This radio show began in 1948, when Lucy was 37 years old. It was such a hit on radio that CBS wanted to make it a TV show, for which Lucy insisted that Desi Arnaz, her real-life husband, play her TV husband. CBS initially balked -- they didn't think viewers would accept an inter-racial married couple on TV -- but the two had a widely successful vaudeville tour that showed the public was more interested in comedy than "race" matters.
