Unlike Ball's previous specials, this one ran 90 minutes (73 minutes without commercials) rather than an hour. The special is clearly divided into two sections, the last half hour devoted solely to Lucy's sitcom pilot "The Music Mart." Whether this was to be an actual pilot for a new series or not is unclear. There are no credits, but the show-within-the-show lasts nearly 26 minutes, the average length of time (in 1980) of a television half hour without commercials. During "The Music Mart" the action never shifts back to Lucy at NBC. Only after the sitcom pilot concludes is there a brief tag in Lucy's NBC office.
