I'll admit, a lot of the show episodes were about Lucy concocting some screwball scene that usually blew up in her face! But to be fair, it wasn't ALWAYS the case! Here's a couple examples:
*Vita-Meata-Veggie. Hey, the producers should have told her there was booze in it! And they should have also limited the number of retakes she had to do.
*There was an episode where Ricky began to obsess that he was growing bald. Lucy was merely being a good wife and try to convince him to stop thinking that way!
