The Sunday reruns of "I Love Lucy" were called "The Sunday Lucy Show." That's confusing, given that Lucy's next series, "The Lucy Show," did debut in 1962, but who would have known that in 1955, when "I Love Lucy" was number two in the ratings, behind "The $64,000 Question," and would again be number one in 1956-57 despite the inroads of "Twenty-One," against it on NBC Mondays at 9 (ET)?

WBRC in Birmingham ran "I Love Lucy" reruns weekdays at 5 (CT) and Sundays at 5:30 for several years in the late '60s and early '70s. They referred to the Sunday shows as "The Sunday Lucy Show."
