like "Hour Magazine". All I remember is that it was well after the movie came out and she looked great! If I indeed had it on tape, it would have to have been 1980 or later. 2. I had never seen Lucy hosting "best of 3's company" before. If this is the "best", I don't regret missing it. The smarminess never appealed to me and doesn't sound like Lucy's kind of comedy at all, though she says it is. She obviously loved John. And he is the best thing about the show. I have never heard a bad word said about John Ritter...but then again, I've never met his ex-wife. It's presentational like most of the videotaped comedies of the era but it seems more so than most with mugging reactions directly into the camera. Before this show I had never seen Audra Lindley in anything. I didn't think she was any good until I saw "Best Friends" with Goldie Hawn and Burt Reynolds as a "young" couple in love. Audra played Burt's mother and you'd never know they were the same actress. If I had never seen Don Knotts in Andy Griffith, I wouldn't know his true genius from "3's". One segment dealt with John's skill with physical comedy. While he's not BAD, he's nowhere near the level of Lucy or the silent comedians she compares him to. All you have to do is compare his hammock scene with Lucy's to see my point. I didn't realize John also did Lucy's bit of getting stuck in the lotus position at least 6 years after Here's Lucy! Again, pretty good, but not nearly as deft as Lucy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Variety shows: The Jack Gleason Show (Eddie Cantor at 65 - 1/12/57 - with Desi) The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour (9/28/71 - Lucy, Arte Johnson, Gale) Did not remember that Lucy had done the Glen Campbell show, wish she had done the Smothers Brothers one too. As for Jackie Gleason, she also did a cameo on his show for his birthday. It was her good friend Sheilah MacRae who did imitations of celebs and then went backstage to prepare to do Lucy, but instead, it was Lucy herself who came out, i forget with which other male celeb.

C L A U D E Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Wow now to search you tube for those I haven't seen. Man, i'd kill to see all those Dinah shows, i only have a few of them. As well as the many Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yes, I figured IMDb was missing many talk show appearances, they are pretty hard to track down as the companies that own them don't market them and can't be bothered generally with submitting the information on the episodes. It's pretty difficult to submit additional credits on IMDb for the really big stars like Lucy, presumably they attempt to fact check it with the estate or agents or something. They don't have her mid 1970's Donahue appearance or a Merv Griffin special episode from the mid 70's with Lucie, Desi Jr, and Gary that I found the info on either on those somewhere on the web but IMDb wouldn't add them. Still, it's nice to see who guested along with her on some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, pretty good, but not nearly as deft as Lucy. NOBODY can do anything as well as Lucy did. And wasn't BEST FRIENDS with Burt Reynolds a terrific movie, Goldie, Audra, all of them were great in it too. Now you guys are so tough on Three's Company, remember when it was popular, it aired with other shows like Laverne and Shirley and Happy Days and later Mork and Mindy. Not exactly the best comedy shows of all time but they all had great casts and some great moments here and there. Three's Company was all about misunderstandings and wrong conclusions but John Ritter definitely proved he had talent, like Lucy, he could make hamburger look like steak.

Lucy was interviewed by Pat Mitchell (now president of the Paley Center for Media) on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
