Life
With Lucy
Life with Lucy is an American sitcom starring television icon Lucille Ball. The show was a critical and ratings flop.
In order to get Ball to agree to a new series, ABC allowed her complete creative control, no requirement to make a pilot episode, and no requirement for testing before focus groups or other tryouts.
As all of Ball's previous TV efforts had proven to be hugely successful, the network acquiesced to these demands, even though she was at the time 75 years old and her long-time co-star Gale Gordon was 80.
Gordon's slow burn comic timing was reminiscent of his previous characters in The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy, and he was coaxed out of retirement in Palm Springs on the condition that he would be paid for a full season, regardless of whether the show was renewed.
