Correct Answer: Life with Lucy
(Source)Lucille Ball might be the queen of comedy, but you can only wear the crown for so long. After three hits on CBS, someone at ABC thought coaxing 75-year-old Ball out of retirement for more pratfalls was a genius move, but audiences didn't like watching a grandma hit the floor. "Life with Lucy" debuted at #23 in the Nielsen ratings and sank to #73 (out of 79) before the network pulled the plug mid-season. While Ball never tried making another show after that, at least her earlier work is still running in syndication.
