I Love Lucy - TV Show

One of a growing number of retail purchase mugs, this mug advertises or celebrates the TV Show "I Love Lucy." I Love Lucy was an American television show starring Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, and William Frawley. The black-and-white comedy originally ran from October 15, 1951, to May 6, 1957, on CBS but can still be seen in syndication in many areas of the world.  

On the 1st side, you see (above) the main logo of the show, the words "I Love Lucy" in a heart shape.   Lower to the right, that smudge is really some printing.  It is some VERY small print which says "CBS Inc.  1998. All Rights Reserved.  I Love Lucy & Design are Registerd trademarks of CBS Inc. Imges of Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz are used with permission of Desilu, too LLC. Under License to Unforgettable Licensing." Below is the 2nd side, a cartoon drawing of an old type television with 50s style rabbit ears antennae.  
When hot liquid is added, the TV screen clearsto show two cartoon drawings of the main characters Lucy and Desi.  These two are from the animated title sequence from original  'I Love Lucy' released in 1951.
This mug is in terrific shape and the color change is quick and perfect!
