CBS is honoring the 75th anniversary of I Love Lucy with a one-hour Entertainment Tonight special and colorized classic episodes. I Love Lucy: 75 Years of Laughter airs December 17 at 8 p.m. ET, featuring archival footage and new interviews with Carol Burnett, Amy Poehler, Andy Garcia, and others. Following the special, CBS will air two colorized fan-favorite episodes — “The Christmas Show” from 1956 and “Never Do Business with Friends” from 1953. Both episodes have been colorized using “a palette inspired by the era in which they were originally filmed.” The special and re-runs will stream simultaneously on Paramount+ for premium members, with regular subscribers gaining access the following day. The iconic sitcom, starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, originally premiered in 1951. Story URL
