"I Love Lucy" Christmas Episode in Color for the first time on PrimeTime TV!


"I Love Lucy", once voted the best TV show of all time, 
aired on CBS from October 15, 1951 until May 6, 1957,
and now on December 20, 2013....

CBS is bringing "Lucy" back at 8 PM (est) with an hour Colorized Special...


featuring the infamously thought to be lost "Christmas Episode"
and the episode: "Lucy's Italian Movie",
most commonly known as the "Grape Stomping" episode.


"The Christmas Episode" finds Ricky and Lucy Ricardo and their friends and landlords, Fred and Ethel Mertz, decorating Lucy and Ricky's Christmas tree and reminiscing about how their lives have changed since the arrival of the Ricardo's son, Little Ricky. Flashbacks (in black-and-white to emphasize the time lapse) recall the night Lucy tells Ricky she is pregnant, the time Lucy shows up unexpectedly as part of a barbershop quartet, and the day Ricky and the Mertzes rehearse taking Lucy to the maternity ward.

The episodes have been colorized with a vintage 50's look - so it still will have that retro feel.

Also, the "I Love Lucy" Christmas Episode is available in an all new DVD release:
