Talk:Desilu

message: This article does what a lot of casual histories do when talking about Desilu: It confuses Desilu Productions and Desilu Studios. Desilu Productions had basically zero to do with The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, etc, etc. These were merely tenants of Desilu Studios many sound stages and backlots. What IS  missing is Desilu Productions' VERY important contributions to popular culture. It also makes an error when it states that Desi Arnaz did not sell his Desilu stock in his 1960 divorce with Lucy, which in fact, he did - this set several very important and historical events in motion:
1. With her acquisition of the majority holding of Desilu stock, Lucille Ball became the first female in Hollywood history to become head of a major Hollywood studio.
2.  It was LUCY who tried to persuade her friend, Carol Burnett, to do a Desilu produced sitcom.
3. Even though Desilu Studios was making decent money as a rental facilty, Lucy was unhappy with the production company being moribund....except for The Lucy Show.
4. This led to the hiring of executive Herbert Solow in 1964, to develop shows for Desilu to produce.
5. This directly led to the creation of the cultural icons, Star Trek and Mission:Impossible.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lsherwood59 (talk • contribs) 00:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure what you're saying (is English your second language?). How did Desilu "revolutionize" entertainment? Paramount Pictures bought Desilu in 1967, but Paramount had been around since at least the 1910s; Desilu did not create Paramount. Stars having their own production companies was nothing new, either. Western star G.M. "Broncho Billy" Anderson formed his own movie production company in 1907. Other silent stars like Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, and Harold Lloyd all had their own production companies. — Walloon 20:21, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Just a minor point for clarity: Ball served as president after Arnaz retired, so his retirement should precede mention of her presidency. Especially since the section begins by stating a date (the divorce) which implies a chronological structure.
*Sentence 1: 1960 - divorce
*Sentence 2: Ball served as president
*Sentence 3: 1962 Arnaz resigned as president 
Can generate confusion over who served as president prior to 1962 and particularly between 1960 and 1962.
I don't know the historical details so I defer to someone who does to make actual changes to the section.
