I just read her imdb.com file and it seems that she wasn't in too many episodes but then I looked at tv.com and she's in practically all of them. Does anyone know how many episodes there were and how many Viv were in?!

Thanks!!

Vivian was in all the episodes during the 1962-63 seasons and 1963-64 seasons. She was absent from about 7 or 8 episodes during the 1964-65 season. In all she would have appeared in about 76 or 77 of the 84 episodes produced from 1962 - 1965.

Of course, she left the series in 1965.

But she did continue to make occassional guest appearances starting in 1967.

my answer would have been "Not Enough!!" :)

Yes she didn't appear at all in the 65-66 season but the next year began making a few return visits (not enough I agree!!) She was also in the famous third last episode of the entire show when Joan Crawford guest starred.

Not enough is the correct answer :o

I agree :D

And,in the episodes from 1964-1965 she WASN'T in,her replacement was the late Ann Sothern as Lucy's friend,Rosie(she was supposed to be,but wasn't)a Countess,and Mr.Mooney referred to her as such,and it was funny when she called Mr.Mooney "Mr.Money"Remember that?.

Oops! I MEANT she was supposed to be a countess,but wasn't.

And after Ann Southern, Mary Jane Croft became Lucy's partner in crime.

Before Mary Jane, we have the two Joan Blondell episodes....Joan was supposed to have been the new co-hort, but after clashing with Lucy...she famously walked off the set and told Lucy "F__ you, Lucille Ball!"

Wow! Really? I never knew about that one!

I knew Lucy had problems with Talullah Bankhead on TLDCH, though.

Details aplenty in "The Lucy Book"--a must for any Lucy fan--a great resource for her TV work.

All her return visits should be included also in the number of episodes Viv appeared in. I'm curious how many times she appeared in the last 3 seasons, 1965-68.

(I think) Viv appears in 3 more episodes, after she leaves as a regular.

Viv Visits Lucy
Lucy & Viv Reminisce
Lucy & The Lost Star (w/Joan Crawford)

IMDB lists the total number of episodes that Vivian Vance appeared in of "The Lucy Show" is 80. That would include regular and guest appearances.
