I think it’s still hilarious and holds up very well.
Meh. The show seemed tacky to me even as a child. Straight man Fred Mertz was the only regular character I found likable.
One little known fact.......when the series ended, Desi Arnaz, who considered himself a good businessman, sold back the entire series to its broadcaster, CBS.
The Arnaz’s got a goodly sum.... about four million dollars for the series.....but if they had only known about reruns.
CBS has made a ton of money on the reruns.....and has sold individual packages of the programs for about 95 dollars each....a huge money-maker.
It’s been rumored that years later, Arnaz was still kicking himself for that deal.
