"Lucy Goes to Scotland" was a departure from the norm, if nothing else. But was it an under-appreciated gem, or a miserable failure, or somewhere in between?

One star...one of the worst. It's like a bad bedtime story dream.

It's kind of silly but I love Fred and Ethel as the dragon.

I used to hate this episode. Once I heard that it was Desi's way to do a special like the Peter Pan, the airing of The Wizard of Oz, and other musical specials being done at the time I appreciated it more. I read that he wanted to film this one in color but the budget did not allow it. I don't know if that is true but had it been filmed in color originally it may have aged better. It still isn't my favorite episode but as I age I can appreciate it for what it's is more than I did before.

I've tried to like this episode but I just cannot. I can understand wanting to try something new and straying from the norm here and there, but this one just didn't work for me.

I never knew it was so disliked until I started on various message boards . I like it for what it is, gave it four stars. My has Mom always liked it . But I wouldn't say it's one of my favorite episodes.

Horrible episode! Other than most of the first season, this is one of the few I won't watch.

Actually, I like this one because not only does Desi Arnaz get to sing a non-Latin song but also it's interesting how all the elements in the preliminary hotel scene set the wheels in motion for how Lucy's concocts this crazy dream- and love to see how even 'crazy for Lucy's thought processes work!

I don't like it, but I don't like any of the "Hey gang! Let's put on a show" episodes.
