Here's Lucy

By Wikipedia

Here's Lucy was Lucille Ball's third network television sitcom. It ran on CBS from 1968 to 1974. A slightly different version ran from 1962-1967 called "The Lucy Show."

The program's premise changed from The Lucy Show. Ball's character now lived in Los Angeles, California and was named Lucy Carter. In this new incarnation, she had two children named Kim and Craig, played by her real life children Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz, Jr. She worked for an employment agency run by her brother-in-law Harry (played by Gale Gordon, in a role completely unrelated to his Mr. Mooney role from The Lucy Show, though the two characters did share the same temperament). Mary Jane Croft who had costarred on the last three seasons of "The Lucy Show", also became a regular on the new series, and Ball's longtime costar Vivian Vance also made numerous guest appearances through the series' run.

Perhaps the most famous episode was a one from 1970 in which Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor guest star, in a storyline involving their famous diamond, which becomes stuck on Lucy's finger. Ball and Burton reportedly did not get along, as he found Ball's rigid perfectionism grating and he subsequently wrote about her in extremely unflattering terms in his memoir.
