After deciding to end "I Love Lucy" at its peak in the spring of 1957, Desi and Lucy opted for frequent hour-long specials centering around the same characters that made the original show such a blockbuster. These 13 shows were extremely popular with audiences but varied wildly in quality with "Lucy and Desi's Summer Vacation"(1959)with Ida Lupino and the last one "Lucy and the Mustache" (1960) with Ernie Kovacs very mediocre but this episode with Paul Douglas is a delight. Superb script has Lucy finally get that showbiz job this time as Douglas' weather girl on a morning TV show. It's an absolute hoot but obviously very few have seen it though it is on video from CBS(?).
