[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 241190, member: 5079"] Spellings' version here doesn't jive with other accounts I've read, in which Spelling owed ABC a sitcom, he pitched it to Lucy & Gary, and Gary persuaded an indifferent Lucy to proceed. The timeline doesn't matter really, but the idea that Lucy was a driving force behind the show -- in both pitching it to Spelling and demanding creative control -- is at odds with the usual accounts that Lucy was ambivalent, agreeing to any suggestions made by the writers and producers because she didn't want to make waves.
