I Love Lucy was a television program which aired on Earth during the 1950s.
While stranded on Earth in 1957, the Vulcan Mestral watched this show. He told his shipmates T'Mir and Stron that he wanted to retrieve a waveform discriminator from their ship which had crashed, as it would boost the TV signal so he could watch this program, which was airing that night. In reality, however, he went with Maggie to see a baseball game in Doylestown. (ENT: "Carbon Creek")

Justman, Ball was reportedly even on set for filming of some Star Trek: The Original Series episodes, such as "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and was once even seen helping to clean up the set after filming.
