Happy 100th Birthday Lucille Ball! I Love Lucy (filmed in the 1950s) was a daily syndicated staple of our 1970s TV viewing. I watched Lucy cause trouble for husband Ricky pretty much every weekday and was a big fan. Really though, who wasn’t? The fact that the show ran right before The Brady Bunch re-runs didn’t hurt either.
Let’s celebrate this fine comedic actress with a scene from her 1970s series Here’s Lucy. Below, we have a snippet of teen heartthrob Donny Osmond singing “Too Young” to Lucy and Eve Plumb (aka Jan Brady) in the November 20, 1972 episode. Happy Birthday!
