According to the Lucille Ball biography "Ball Of FIre", Desi Arnaz; who was still a co-owner of Desilu at the start of this show; (1962) stood on the side lines after the first taping, watching Viv and Lucy go through their motions in the scene. Supposedly Arnaz cried a little bit watching this; feeling sad that he was no longer part of the action. Vivan, after they were done rehearsing, and seeing that Arnaz was crying, came over, put her arm around Desi's shoulder, and consoled him. She said "Oh Desi! I'm sorry! It's not the same, is it?" By "the same" Vivian meant standing on the sidelines was not the same as being one of the onscreen stars; as Desi was on "I Love Lucy." It was a poignant moment and a marking of the passage of time from the glory days when Arnaz, Ball, Frawley and Vance were living it up in their classic series and performing together. Interestingly, Arnaz would not make an appearance on this show; but his onscreen co-hort Bill Frawley did, in 1965 towards the end of the series' run on the "Lucy and the Countess Have a Horse Guest" episode.
