Suzuki Beane was a book meant to be a satire on the Eloise series.

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz purchased the rights for a tv show.

Does anyone know about either the book or the show?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Desilu produced a pilot of Suzuki Beane with Katie Sweet in the lead. When the show wasn't picked up, Desilu edited parts of the pilot into a comedy anthology pilot starring Victor Borge. The edited version is on YouTube.

I think the pilot seems kind of great, but I don't think it would have had mainstream success in 1962. When the pilot didn't sell, costar Jimmy Garrett was cast as Lucy's son on The Lucy Show.
