The Lucie Arnaz Show


The Lucie Arnaz Show is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from April 2 until June 11, 1985. It was based on the British sitcom Agony.

Premise

Dr. Jane Lucas is a psychologist who answers questions from the public on her radio show and in a magazine. Jim Gordon is her boss.

Reception

Although it was billed as a comedy, Arnaz told an interviewer, "It's not a comedy, it's not a drama. It's a story." Critics agreed that the show was not a successful comedy. "The Lucie Arnaz Show lacks both appeal and humor," wrote The Cincinnati Enquirer's Tom Brinkmoeller, who also called it "uninspired". In 1990, Arnaz recalled the show's brief run as "a depressing experience."
