Not just the 50's but the 60's too. I dont think anybody has shown this show since Nick at Nite had it, and that was around 1988 or so. Pity.

it is a total pity--I would love to see this show! Ann, Don Porter, a young Ken Berry.

Why isn't there anyone out there with money willing to run a channel devoted to now obscure older series??

At least Desi TRIED to bring her back to TV in "THE MOTHERS-IN-LAW"....if only Ann and Eve Arden hadn't had the same "appearance" and vocal delivery....

From what I have read Ann did not want to be tied down to a regular sitcom at the time. Ann and Lucy remained good friends to the end. I have seen nothing to indicate otherwise.
