Although it was filmed in 1951, the 16-mm pilot episode of I Love Lucy didn't air until much later. In what year did CBS run the episode nationwide?

The unaired pilot of I Love Lucy was considered lost until Pepito Perez's widow told CBS that she owned the only copy of it. It had originally been given to Perez by Lucy and Desi as a gift for his involvement in the show. The pilot finally aired on April 30, 1990.
