That wasn't Desilu, that was Desi Arnaz striking out on his own. Pretty good show from what I recall of it.

I agree..I thought it was onw of the better sitcoms of that era. You were right about it not being strictly a Desilu production. The show was actually a Desi Arnaz Production Though I think it was produced using Desilu Facilities, which may account for the confusion

--- Quote ---Desilu also did the NBC Sunday Night Comedy "The Mothers-In-Law". (1967-69) Similar in tone to "I Love Lucy".. (with some of the same writers and producers) It starred Eve Arden and Kaye Ballard as meddling Mothers In Law to their Married Children. In fact, Desi Arnaz made a few guest appearances as an aging bullfighter. Kaye Ballard appeared on many game shows (Including a recently shown TTTT)
--- End quote ---
In fact, Ballard and MiL co-star Richard Deacon both appeared on that sole $10K Pyramid that was floating around before GSN unearthed those 3 weeks of LA eps.

"The Mothers-In-Law" was a Desi Arnaz Production for United Artists Television.

By 1967 the former Desilu lots were referred to as "Paramount." They rented to Arnaz and Sheldon Leonard continued to do his shows from there.
Desilu had more than one lot in Hollywood--I believe one's now the Ren Mar facility and I believe the other's the Raleigh facility where "Cram" is now shot, which is near the original Paramount lot on Melrose (and the LA bunch are free to correct me).
The original "Desilu Playhouse" was in the General Service Studios, which is now known as Hollywood Center and is home base for Stone-Stanley and many other game shows of recent years, among other things.
