...Jess Oppenheimer, Bill Carroll and Madalyn Pugh-turn out scripts that do not impose too much on the audience's credulity and are reasonably free of cliches. The writers are held in an esteem not common in TV. Lucille bombards Jess Oppenheimer with photographs flatteringly inscribed to "the Bossman," and Desi has presented him with a statuette of a baseball player and a punning tribute, "To the man behind the ball...
