I watched them in my youth. Along with Life of Riley...Amos and Andy...Lone Ranger...Sky King...Cisco Kid. I don't like the Lucy-Desi offerings in this biopic of those two. Not even close in this trailer. I'll have to wait to see if they warmed to the characters.

4. with my roku now

it is a reminder to me of the little black and white we had in the 50s. Entertainment wise I see such progress.

5. Nicole Kidman took on an iconic role and in the preview I never forget it is Kidman...

She is getting some very good reviews so perhaps she becomes more "Lucy" the longer you watch.

Lucy had a real characteristic walk too--especially when she wore those (ugly to me) backless "mules" style shoes of the 50s. What little I saw in the previews didn't seem as though Kidman had captured that.

Still, I have to say that Nicole Kidman was very good as Elizabeth Montgomery ("Samantha" ) in the Bewitched movie a few years ago so maybe she will carry it off.

Desi's casting doesn't seem bad, but Ethel and Fred? Not too impressed from what little I've seen.
