When the show was repackaged for the Lifetime Network, Barbara Walters taped a new introduction and conclusion to the interview as well as new voice-over narration, referencing events from 1977 to Ball's death in 1989.
Earlier in the evening of the original 1977 broadcast, ABC aired new episodes of "Laverne and Shirley" (a show often compared to the antics of Lucy and Ethel) and "Three's Company" (a show Ball admired, and hosted a retrospective of in 1982.)
Lucy tells Walters that they have 85,000 feet of home movies. She screens one called "The Fat Little Cowboy" starring a two and a half year-old Desi Jr. and a four year-old Little Lucie.
Walters asks if it is true that Lucy doesn't 'think funny.' Lucy agrees saying she can do funny things other people write down in detail, but she doesn't think funny. She and Gary say they make each other laugh. Gary says she'll do 'Lucy-isms'. Lucy gives an example of a 'Lucy-ism': when making a chopped chicken liver platter for guests, the top came off the salt shaker creating a mound of salt atop the food. To try to fix it, she rinsed it in the sink.
