Trivia
Lucy's move to NBC didn't actually produce any hits for the network, but it did produce one real pilot (not "The Music Mart") in 1981 that was directed by Lucille Ball, "Bungle Abbey," a quirky sitcom about a monastery inhabited by out-of-the-ordinary monks. The pilot starred Charlie Callas, Guy Marks, Gino Conforti, Graham Jarvis, Peter Palmer, and Gale Gordon. Gino Conforti later said that the series would have never worked, and that it was a challenge to write enough material for the one pilot episode, but it was still fun to do. Although promising, Lucy's controversial move to NBC only resulted in this one special, the "Bungle Abbey" pilot, and several guest appearances on Bob Hope specials.
