Is that the crooked lawyer from Barney Miller playing the husband in Newly Departed? I watched it and the Lucy show, but not the Tim Conway. I would have been just born at the way. And the Life with Lucy, not the way a legend should end. Good one Ben

Jennifer Lewis

I agree that “Nearly Departed” would have made a good TV movie, but not an entire series. I thought that “Life With Lucy” could have worked if they had Lucille Ball be more age-appropriate and have her and Gale Gordon stick with the verbal spats. Watching a 75-year-old Lucille Ball do slapstick was more worrying than funny. Also, her supporting cast was too weak. One of the reasons for the success in Lucy’s previous shows was STRONG supporting actors and guest stars. She had Gale Gordon, but they needed stronger actors to play her family. John Ritter would have been great as her son-in-law.
