The one with William Holden is one of my favorites, Lucy catching her fake nose on fire always makes me laugh. Another favorite is when they hitch a ride to Florida to meet up with Ricky & Fred and they think the woman driving the car is an ax murderer.

My favorite is "Equal Rights." It's the one where Lucy and Ethel demand equal rights from Ricky and Fred and end up washing dirty dishes in a restaurant. I also love "Ricky's Old Girlfriend." which is about Lucy being jealous of a female dancer Ricky knew in Cuba. A very, young Jerry Mathers Plays as Lucy's son.

I have two favorites:

Home Movies - when Lucy accidentally records over Ricky's movie with her western act with Fred and Ethel plus her home movies of little Ricky.

The Diner - when the Ricardo's and the Mertzs' buy a diner calling it Big Hunk of America/Little Taste of Cuba.

I thought when The Ricardos were trying to break the lease. It had the scene with Fred and Ethel walking in to the Ricardos apartment with the chandlier around there neck.

The Connecticut ones were very good, especially the one with Barbara Eden. I like when Lucy mocks her by saying "My mother to me to pick youuu." Funny stuff.

That was funny! :D


And than the girls decided to spruce themselves up to get the guys attention off of Barbara Eden. Lucy wore that really tight dress and she couldn't even sit down. And Ethel had her hair fixed in a new style, and Fred said she looks like a slick French poodle or something like that! :lol:

I just saw the ep in Italy the other day. " It's a my birthday too " ! When it was Little Ricky's birthday and all the local children said it was their birthday, and it really turned out that it was Teresa's birthday , a little local girl! And when they all sang Happy Birthday to Little Ricky over the phone! Such a cute heartwarming ep!

I liked Job Switching but there is a great line in it.

Ricky: "What do you know about rice?"
Fred: "Well, it was thrown at me on one of the darkest days of my life."

LOL. I still laugh when I hear that line.

Another funny Fred Mertz quote ( insulting Ethel of course) !

The ep where Fred's friend Eddie who was a wholesale lingerie salesman comes to town. When Fred and Ricky find the girls at his hotel room.

Ricky says - Lucy!!!! You! Here! Dressed like that, you must be out of your mind!!!

And Fred says - Ethel!!! You! Here ! Dressed like that, HE must he out of HIS mind !!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

OH Nuts!

Oh God, how do you pick just one. I think my favorite is "Return Home From Europe" when Lucy and Ethel disguise that 25 Lb cheese as a baby. It really captures the essence of her hair brained schemes so well.

"Lucy Is Enciente" is also a real charmer.
