Lucy Carter, a widow with two teen children, takes a job as a secretary for her stuffy brother-in-law.
Here’s Lucy, which ran on CBS from 1968-1974, was the fourth hit TV show starring the most beloved comedienne of her time - the immortal Lucille Ball. In this series, Lucy's first that ran from beginning to end in full-color with her trademark hair shining bright, she plays Lucy Carter, a widow raising two teenaged children played by her real-life children Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz, Jr.

These 24 episodes (hand-picked by Lucie and Desi Jr.) of Here's Lucy are packed with Ball's trademark slapstick comedy, but it's her guests that make this a classic TV experience. Stars like Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton, Carol Burnett, Jackie Gleason, Johnny Carson, Milton Berle and Jack Benny are characters in her humorous adventures. Musical talent like Ann-Margret, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Wayne Newton offer memorable performances within the story.
