NEW I LOVE LUCY SUPERSTAR SPECIAL, a new one-hour special featuring two colorized back-to-back classic episodes of the 1950s series, to be broadcast tonight, May 22 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The two episodes, "Lucy Visits Grauman's" and "Lucy and John Wayne," are newly-colorized with a vintage look, reminiscent of the 1950s period in which they were filmed. This is similar to episodes presented in "I Love Lucy" specials on the Network last spring and the past few holiday seasons. Previously only shown separately, the two episodes tell a continuous story in one comedy hour for the first time. As with the previous "I Love Lucy" specials, the main titles and end credits are seamlessly combined into one set at the beginning and end of the hour. Academy Award-winning movie legend John Wayne is the special guest star. "I Love Lucy" stars Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, and Vivian Vance and William Frawley, as the Ricardos' best friends, Fred and Ethel Mertz. "Lucy Visits Grauman's" finds Lucy and the Mertzes visiting Hollywood's famed Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where Lucy discovers that the cement slab containing John Wayne's footprints has come loose. Lucy thinks it would be a fabulous souvenir to take home, if only she can come up with a way to take it without being caught.Image courtesy of CBS
