of the California, Europe tour, and Connecticut episodes?
Where they each a season long? Were their NY episodes between these 3 places?

Thanks!

We then see 4 episodes of the Ricardos at home before we see RICKY'S EUROPEAN BOOKING which originally aired on 12/12/1955. We have 16 episodes that are in Europe. The last European episode is the one we see where Lucy brings home the cheese on the plane. That aired on 5/14/1956.

January 28, 1957 is the beginning of the Connecticut episodes. Those begin the 6th and final season of I Love Lucy.

So there were no episodes in the fall of 56? Did they go right from the Europe vacation to Connecticut?

There were some episodes at home. An episode with Bob Hope and the other dealing with Little Ricky and the whole drum noise situation. Lucy meets Orsen Welles is another. There are two more episodes before we see the fab four making their way to Florida. The first episode shows the ladies sharing a ride with the lady Lucy believes is a hatchet murderess. We see two episodes of them being in Florida and then the episode that deals with them in Cuba. We are then shown four episodes of the Ricardos at home. It is then we are then seeing the episodes that begin with Lucy wanting to move to the country and eventually moving there. There are 13 episodes in total that deal with the Ricardos move to Connecticut and living there.
