    Where to Watch

Lucille Ball's final series, but not her finest half-hour. She played a madcap (as usual) widow who inherited part-ownership of a hardware store (her 'Lucy Show' nemesis Gale Gordon played the co-owner). Viewers didn't respond, so ABC killed it after just eight episodes. 'I Love Lucy' vets Madelyn Davis and Bob Carroll Jr. were the series creators, and Ball and Aaron Spelling the executive producers.
