List of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour episodes

The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour ran from November 6, 1957 to its finale on April 1, 1960 as a continuation of sorts from I Love Lucy (which ran on CBS from 1951 to 1957). This tv show had the same cast as "I Love Lucy", employed many of the same featured players, and featured many famous guest stars (at least one or more in each episode). Also, when the Ricardos and Merztes were home, they were still at the Connecticut home which had been introduced in the last 1/2 season of I Love Lucy. A total of 13 episodes were shot and aired usually once a month (or less frequently) during the three years the program was on television.
