The first “I Love Lucy” show was filmed on a Saturday evening, September 8, 1951. It was titled “Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying to Murder Her,” and is considered by most to be one of the funniest from the whole shebang.
“I was scared to death when we did our first show. After all, I had done only two movies and wasn’t accustomed to working with one camera, much less with four of them. Lucy sensed that I was scared and went out of her way to set me at ease. She got me laughing so hard before my entrance that I didn’t have time to remember that I was so frightened.” – Vivian Vance
“All I remember about that night was trying to protect my stomach. Lucie had just been born by Caesarean section and I was wearing a huge bandage over my stomach. I was more concerned with that than anything else. When the laughs started coming, I was very relieved. I remember sayin, ‘Whew! It’s working.’” – Lucille Ball
