Series Fun Facts
- Lucille Ball demanded complete creative control, no pilot requirement, and no audience testing. ABC agreed to these demands due to Ball's previous television successes.
- The exterior of the hardware store featured in the show was actually a vacant storefront located directly across the street from the studios.
- The show was inspired by the success of The Cosby Show and The Golden Girls the previous season. Producers felt that Ball, a past TV star like Cosby, could revive her career with a family sitcom.
