...troupers, William Frawley and Vivian Vance, to play the family next door and serve as foils and friends for Desi and Lucille. Academy Award-winning Karl (The Good Earth) Freund supervises the three cameras, and Director Marc Daniels (soon to be replaced by Bill Asher) gives Lucy its rattling pace. The writers-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.

As a single example, the native residents of Johannesburg have been ordered to leave the city and set up new all-African suburbs outside. They will not even be allowed to own the land they live on--thirty year leases are the limit...
