Did anyone else love this episode? I saw it for the first time yesterday and now it is my all time favorite episode. I thought it was so hilarious when she kept throwing her book out the window lol :lol:

Sorry to be the Grinch here, but i don't like it at all, it's one of the early episodes where the characters are not well established yet. When she confronts Rick at the club, Ethel's fake yawn is too much! Even her hair was different from the Lucy we grew to love, it's by no means a BAD episode, it's just not one of my faves!

It was the first episode they ever filmed wasn't it? In which case it's understandable if they're not quite in character yet, cut them some slack! :) (I see where you're coming from of course. Later on there would never have been any suggestion of Fred coming upstairs to make sure that Ricky wasn't planning on murdering Lucy - they were supposed to be friends for goodness sakes!)

In the DVD notes it says that Ethel accidentally yawned as an instinctive reaction to Lucy yawning as well - so it probably wasn't fake. They do say that yawning is catching! (I think that's funny, but then I like it when things go wrong!)

I really like this episode, anyway. Yes it's illogical, and yes it's completely daft, but crucially it's also funny. And yes, Desi drinks the wrong drink, which for some reason seems to annoy lots of dedicated fans. To be honest I didn't even notice that until I saw it on the DVD!

It's pretty good, but not one of my favorites. The California episodes are my favorite. :) I'm glad they are starting soon!

I have a mixed feeling about this ep-sometimes when I watch it, I like it, and sometimes I don't like it. It's not in my top ten fav eps. :)

This is probably one of my least favorite episodes, just because it is so out there. I guess a lot of things that Lucy did were "out there", but the whole idea of Lucy coming to the conclusion that Ricky was trying to kill her after over a decade of marriage...it just didn't make any sense to me. It did have its funny moments, though, as they all do.

Oh, thank you very much. It was actually from the cover of a 1952 issue of "Quick" magazine. I loved it, so I just had to use it.

Well, it is one of the most beautiful pics i've ever seen of them together. Anybody got a toaster, i feel like roasting up some pop tarts~

Just 'cause I feel like throwing a spanner in the mutual love thing, but I think Desi's head looks a funny shape in that picture. :)

Looks fine to me, but then again you are a Desi expert! I was surprised to see him looking so wrinkled in the ep where he sings There's a Brand new Baby at our House, maybe because he seldom got close ups, i was surprised a man of 36 could look so old up close!

That's odd, because I didn't think he looked especially old in the episode of Ironside he guested in nearly 20 years later!

Yeah, i know, he looked great in that, like i said, i think the Lucy ep was a bad close up! People were always surprised by his looks anyway as they often saw him without the hair dye which made him look so much older, he washed it out of his hair after every ep was filmed!
