Frequently patting himself on the back, the classic program's producer and head writer herein tells the backstage tale. The tape is less an abridgment of the book he wrote with his brother Gregg than an audio "version," with audio snippets from the series and its radio predecessor, "My Favorite Husband." However dubious it may be as TV history, the audio gains considerable grace and charm from these excerpts, as well as from the fascinating anecdotes and the amiable, codgerly narration of Larry Dobkin. A very enjoyable listen and a must for "Lucy" fans. Y.R. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine

It's the sounds that bring the memories flooding back. The ubiquitous Latin rhythms of the "I Love Lucy" theme song. The staccato dialogue and fine sound design that mimic the feel of the early 1950s. And, especially, the marvelous performances of Oscar Nu�ez and Sarah Drew, who capture every nuance of Ricky and Lucy's voices. It's late 1949, and radio and film star Lucille Ball is looking for the right show with which to break into the newfangled world of television with her real-life husband, successful bandleader Desi Arnaz. There are some bumps in the road, but the pair end up creating a template for practically every television situation comedy to come. Written by the son of the show's creator, this play is full of bright nostalgia and insider insights. B.P. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
