My favorite show to this day ❤️

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

It was the early 1950s, and "I Love Lucy" had America enraptured. The show was so popular that, as Lucille Ball, the star who played "Lucy" would say,

"In 1951-52, our show changed the Monday-night habits of America. Between nine and nine-thirty, taxis disappeared from the streets of New York. Marshall Fields department store in Chicago hung up a sign: 'We love Lucy too, so from now on we'll be open Thursday nights instead of Monday.' Telephone calls across the nation dropped sharply during that half hour, as well as the water flush rate, as whole families sat glued to their seats."

But in 1952, the show nearly came to a stop. Lucille was pregnant. She and her husband, Desi Arnaz, were expecting their second child.

Joyful it was for the couple but problematic for the show, considering the societal taboos around depicting pregnancy on television. Sensing an opportunity to be bold and help shift social norms, the executives and writers wrote Lucille's real-life pregnancy into the show, though they used the word “expecting” instead of “pregnant.”

As Lucille's pregnancy unfolded on screen, the show handled it with warmth and humor, delighting viewers and adding to its immense popularity.

On January 19, 1953, Lucille gave birth to Desi Arnaz Jr., and just 12 hours later, 44 million viewers – 72% of American households – tuned in to see Lucy welcome Little Ricky into the world. The episode garnered more viewers than President Dwight D. Eisenhower's inauguration the following day.

It’s been a long time since a view from a plane surprised me.

This one took my breath away.

Golden hour at the Round Tower✨

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

This 228 year old painting shows St Paul's Cathedral in London... on a canal in Venice.

It's a "capriccio" — an art genre where painters simply made up impossible architectural fantasies.

And they're some of the most interesting paintings you'll ever see...

The #Beatles released a song, “Now & Then.” John Lennon wrote & recorded it in 1977 as a solo piano demo. In 1994, Yoko Ono gave the tape to Paul, who produced the song with Giles Martin, with John’s piano & vocal, George’s guitar from 1995, and Ringo singing & drumming in 2022.
