Interesting story thanks for sharing. I also liked when they filmed at L.A.X.

I was happy to share it. I thought it was interesting that Lucille Ball herself had her name attached to that article.

I was never crazy about the LAX episode, although it's grown on me a bit in recent years.

I didn't care for the road shows. Lucy was always best in front of a live audience. As for the LAX show, seeing two 60-year-olds running from spies in an airport seemed a little too silly.
