Reviews

Merrill Panitt
Philadelphia Inquirer
There wasn't anything subtle about it, but there didn't have to be, and the laughs came thick and fast. Casting was nigh onto perfect, and while the show won't win any prizes for advancing the art of television, it's bound to make a hit with viewers.

It was one of the best examples of what can be done on film with the proper lighting, camera crews, stars and story.

Their antics are about as delicate as the kick of a Missouri mule and they dig deep into the old hokum bucket for their material. Yet; all in all, Lucille and Desi do manage to win laughs.
