Arnaz made a guest appearance on the TV series Alice, starring Linda Lavin and produced by I Love Lucy writers Madelyn Pugh (Madelyn Davis) and Bob Carroll, Jr. This episode is directed by William Asher, who was the director on 'I LOVE LUCY', which starred Desi Arnaz along with his real-life wife Lucille Ball. Asher directed more than 100 episodes of 'I Love Lucy'. Desi Arnaz must have felt very much at home on this set while filming ALICE.
TV Series 'Alice' also starred: Beth Howland, Polly Holliday, and Vic Tayback.

It was rare for Desi Arnaz to make a TV appearance after "I Love Lucy" was over, so it was always a treat to see him. I wish he had done more because he still had 'it.'

@johndavis3921 2 года назад

Mr. Hatfield, According to the Internet Movie Database, Mr. Arnaz Concentrated mostly on producing. He produced 2,487 episodes of TV including some films. This total DOES NOT include the shows he produced while working on "I Love Lucy". On Mar 14, 1974, Mr. Arnaz Guest Started on an Episode of Ironside entitled "Riddle at 24,000". It was created as a backdoor pilot for a NEW Fictional Mystery Investigative series. NBC Decided to Pass on the show.

This is interesting, because Desi Arnaz produced it, but not with Desilu. I believe by that time (I could be wrong) that he had sold his Desilu shares to Lucy. In fact, I thought he quit television. So I've always wondered what got him to come back and make the MIL show.

Hard to believe that this was 45 years ago, remember watching this like it was yesterday...

It's strange to see this after seeing Linda Lavin in "Being the Ricardos."

😆I know, right? EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Never knew about that appearance. Boy, he really elevated that material. He was golden. For me, this show was avoided and was part of 70s tv sitcom fodder. I didn't like the cast, or premise or the painfully flat humor. Made Gilligan's Island look like Shakespear.

Comedies back then were so cool and funny compared with the preachy crap today

@farrellmcnulty909 Год назад

Yep - no special episode of "Alice", I don't think. There were at least 85,000 special episodes of "One Day at a TIme". I liked the cast, but I'm not sure I could watch it these days. Too cringe.

I just had breakfast and lunch at Mel's Diner

@blabbermouth777 2 года назад

I didn’t like the movie this was based on and that was directed by Martin Scorsese. Can’t believe they made a show out of it. I think the Mel’s Dinner scene in 5e movie was maybe fifteen minutes long. But I am curious to see Dezy on this. Especially seeing Bob Carroll is writing.

If only he didn't do so much molding in real life but who doesn't love Desi. He was so so cute, even older. I hope he's back with that famous red head we ALL LOVE!
