Something Super Airs On CBS Tonight

I LOVE LUCY SUPERSTAR SPECIAL, a new one-hour special featuring two colorized back-to-back classic episodes of the 1950s series, will be broadcast Sunday, May 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  The two episodes, "L.A. at Last!" and "Lucy and Superman" are newly colorized with a vintage look, a nod to the 1950s period in which they were filmed.  Included in the special is material from "L.A. at Last!" that has not been broadcast since the episode first aired on CBS 60 years ago. Best frame grab.   ©2015 CBS Broadcasting Inc.

Tonight, May 17 at 8PM, CBS is airing an I Love Lucy special featuring a colorized version of that classic episode “Lucy And Superman.” Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll run a Supergirl trailer while they’re at it, since they’ll have a Kryptonian on their network every week soon enough.
