Here's Lucy
Lucy Carter, a widow with two teenage kids (Kim and Craig), moves to Los Angeles and takes a job as secretary to her supercilious brother-in-law Harrison Carter, owner of an employment agency. Lucy's overzealous manner often caused her to stumble into embarrassing slapstick situations, much to the chagrin of her best pal Mary Jane.
Lucy lands Craig and Kim a job performing at a high-class birthday party, but when Kim is sidelined with laryngitis, can songbird Lucy step into the breach?
An inexpensive vacation becomes quite costly for the Carters when it's spent at cheapskate Jack Benny's in-home hotel.
The simple assignment of making a bank deposit and serving a summons is not so simple when it's assigned to Lucy.
Lucy turns personal trainer and life coach to temperamental movie star Shelley Summers, who must overcome her compulsive eating and lose 15 pounds in two weeks or lose a lucrative movie deal.
Stumbling upon research notes for Kim and Don's school project on teenage marriage sets Lucy leaping before she looks and landing her and Harry in hot water at City Hall.
In this spoof of Mission: Impossible, Lucy inadvertently intercepts the tape and hears the secret message, leading to the Carters volunteering to impersonate Indian royalty at an embassy ball to help retrieve hidden microfilm.
Eva Von Graunitz, author of the scandalous, banned-in-Boston best seller "Valley of the Puppets", needs privacy while she writes the script for the film adaptation, so she goes to the Unique Employment Agency. Harry sends her to Lucy's house and trusts her to make sure no one disturbs Miss Von Graunitz at work.
It's Lucille Carter's birthday, and her teenage children Kim and Craig strive to make it special. They decide to treat her to a meal at a fancy Chinese restaurant.
While seeing Wayne Newton in concert, Lucy persuades him to give him an audition as a drummer for his back-up band.
Kim gets her first job as a sales assistant with special payments for every piece of clothing she sells. Lucy figures 'the more I buy, the more I save!'. Special Notes on Lucie:
A con man pretending to be Van Johnson scams Lucy out of $23.50. After that, a Texas oil millionaire comes to the Unique Employment Agency and asks for a celebrity to sing to his prized cow, Ethel, on her birthday. Lucy suggests Van Johnson, but when she goes to meet the real one and asks for her money back, she is thrown out.
Lucy decides that Uncle Harry should try to find a wife, so she visits a computer dating service to procure him a date.
Kim and Craig collect rocks for Kim's geology class, and Uncle Harry is led to believe that one of them contains gold.
Lucy makes a mess of things attempting to fix a light switch in Harry's house.
Lucy goes undercover as an old lady to catch the crook of a robbery she may have caused.
Lucy goes on a strike with the other secretaries to get Harry to give her a raise. When she overhears him later on, Lucy thinks Harry is trying to murder her.
Angeles High School needs money for a gymnasium, and the assembly that the students are staging to raise money to build one could use a star. Lucy suggests getting Carol Burnett to appear. They go to a taping of her show, and during the question and answer session, Lucy persuades Carol to do the benefit.
The Carters are waiting at the airport for a man who is considering opening a San Francisco branch of the agency. Meanwhile, Lucy and Harry run into a man who gives them a secret formula and then kills himself. The two of them must run from enemy spies to find the police.
Kim and Craig set Lucy up with a Handsome Latin, who seems like the perfect man. Little do they know that he is a jewel thief. When he takes Lucy to a banquet the fun begins.
Craig wants $100 to buy a surf board. Lucy says no, so he asks Uncle Harry to get him a job. His new job finds him working at the same grocery store where Lucy is trying to teach Kim how to be a good shopper.
Lucy goes undercover as a secretary to a man who is thought to be a spy.
Lucy, Harry, and the kids go on a safari to catch a Garboona, a cross between a gorilla and a baboon, that has escaped from the zoo and is very dangerous.
Tenessee Ernie returns, this time looking for help on his farm. Lucy comes up with an idea to make his farm a place where city folk can get away from the lights and sounds.
Craig celebrates his 16th birthday by getting his drivers license. Lucy takes him to the DMV to take the drivers test and interferes every step of the way, from commenting on his license picture, to being a backseat driver when he takes his road test!
