Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired during the natural childbirth movement's peak, when Lamaze was considered radical feminist resistance against 'twilight sleep' drugging.
Desi Arnaz Jr. took this role specifically to distance from his sitcom lineage — his father Desi Arnaz pioneered the three-camera sitcom with I Love Lucy.
