- Friday marks 70 years since "I Love Lucy" made its debut on CBS. It was a major hit at the time and went on to a life in syndication and streaming that continues to this day. The show had a big impact on television and also on a small town in upstate New York. Jamie Wax has more.
“CBS Saturday Morning” co-hosts Jeff Glor, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson deliver two hours of original reporting and breaking news, as well as profiles of leading figures in culture and the arts.

I started watching Lucy as a kid in the 90s and to this day, it makes me laugh harder than ever.
Best show ever! I have watched “I Love Lucy” everyday for almost 40 years. ♥️LEGEND♥️
Do you have a favorite episode? I have to say “First Stop” is mine. Best show of all time.
Nobody made us laugh like Lucy and nobody ever will. She can never be replaced.
I always have time for Lucy Ethel Ricki and Fred. Hilarious!!
I still Love Lucy!!!
70 years ago and the episodes were shot in black and white and it still look so sharp. Nothing was computer generated. I love Lucy is a timeless classic.
Jeff Glor, born and raised near Buffalo, NY, who anchors CBS Saturday Morning was certainly instrumental
in bringing this important anniversary to national attention. Jamestown is about 60 miles south of Buffalo, NY.
My heartfelt thanks to Jeff Glor, Jamie Wax and CBS......... Go Buffalo, Go Bills..... We all loved LUCY!!!!!!
My favorite episode was Lucy in the candy factory
When I was growing up in southwestern New York State in the 1950s and 1960s we never thought of Jamestown as a small town. To us it was the big city!
You’re right: it’s a (very) small city but a city nonetheless. America (and upstate NY) is full of them. A “small town” is another matter. Compared to BYC; Chicago; LA; etc- everything is a “small town.”

Proud to have made my home in Jamestown and was a part of the changes in town for the last 10 years! Come see the NCC!
What is the efficient way to get to Jamestown, NY?
@@RaymondHng Take I 90.
@@trawlins396 I mean by plane/airports.
@@RaymondHng oh. Well you could fly right into Chautauqua. It's not far from Jamestown. It's a beautiful lake resort town. I live in Pittsburgh so we drove to the area.
@@trawlins396 Which airline flys into JHW? It appears there are no more permanent airline tenants.
I want to go to that museum!
Go to both the Lucy Desi museum and the national comedy museum it's worth the time I have been to both.
@@beverlydust5381 I've been to both also. Both great.
I think the world will probably always love Lucy…
I have been to the National Comedy Museum and the Lucy and Desi Museum in Jamestown New York.
Probably saw all 180 episodes at least twice along with every other program she was part of...❤ Lucy still!
I’m definitely heading to Jamestown.
Thanks 4 the memories❕Your show 📺 gave me many years of enjoyment... I ❤ Lucy.
So I will go back and reconnect with my Puerto Rico Singer friend after the State of Massachusetts. I look forward to meeting that singer, she kept me living.
This was and still is the greatest show ever in the world. I have been watching 4 episodes on DVD daily. I love the 50 s and Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball were extremely good looking. They have brought so much happiness in my life. Fred and Ethel and the little boy too., 💜🙏💜just great true entertainment., wonderful 🙊🙋♀️
Two kids in their 20's.!!! I want his secret. Anyway, long live Lucy!
I STILL LOVE Lucille Ball the Queen of all female Comedy.....Long gone but never EVER forgotten😢😥😢
one thing that i admit is USA are really best at doing museums,they are all incredible,never visited USA,but from what i've seen over the web ,videos,photos i'm speechless,i wish i could visit this Comedy Museum and the Academy Museum , I LOVE LUCY!
there is no other show that makes me laugh as hard as Lucy did. Well before my time but that is when comedy was comedy with no fluff. Talented dame.
I love Lucy❗️💕♥️
April 26, 1989. I was stationed in Bamberg (West) Germany pulling duty as a sentry for Warner Barracks when we got the news from our SOG (Sgt of the Guard) during the dark, early hours of that day.
I don't know why, but it didn't seem possible somehow.
But then again alot of things didn't seem possible...
The student revolt at Tiananmen Square...
The Berlin Wall had crumbled...
The loss of someone very dear to me. She was only 19...
RIP to all who passed before me...
🌿✝️🌎🌤️💕
Love Lucille, Im a 70s baby, I grew up watching her, Andy Griffith, Mama's family. I cld go on and on bout those shows. That was a better time. A time where everyone cared about each other. It's so sad to know and see what our world, society has become! I pray that things get better for everyone.
I did to grow up l love Lucy♥️
That's what every generation says about the ones before. I can tell you, the 1950s were no paradise.
Lucy and Desi were the first power couple on television, sitcoms and were interracial.
They are the same race.
@@TSR228 they can't be because Desi was Cuban.
@@darlenegoodwin More important than visible skin tone, it was CBS who viewed them as an "interracial" couple and would not greenlight the series until Lucy issued them an ultimatum: "it's either me & Desi together or you get nothing". She had the leverage because her "My Favorite Husband" radio series was extremely successful. CBS needed Lucy more than Lucy needed CBS.
A World 🌎 without "I Love Lucy" is NO Kind of World I wanna live in.... We'll ALWAYS and FOREVER Love Lucy and RESPECT Comedy!!!

Classic Moments..EVER..
I 💖LUCY..💖💖💖
Congratulations to I Love Lucy from 1951.
I love you Lucy. Best childhood memories. ❤️
I long for those days when all Americans can enjoy entertainment regardless of politics-when everything isn't looked through the prism of race or sexuality, or the fear of offending some person or groups. This is why "I Love Lucy" and older shows are a classic that is still funny today.
Exactly. Every tv show wants to appear "woke"
I would love to visit the comedy museum someday.
Just read her biography. Was surprised to learn she wasn't a very nice person, but still she was a comedy genius!!! ❤️
You had to be tough to be a woman keeping your earnings, let alone producing, back then in Hollywood.
06:22 I love Lucy's hair like that. ❤
Best show, it was an easy watch. Great cast
love this show forever
I really love this woman. She insisted to CBS her real husband be her husband on the show so she could spend time with him. CBS said who will believe a white woman has a husband of color (this was the 1940s) and she said well it is the truth he is my husband, so you take both of us or neither. It was bold and ahead of her time. I love people like her. She also stood up to a smear campaign calling her a communist. She was an amazing actress and person. Every person that saw her has a place in their heart for her. That's a special beautiful quality. Glad she is being celebrated.
I named my bunny Lucy just so I could say Lucy I'm home every night. And I always think of her. I love you Lucy!🖤
Lucy was one of a kind!!
My favorite, with Carol Brunt, Lily Tomlin, Kathleen Madigan, George Carlin, Gilda Radner,
Laughter heals the heart,
usually after a-couple tears cleansed it.
Thank you, all that help us Laugh!
I used to have one share in Desilu Studios! I recall when the stock was worthless because the studio failed. It's amazing that such a popular show resulted in the failure of that studio and the stock. Too bad! I wonder if anyone will give honorable mention to my uncle, Milt Josefsberg, who wrote many of the I Love Lucy episodes? Is he represented in that museum at all?
I have been to the museum and they do, do tributes to the writers of the shows and the costume designers in the museum I can't recall any of the names though but there are several displays where they show script and pictures of people who were behind the scenes like the camera people make up people and script writers so it might be worth going to see for yourself.
lucy and desie were geniuses
We miss Lucy. RIP
that reporter has 2 kids in their 20's he looks like he in his 30's
They don't make them like this nomore
❤️
Jamestown is not in upstate New York, it’s in Western New York.
Good catch!
I would appreciate closed captioning included, and preferably actual captions of what’s being spoken, not TH-cam’s rather poor attempt to automate it.
4:06.... oooo HAHT.
💜😊
😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️💓💓💓
lucy and desi were pioneers
the worst thing to happen was when lucy allowed her second husband to talk her into selling off desilu productions
im glad this dream came to fruition
Hair dresser's appointment from Ethel. That's who loved Lucy. "Oh, Lucy."
Nice CBS remembered.
Upstate New York? Wouldn't that be to the north? Sure looks like it's in the south west corner...
Because of the enormously lopsided population distribution, the perspective of NYC area residents is pretty much how the rest of the state is referenced. Anything north & west of the Catskills is considered "upstate".
You are right. It is considered Western, NY. Also called the Southern Tier. I am from Jamestown but haven't been back in many years. Hope to visit next Fall.
They consider 30,000 a small town lol, compared to NYC , LA , Chicago ext yea !
Still a classic.
Luci was quite the actor before I Love Luci.
Beautiful, and talented.
And Nicole Kidman is going to play her in a new major motion picture... I know when I think comedic genius and icon of classic Americana I think Nicole Kidman...
Umm yeah…. and we all know how well it went the LAST time Kidman portrayed an iconic sitcom comedienne? Like when she was cast as Samantha opposite Wil Farrell in the “Bewitched” movie from 2005? Have we learned nothing?
7:30 yas girl that was the joke. Obviously everyone knew her hair was red.
I never took note of what an attractive women ball was until the ILL episode "Ricky's Movie Offer" when ball came out in a M.Monroe get-up....few weeks ago happened across a 1943 movie (Du Barry Was a Lady) while channel surfing, n was ttly shocked when the has a scene that called for a close-up of Ball during a musical number, never realized her eyes were gray, she was stunning in the scene.
In Germany totally unknown!
I have to go
I thought her hometown was Celeron NY. When Intel came out with their Celeron chipset I heard they were named after Lucy's hometown.
Celoron is a small village that borders the city of Jamestown, so it's part of "metro Jamestown."
She was born on 69 Stewart in Jamestown.
Not a single, black comedic icon featured in this report:/
Good thing they have great interactive exhibits because they missed on getting the top museum designers.
I have been to both the Lucy Desi museum and the national comedy museum and it's worth going to both.
I wish Desi had a better childhood and wasn’t inculcated in the machismo of his culture as he cheated on Lucy continuously.
They loved each other but his philandering and alcoholism destroyed their lives.
😞
Ok, soo do they have Hispanic comedians like Paul Rodriquez, George Lopez, Fluffy ?? And black comedians too?? Cause I didn't see that. They also mark history
3:35 Richard Pryor
Desi Arnaz, for one
Yes they do I have been there and they have Paul Rodriguez and George Lopez and Richard Pryor Bill Cosby it's worth going to so is the Lucy Desi museum
@@beverlydust5381 oh, cool
@@lilianamedina1724 I have been there it's an experience I would not miss.Its very interactive and you pick the comediennes you want to see.They have videos,props, and even hand written notes from some of the comediennes.They have a Blue room for adults only, words that are not kid friendly.I also suggest that you go to the Lucy Desi museum as well it's only two blocks away and quite interesting.
How is that "upstate NY". Bottom left corner.
I'm more shocked that 1951 was 70 years ago... also wow zero masks in that museum
They are not going. Lies!!
