Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz had a goal – to star in a TV show as husband and wife. But there were about a million obstacles in their way.

Technology will be the death of us, I swear it will. Last week we had a terrible echo on the audio from my dad. It didn't have the echo when he spoke, only in the recording.
