A Lackluster career in the movies had earned her the nickname “Queen of the Bees”. But when Lucille Ball turned to TV, she ruled supreme. A half hour of madcap schemes, and bilingual squabbling, I Love Lucy became TV’s first bone fide hit sitcom, even pulling better ratings than the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. First appearing in 1951, she and her real-life husband, Latino singer Ricky Recardo, along with neighbors Fred and Ethel Mertz, ruled the airways. I Love Lucy has entertained generations for over five decades thanks to endless reruns of her zany antics. Find a Lucy collectible or Lucy gift for the true Lucy fan in our I Love Lucy collectible collection.
