I, per se, don't really remember any episodes, but I know my mother watched every one so the theme song is practically inserted in my DNA!!

Ooh, 16...thought I’d get an easy 20. x-p
14/20 Thought I would have done better.
Number 12 is wrong. Phillip Morris was their first sponsor. An executive from that company wanted the show produced live in New York. This led to Desi devising a way to film the series in California instead of doing it live.
True! Lucy and Desi didn't want to leave California and also wanted to take care of baby Lucie! BTW, anyone see Lucie as the candy foreperson on Will & Grace?
