I Love Lucy
Writers Bob Carroll Jr., Madelyn Pugh Davis and Jess Oppenheimer all agreed to continue with "I Love Lucy". They subsequently reworked numerous "My Favorite Husband" episodes into "I Love Lucy" episodes early in the TV show's run. For example, the March 18, 1949 radio episode titled "Giveaway Program" inspired the November 24, 1952 "I Love Lucy" episode "Redecorating". Many of the actors who appeared on "My Favorite Husband" on radio later appeared on "I Love Lucy", often in episodes where they reprised their original roles from a reworked "My Favorite Husband" script. During the first season of "I Love Lucy" Gale Gordon twice played the role of the boss, and the May 26, 1952 episode titled "Lucy's Schedule" was a rewrite of the April 22, 1949 "My Favorite Husband" episode "Time Schedule" (also called "Budgeting Time".)
