Here's Lucy: Season Three

" "Here's Lucy's" Best Season Ever!"
By the time "Here's Lucy" rolled into its third season in the fall of 1970 on CBS, many of Lucille Ball's contemporaries were slowly fading from the television landscape. Stars like Jack Benny, Ed Sullivan, Eddie Albert, and the clan on the "Beverly Hillbillies" were facing retirement as the networks thought the public became tired of seeing these stars week after week. Such was certainly not the case with Lucy. "Here's Lucy" finished its third season as the third highest rated series on network TV and came in as the #1 show on CBS. A lot of this was because by the third season the audience became accustomed to the premise of the series with Lucille acting with her real-life children. The fact too that nearly every big Hollywood star wanted to be on "Here's Lucy" surely helped with the show's ratings. Without a doubt the most popular episode in the series' history is the season opener that debut on September, 14, 1970 entitled "Lucy Meets The Burtons" in which Lucy has none other than...

Here's Lucy Season 3- 5 Stars With More Great Guest Stars!
Here's Lucy Season 3 will be available for purchase on June 15,2010! MPI Home Video has done an absolutely fantastic job of making beautifully restored, great prints of these old shows available on dvd with fantastic bonus material! This is another great season of Here's Lucy, beginning with the highest rated show of the series, Lucy Meets The Burtons. Richard Burton is wonderful in this show, especially when he speaks a line from his native Welsh language, in response to Lucy asking him if he's English. Lucy steals the show at the end when she has to use her hand with Elizabeth's ring still on it, as Elizabeth's hand. You can't stop laughing at Lucy's comedic genius!

There are so many guest appearances in this season by Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Sammy Davis Jr., Gary Morton, Buddy Hackett, Joe Jackson Jr., Buddy Rich, Charles Nelson Reilly, Marilyn Maxwell, Vincent Price, Wally Cox, Jack Benny, George Burns, Rudy Vallee, Art Linkletter, Jayne Meadows, Carol...

Here's Lucy Season 3 Excellent!
In my opinion "Here's Lucy" season 3 has some of the best episodes in the serie's history. Here's Lucy was the third highest rated series during the 1970-71 season ranking no. 3 with a 26.1 rating. This was the year that Lucy finally topped "Laugh-In" (which had fallen from no. 1 to no. 15; although while competing against "Laugh-In", "Here's Lucy" never fell out of the top ten shows. Season 3 of "Here's Lucy" also was CBS-TV's no. 1 rated series. The most memorable episode of season three was "Lucy Meets the Burtons" which premiered in September of 1970 and was the no. 1 show for the week and had a whopping 53% share of the television audience. This episode garnered two Emmy Award nominations; one for writer's Bob Carroll, Jr. and Madelyn Davis for Best Writing In A Comedy Series "Lucy Meets the Burtons" and one for Gale Gordon as Best Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series. However, I don't understand how the television academy overlooked Lucille Ball as Best Actress In A Leading...
