The Mothers-In-Law was the last series produced by Desi Arnaz (he also appeared in and directed some of the episodes). It was created by Bob Carroll and Madelyn Pugh Davis, the original writers of I Love Lucy. Set in the swinging late 1960s, The Mothers-In-Law centers on the misadventures of longtime neighbors in suburban Los Angeles who become related to each other when their children suddenly get married. Legendary actress Eve Arden (Our Miss Brooks, Grease) stars as Eve Hubbard, the sophisticated wife of straight-laced lawyer Herbert Hubbard (Herb Rudley). Veteran comedienne Kaye Ballard plays Kaye Buell, the outspoken wife of bombastic television writer Roger Buell (Roger C. Carmel in the first season and Richard Deacon in the second season). To the dismay of their hapless husbands, the strong-willed mothers are determined to meddle in the lives of newlyweds Jerry (Jerry Fogel) and Suzie Hubbard (Deborah Walley).
