After filming the final episode of the 1966 to 1967 season, Lucille Ball had overworked Director Maury Thompson to the point he was in tears. Maury Thompson then confided to fellow co-worker Tommy Thompson (who were not related) that, after working him so hard and insisting on her own ways during the filming, he wanted Lucille Ball to give him a raise, but not to say anything about it until after he returned from a South American vacation he would take the next week. Unfortunately, Tommy spilled the beans to her while Maury was away, and she became infuriated, after which she re-hired Jack Donahue, who directed all of this show's episodes during the first three seasons, to direct the series' final season episodes. Upon returning from his vacation the following week, Maury Thompson was blithely informed by Tommy Thompson that Lucille Ball had canned him.
