Long thought to be lost, the program was rediscovered by CBS in 1989.
The episode was not included in the series’ long history of rebroadcasts, first on CBS Daytime and later in syndication. “The Christmas Episode” was first broadcast on CBS on Christmas Eve, 1956. Flashbacks recall the night Lucy told Ricky she was pregnant, the time Lucy showed up unexpectedly as part of a barbershop quartet and the day Ricky and the Mertzes rehearsed taking Lucy to the maternity ward. “The Christmas Episode” finds the Ricardos and Mertzes decorating Lucy and Ricky’s Christmas tree and reminiscing about how their lives have changed since the arrival of the Ricardos’ son, Little Ricky (Keith Thibodeaux). “ I LOVE LUCY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL features “The Christmas Episode” and the newly colorized “Paris at Last.” The main titles and end credits are seamlessly combined into one set at the beginning and end of the hour, with no interruption between the episodes. On that date, viewers will see the Christmas episode joined by Paris at Last, which first aired in 1956.ĬBS revealed more about this year’s I Love Lucy holiday event in a press release. The network announced the yearly holiday special will air this year on December 20.
I Love Lucy is returning to CBS once again for the holidays.
