Willviv options Desilu's failed Maggie Brown pilot and recasts with Merman understudy Vivan Vance

Willviv's variety show pilot "Bill Frawley Sings the Old Ones" sits on the shelf next to "Maggie Brown"

Under Frawley's helm, Willviv submits their sitcom pilot script "The Betty Grable Show" to Betty in which she falls "legs over heels" for a slightly-older diary-writing ex-vaudevillian.    Grable's agent: "Nertz!!"

Love these! I'd watch them all, even "Bill Frawley Sings the Old Ones."

Trouble abounds on the set of new Lucy Calls The President reboot as technicians have a hell of a time trying to balance contrast between Ball’s hair and President’s skin.

Manhattan Nightclub Performer Claims to Be Latest in String of "Suspicious Package" Recipients

NYPD was on the scene at the home of Tropicana Headliner Ricky Ricardo this morning when a mysterious package arrived at his door. Fearing that he was the latest in a lineup of targets that includes former president Barack Obama and Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the "Babalu" singer said he only contacted authorities at the urging of his wife, Lucille, who claimed to have no clue where the package could have come from. The bomb squad arrived at 623 East 68th Street at 10:17 AM as the building was being evacuated. The package was opened and revealed to contain nothing but a new hat, recently purchased at the Gimbel's Basement Sale. According to a testimony from the Ricardo's landlady, Mrs. Frederick H. Mertz, Mrs. Ricardo purchased the hat with hopes that her husband wouldn't discover it. As soon as he did, she created the "suspicious package" ruse to avoid being chastised for her spendthrift ways. When questioned, other residents of the apartment building said they had no plans to press charges against the Ricardo's, stating that "this kind of thing happens all the time around here."

This is great! Would definitely make a viable plot for a modern-day episode.
