The "Cugats" soon to become the "Coopers" because of a lawsuit threatened by band leader Xavier Cugat... that he did not want people to think the comedy was about his life... so the producers changed the name in 1949. A very popular sitcom producing 124 half-hour episodes on CBS radio and would morph into a television program in 1950 that would replace Richard Denning with Desi Arnaz (Lucille Ball's real-life husband) and renamed the show "I Love Lucy!" And the rest, as they say, is history. This episode will be living in the playlist "My Favorite Husband" on this Soundcloud.com podcast.
