"Fans of I Love Lucy will enjoy this fascinating look at the making of the series by its producer/head writer. Jess Oppenheimer goes into detail about working on Lucille Ball's earlier radio show, My Favorite Husband, and explains how it evolved into an idea for the TV show. He talks about Ball's insistence on casting her husband, Desi Arnaz, despite the resistance of CBS, and the trials and tribulations of getting the program on the air. Although the listener doesn't get an in-depth revelation of Ball as a person because Oppenheimer knew her only in a professional capacity, there are plenty of amusing anecdotes about the actors and their antics at work. What is most impressive about this audio is Larry Dobkin's narration. Listening to his gruff but affectionate tone, chuckling reminiscently at certain memories, one would never know it wasn't Oppenheimer himself."-Billboard
