50's TV question

[Doug Drown]

I don't know whether it's true, but I've been told that "I Love Lucy" has
 been on the air continuously, nonstop, in various parts of the world ever
 since its debut in 1951.  (Urban legend??)  It can be seen every weekday 
now on The Hallmark Channel (12 noon to 1 PM, ET).   -Doug
