NEW YORK, May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine the joy of a road trip without leaving the comfort of your own home -- no overheated cars, no flat tires and no getting ripped off at the pump.

Join The Munsters for a frightful night of camping, the Ricardos and the Mertzes on their comedic cross-country journey to Hollywood, the Sanfords for some sun and surf in Hawaii and top off the day's adventures with The Griswolds at the famed Wally World Amusement Park.

         the movie after all.

         Ward made reservations for the family vacation at their usual

         tells him that she too has to go away with her family on vacation.

         accord her a monumental ovation.  Lucy takes matters into her own
         hands when Ethel refuses to disillusion them--and even goes so far
         as to put on a "celebrity act."

  9:30a  I Love Lucy #114 - LA At Last
         Arriving in Hollywood with stars in her eyes Lucy heads for a "The
         Brown Derby" frequented by celebrities where she encounters Eve
         Arden and William Holden. Her excitement at spotting Holden is
         surpassed only by her anxiety later when Ricky introduces her
         formally after she has presented Holden, inadvertently, with a
         custard pie in the face.

  10a    I Love Lucy #128 - Lucy Visits Grauman's
         With only a week left in Hollywood, Lucy weeps about her lack of
         souvenirs. Her collection already includes a tin can run over by
         Cary Grant's left rear tire, a napkin boasting Lana Turner's lip-
         prints and a few other goodies; but when Lucy discovers John
         Wayne's concrete block at Grauman's Chinese Theatre is loose she
         decides to take home a souvenir to end all souvenirs.

  10:30a I Love Lucy #131 - Ricky Sells The Car

         reservations put Lucy in a comprising position with Fred Mertz.
