I know I read where Lucie Arnaz said "Here's Lucy" was canceled by CBS. But, for a variety of reasons, mostly obvious ones, Lucille Ball released to the press that she indeed ended the show of her choice. By the mid-1970s, CBS chose to go into a different direction with their programming.

As you can see, there was a lot of press attention. And, as shown in a couple of these, ratings were pretty good in the final months (top 20). http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstra...89D85F408785F9 http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...9;s+lucy&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...+neilsen&hl=en http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...+neilsen&hl=en
