In ''I Love Lucy'', set primarily in a [[New York City]] apartment building and airing 180 episodes with high ratings from 1951 to 1957, Ball played a zany redheaded housewife, Lucy Ricardo, often an exasperating irritant to her husband, played by Arnaz, Sr., in the role of bandleader Ricky Ricardo. ''I Love Lucy'' has been seen for years in syndicated re-runs; CBS has colorized a select number of episodes for airing at the [[Christmas]] season. Lucy and Ricky continued with a series of hour-long episodes, ''The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour'', which aired between 1957 and 1960, when the couple divorced.
