Editing I Love Lucy (section)

===Lucille Ball's subsequent network shows===
In 1962, Ball began a six-year run with ''The Lucy Show'', followed immediately in 1968 by six more years on a third sitcom, ''[[Here's Lucy]]'', ending her regular appearances on CBS in 1974. Both ''The Lucy Show'' and ''Here's Lucy'' included Vance as recurring characters named Viv (Vivian Bagley Bunson on ''The Lucy Show'' and Vivian Jones on ''Here's Lucy''), so named because she was tired of being recognized on the street and addressed as "Ethel". Vance was a regular during the first three seasons of ''The Lucy Show'' and continued to make guest appearances through the years on ''The Lucy Show'' and on ''Here's Lucy''. In 1977, Vance and Ball were reunited one last time in the CBS special ''Lucy Calls the President'',<ref>{{IMDb title|id=0272711|title=Lucy Calls the President}}</ref> which co-starred [[Gale Gordon]], whom Ball had known for very many years and who had appeared as a regular on her television shows since 1963, becoming even more prominent once Vance left ''The Lucy Show'' in 1965.

In 1986, Ball tried another sitcom, ''[[Life with Lucy]]''. The series debuted on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] to solid ratings, landing in Nielsen's Top 25 for the week. Its ratings quickly declined, however, and resulted in a cancellation after eight episodes.
