CBS to show rare 'Lucy' Christmas episode

CBS will air a one-hour special in December featuring two newly colorized classic episodes of the beloved 1950s series "I Love Lucy," the Los Angeles Times reports. The "I Love Lucy Christmas Special" will consist of the seldom seen "Christmas Episode" and the grape-stomping classic "Lucy's Italian Movie," airing Dec. 20. The holiday episode, which has the Ricardos and Mertzes reminiscing while decorating a Christmas tree, was first broadcast in December 1956 and went into hiding, failing to be included in the series' long history of repeats while in syndication. It was rediscovered in 1989, with select airings since then.
