Was the show Desi guest starred on called The in-Laws---or something like that? I know about the Alice one--I have that one on tape.

YES!!!! That's it!!!! But I have never seen this show! I wonder if Grandpa Claude has?

Desi also directed the show!

I remember The Mothers-in-Law. It only aired for one or two seasons in the mid 1960s and starred Eve Arden and Kay Ballard. I heard Desi guest starred on an episode, but don't remember seeing it.

I did see it and vaguely remember it, it was so so. Same as Lucy, it meant more because it was Desi actually doing something different from i Love Lucy, but the show was up against Ed Sullivan, so it didn't have a chance, it lasted one and a half seasons i think. There was ONE Lucy reference. Eve Arden is dancing with her husband and he says something like, who's the gorgeous redhead and Eve answers, WELL IT AIN'T LUCILLE BALL! Got a HUGE laugh of course. Desi got blackmailed by one of the stars for a huge pay hike, so he replaced him with a different actor in the second season. I don't think i ever saw that actor again.

I may be wrong, but i think that richard Deacon replaced that actor, Roger C Carmel! Richard had starred on Dick Van Dyke of course and in the Tallulah ep of the Lucy Desi comedy hour!
