episode #4- The Diet.

The Ricardo's Dedicate a Statue. :)

Lucy and Harpo Marx

I think it w*s "Lucy R*ises Chickens." *lthough, I c*n't remember! :lol:

Last nights episode.. The Diet!!! :) That is one of my very favorites.

Unfortunately, it was Mertz and Kertz, the second runner up to the Drafted worst ep ever.

Lucy Raises Chickens - I didn't see the entire episode though.

The Ricardos dedicate a statue - not one of my favorites.

I dont like that episode either.. i wish they did a more sentimental last episode ya know? But oh well!!!

The Bob Hope one. And boy do I wish the next DVDs would hurry up and come, 'cause I'm getting annoyed with only having the same ones to watch all the time!

:wave:

Even the writers admitted they did not like the one with the statue, saying they were all tired by then. And i agree with you Mickey, the releasing is taking FOREVER!

That episode is ok for just a regualr episode, but for the last one? It should have been more sentimental like you said.

"Home From Europe". One of my Top 3 favorites.

I didnt like tonights episode either.. The Audition. I dont know why I dont like this episode!!! Maybe I watched it too much when i was younger, I am not sure!! :bonk:

I never really liked The Audition either. I can't explain it, I guess it's the whole clown act that turns me off to it.

Last night's was Ethel's Birthday and those pants, a riot. I NEVER said she was a hippopotamus, i just said she was alittle hippie, but come to think of it, she does have the biggest potamus i've eve seen. AND MAY YOU LIVE ANOTHER 75 YEARS. Those writers were the best.

The Seance. WELL DONE, MEDIUM RAYA!

SPLAIN , that was one of my favorites. It has funny parts and then at the end where lucy and ethel go to the theater and see the play and start to cry. I wonder if Ethel ever got her toaster.

The last episode I saw was Medium mertzola. Ethel to Tillie/ come in Tillie.

episode #157- "Little Ricky Learns to Play the Drums"

Mertz & Kurtz :D

Visitor From Italy. :D

Madame X!

I watched Desert Island! I love the plot!

The Camping Trip

Hey LadyJess I just saw your boys at Ford Field! (along with the cutest coach in the NFL)

Sorry for going off topic:rolleyes:

"Desert Island" :D And before that I watched "The Marriage License", one of my favorites. ;)

Last night had The Vancing with Dan Johnson on again, two of her best routines, the pretending to talk to him while he's sleeping on the patio, and then the actual dance number with him where she looked magnificent and proved how talented she was.

I watched Lucy and the Loving Cup.. havent seen that episode in awhile!

The Girls Want To Go To A Nightclub. The series isn't in full swing yet, but it's still a good episode. I love Desi trying to avoid Lucy's advances. :)

Well, you W O U L D !:lol:

I know, you're talking to a guy who used to reprint everything off the internet, until i realized i haven't got room for thousands of sheets, and never look at them.

So, from now on, rare ones only!

That note's for ME, you can show anything you want, there has to be someone out there who will be thrilled that you're showing them a side of Lucy they've never seen! Like that great shot in the pool, or those old pics of Lucy when she was a young starlet, or her house in the Hills of Beverly, we'll take 'em all!

Joey's on the cover of TV guide next week too. (in Michigan at least!):)

I know! I think it's only this week though, since there's a "Fantasy Island" (ugh) marathon. "I Love Lucy" should be back in its regular night slot on Friday. Thank God. :crazy:

Yeah, here too, they move her to 11PM as of Sept 1st and replace her at nine with McGiver, yeah, McGive this!:lol:

oh thakn goodness!! i thought it was for good... phew they gave me a heart attack last night.

Oh, me too! And I'm mad because the episode that was on this morning was one I really wanted to watch, because I love it, but I was out. If it was on at regular time last night, I could have caught it then, lol. :rant: And also they're gonna put ILL on at 4:00am sometime soon. :rolleyes: Luckily it'll still be on at 11pm and in the morning though.

Quit complaining guys! You've got VCRs, right? In the UK ILL hasn't been screened in more than ten years, so consider yourselves lucky.

And stop dissing MacGyver, Splain. :) He's cool. And he got a name check in an episode of Mad About You that I was watching yesterday. Would you like the show better if he'd got the same from Lucy?!

:wave:

Won't matter when all the DVDs are out though, will it. You can watch any episode you want when you want. Although strangely that's not as satisfying as finding an episode on TV, and watching it with several million other people! :)

exactly!!! :D

McGive this, was a joke Mick! Did you know that Mad About you also had some Lucy references Mick? One time Reiser is sleeping and his wife hears him saying Oh, Mr Mooney! Yeah, i find it hard to understand why we watch the chopped up versions of the shows on TV when we have the DVD's, then again, all we have so far are the weak ones from season one. When we have the whole six seasons, we can tell them all where to go!

Well let's be honest, almost every sitcom since the fifties has had a Lucy reference somewhere! How many times has somebody done the "Lucy, I'm home!" or "You've got some splaining to do" lines? :)

I haven't heard any Lucy references in Mad About You, but I've only seen the first two seasons so far. It was never screened in the UK, so I'm just watching it as they come out on DVD. I can't help thinking, though, going by the guest stars, that she'd have done it as well if she'd lived long enough.

I love how Carol Brunett is in it.. shes amazing too!!

Yes but that was much later Ash, he hasn't gotten that far yet, Carol beautifully played her mom later on in the series, i LOVE that show and also got the first two seasons on DVD. In one of the later ones, or middle ones, he produces a show on old time TV and mentions Little Ricky.

Oh so it's Carol Burnett who played the mother! I've heard great things about the character, certainly. I know Carol Burnett (does spelling her name wrongly annoy you by any chance, Splain?!) used to have her own show which was very successful - a few episodes made it over here in peculiar slots in the schedules, and she's very funny. She was also in Annie, as Miss Hannigan, yes?

"The Loving Cup" today.

Of course i know it's Starsky and Hutch, i also know it's STARK NAKED, was making fun of his expression.

Lucy and Superman (well, I really just listened to it:D )

Last night the genius programmers at TV Land Canada left Hollywood abruptly and went all the way back to Fred and Ricky are fight fans! SHEESH! New shows as of September 1st, thank God!

The Marriage Licence.

:lol:

Love that one.

Well, the idiots are at it again, instead of continuing the series to the end, they went back to the beginning again with Lucy thinks Ricky is trying to murder her, what a great way to get people hooked on the show!

Some times I wonder if they do the shows so way out of order so you can't tape them in order. That way you'll keep watching. I don't know. It is annoying though.

Lucy and Superman

Yes, i know they screw them all up like that BECAUSE of the people who tape them, but it's a lousy way to get new fans for the show!

You are correct Splain. It is a pain.
TV lands got some splainin' to do!
;)

Surely it doesn't matter to new fans if they keep going back and showing the early ones again - because if they're new fans they'll never have seen them! I take your point though. Here in the UK the BBC bought the rights to The Simpsons, everything up to the most recent series. All they ever show, though, are the same few episodes from the middle era. I hardly ever watch the programme, and I've seen some episodes two or three times! The fans are furious.

So it's not just a TV Land thing!

Lucy Gets Chummy With the Neighbors, episode #170

Well, i stopped watching as they moved the show to eleven instead of 9PM as of this past Monday, but at least one channel was showing Mame at six a m this morning so i might have ended yesterday badly but today got off to a great start!

They moved her from 9pm to 11pm about a year ago here too, and I hate it! I can never watch it on school nights...I'm too tired! :mad:

Anyway, I last watched "Lucy Gets Chummy with the Neighbors"

I saw "Lucy Raises Chickens" last night...;)

Well where I'm at they changed Lucy to 10:00 p.m.
But, you can view the same episode the next day at 10:00 a.m.

That's another thing that kills me about those geniuses, they show the same shows over and over and then they have a marathon and again show the exact same episodes! That the show has SURVIVED airing on TV Land is amazing!

The one at 11 at nite used to be the same as the one in the morning so I was taping them at nite to get them in order and then for some reason I think they stopped doing that and now I've missed about 3 episodes because the one in the morning is different!!:mad:

That's another thing that annoys me. I just wish they could give the show a better timeslot in the first place. Even 10:00pm would be better than 11pm, but having ILL on at 9pm was the ideal time, to me. I could watch it every night and not be a zombie in school the next day. :rolleyes:

:) 11pm is the British TV schedulers' friend. It must be. They buy all these superior American TV shows, and stick them on at 11pm and later. Infuriates the hell out of everybody, but they keep on doing it. C4 did it with The West Wing, which was so popular, and so critically acclaimed - and so popular with British politicians! - that questions were raised in seriously high places about the scheduling - so C4 gave it a prime time slot. Hurray, shouted everybody... until three weeks later when they shifted it to midnight. Sigh.

BBC2 bought Seinfeld, put it on at midnight, said 'Odd, nobody's watching', and so stuck it on even later. ITV did the same with Highlander and Nash Bridges. Daft. :crazy:

I do the same thing! On weekends or during summer I'll stay up to watch an episode even though I've only seen it HOW many times? :lol:

I know, i wish someone could explain that to me, we have these flawless copies on DVD with no commercials and we watch those chopped up versions shown at odd hours on TV!

I know what you mean. Having I Love Lucy at 9:00 in the evening was the perfect time for that show. I remember way back when it was on at 9:00pm like for four straight years (1994-1997) on Nick at Nite. I Love Lucy was definitely in it's 2nd prime in the mid 90's.

I don't know if you are aware of it or not but I Love Lucy now airs at 4:00 in the morning. Ever since the September schedule went into effect I Love Lucy has aired three times daily (instead of two). With that said, the episode that airs at 11:00 in the evening airs again at 4:00am thus leaving a second episode to air at 11:00am in the morning.

Here's an example:
Monday
4:00 AM Episode #1
11:00 AM Episode #2
11:00 PM Episode #3

Tuesday
4:00 AM Episode #3 (repeat)
11:00 AM Episode #4
11:00 PM Episode #5

Wednesday
4:00 AM Episode #5 (repeat)
11:00 AM Episode #6
11:00 PM Episode #7

Thursday
4:00 AM Episode #7 (repeat)
11:00 AM Episode #8
11:00 PM Episode #9

Friday
4:00 AM Episode #9 (repeat)
11:00 AM Episode #10
11:00 PM Episode #11

Get it how the scheduling the works now? It is really quite simple if you look how TV Land sets it up. I hope this information has helped some.

Wow, thanks. No I was not aware of that. That explains how I missed those episodes! Too bad they didn't bother to tell us during a commercial that they were doing that. At least I'll have them all taped in record time now.:lol:

I hope you know how to record with the clock otherwise you'll be up at 4 so many times you'll think you're a new mother!

Originally posted by SPLAIN

You're so smart, they make it so complicated when you have too many things attached to your set, so much so that if i want to tape something when i'm not there, i put in a blank tape and push record, even if it's only on hours from when i start, if i leave the house i mean!

I do that sometimes too if I'm in a hurry. I hate having to find it on the tape when I get home though. I think setting the timer is easier than linking 2 vcr's together to tape though and you can do that, so I think you're smarter than you let on!;)

Well, i did need a refresher course when i got on these sites and started making copies of my old stuff for people! It's very simple really. You play the one casette in VCR 1, and record in VCR 2. The cable or satellite goes IN and comes OUT to the converter or terminal, IN the Converter or terminal, OUT to the second VCR, IN to the VCR, OUT to the TV, IN to the TV. As long as you follow those steps you can't go wrong, the VCR that PLAYS has to have the connections in it, the one that records has only the IN, and out to the TV. Last night i copied a six hour tape and had the second TV off so i thought i might have goofed, but it taped the whole thing, you certainly don't need a second TV in any way.

That's more steps than it takes to set the timer!!:eek:

Well to tape with just a tv and a vcr or two is easy, the complicated part is when you add converters and satellite terminals and DVD's, and big screen TV's that HAVE built in converters, and hindreds of channels and cable, nothing is easy anymore, is it?

GOOD ONE Laura! They thought he was gay because he lived with Randolph Scott for years, they shared a house in their early days and he was married five times, some were older than him and had lots of moolah, the Woolworth heiress to name just one!

Ricky Thinks He's Getting Bald. This is my favourite so far from DVD vol 9, though I still have one more to go. The hair treatment at the end is so funny! It was also amusing to see how the cooking oil and egg runs in black streaks down Ricky's face! Bye bye hair dye. :)

The last one I saw was episode #178, when Lucy and Fred and Ethel are trying to play for Little Ricky and his band. TV Land cut out the last episode, can you believe that? Right after #178, they skipped right to episode number one!!!!!! Thats just outrageous. By the way, I was watching some movie with Cary Grant about him being a framed thief, or something like that, and his pants were ridiculously high, I mean, basically his belt was touching his lower chest. It was a funny sight.:lol:

Lucyfan posted awhile back that they started airing I Love Lucy at 4 in the morning and that's when it was probably on. They quit repeating the same episodes at 11pm and 11am too.

The last one I saw was about 5 minutes of The Young Fans. I don't even like that episode so I went to bed. Did anyone notice on that episode that the left side of Lucy's face looked kind of funny? Or maybe I was just seeing things...:rolleyes:

Maybe it was something wrong with YOUR left eye? LOL!

Awww That is so grimy. They could've at least mentioned it between an episode or something like that. Hey Lodee, where on Lucyfan did they say that? I check it every week and I didn't see anything like that.

Mkaleek, I meant Lucyfan the person. They posted it on a thread on this website. I agree with you though, TVLand could have let us know. I was trying to tape them in order and missed the last one too.

Etehl's Hometown! What a laugh fest!!

I love that episode!! "Here comes our shrinking violet now!". So funny!! :D

The last episode I watched was "Ricky Loses His Voice." :happyface

"Little Ricky Gets a Dog"

And Mkaleek, if the Cary Grant movie you're talking about is To Catch a Thief, I LOVE that movie!! :D

I was cracking up during the first half. Lucy was calling Ethel on the phone and Ethel was standing right there. Lucy said something like *Oh, hi, Ethel, ...gotta go...Ethel just came in..." and then Lucy does one of her famous shocked out of her mind yells...... Ethel was reading little parts of a book to get husbands to pay more attention to their wives. One of the ways was for the wife to dress up to the hilt while at the breakfast table. Ricky wouldn't pay any attention to her and then she set his newspaper on fire.

Originally posted by Mkaleek

Actually, TV Land skipped to episode #2 (technically episode #3). The reason why I think they skipped the first and last episodes of the series is because they have already been played within the previous nine months. I recall episodes #1 & #179 playing on their "Last Things Last"/ "First Things First" 2-day marathon (December 31st, 2002 & January 1st, 2003).

If you want to get technical, TV Land just aired the FIRST episode ("Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying To Murder Her") in the current rotation about three weeks ago under episode number #4. I know, TV Land's listing of the ILL episodes is so screwed up. [TV Land airs the episode according by airdate order.]

I personally prefer the order Nick at Nite aired them in.

Ricky Asks For A Raise.

And now I've run out of episodes. I need season two now please, DVD releasing people! :)

Lucy Goes to Scotland :)

the one where Lucy wants to be in Ricky's show but he wont let her so she plays like she loses her memory, but Ricky finds out and has a fake doctor come in and diagnose her with a made up disease

Ricky Thinks He's Getting Bald :cool:

I just watched The Freezer.:cool:

I'm watching "Ethel's Hometown" right now. :)

Don't forget guys, this Tuesday, VOLUME 9!!!:D

AND THE BOXED SET OF ALL NINE FROM SEASON ONE, mine are reserved already. I'm having a contest at Lucy talk this week to give away the loose nine!

Don't forget guys, this Tuesday, VOLUME 9!!!

You know there are some advantages to life over here. We may not get the show on TV, but I got vol9 a week ago!

So, you married?:lol: Braggart! Mine has been there in the store for two weeks but the girl said she could get fired if she let me have it before tomorrow, i did try to bribe her though!:lol:

Mickey, is volume 9 the one with the Phillip Morris commercial? (not like I can afford it anyway:( )

Still no tape Laura? Tell me what was on it so i can redo it and give me your address again, just in case.

No, no tape, but you don't have to redo it. I know you don't like doing that.

The Marriage License!

Lucy Gets Homesick in Italy :dizzy:

is volume 9 the one with the Phillip Morris commercial?

Yes. It's under Special Footage, and apparently went out as a tag to the last episode of S1. It shows Lucy and Ricky (or possibly Lucy and Desi) sayig what'll be on whilst they're away, and that we should all go smoke some Philip Morris in the meantime! Not seen since June 9th 1952. Now see, if ILL was a British show, that would have been deleted years ago. Nice to see such things still remaining in the vaults, but I wish they'd had a different sponsor!

No Splain, not married to the store owner! It often happens when R1 disks are sold by British outlets. In order to get the disks to the stores over here in time for the release date, they get shipped early, and mail order stores don't bother having them hanging around until the day they're supposed to release them - so very often they just mail them out straight away! :)

They left a message on my phone saying i could go pick mine up, but i think i'll wait till Saturday as it's downtown, can't wait to finally have the whole thing complete in a boxed set, FINALLY!

But it's a horrible box!

In what way?

Pink.

And covered in pictures of Lucy. :lol:

I last watched "Fred and Ethel Fight" :)

And I'm so excited about Vol. 9! I'm ordering it from B&N tonight! :D

Pink.

And covered in pictures of Lucy.

LOL! Yeah, I do wish they would show a picture of a different cast member on each one, that would be cool! *imagines one with a Ricky cover*
IN MY DREAMS! LOL

I thought they said that there were 40 episodes in the first season. The DVD's only amount up to 35. Whats the deal with that?

There aren't 40 episodes in the first season. Nine DVDs, with an average of 4 episodes each (except for the first one I think, which had three).

Those of you who have waited to get the box set will be having loads of fun with the extras. I'm just hoping that S2 will look as good! (And will be available as individual volumes, like S1).

Yes season one had 35 episodes, and what is with them and pink? That's why i don't have a Lucy license plate on the car, they were either PINK or had the VITAGIRL logo on them, what, they don't think Lucy has male fans?

I'm gonna put Vol 9 on my Christmas list:) Woo Hoo, I'll have a total of 3!!!!!

LOL!! You poor boys!!! I hope Season 2 comes out in a box set soon. What are the extras on the season 1 boxed set? I should have waited to get this, but I didnt... Like I have said before patience is not one of my virtues :p.

Hey Mick, are there extra features in the box set that aren't on the seperate DVD's? Because if there are, that would be such a disgrace.:(

Haven't bothered looking to be honest. They'd have to be pretty good for me to bother buying the disks again.

How many seasons were there? Enough for all four members of the team to get their own box, so to speak?

Huh, you're serious? SIX SEASONS, one for each cast member, one for the four together, and one for all the supporting players even, LOL!

Sorry Splain. I don't know these things!

I'm sorry too, i thought you were one of the E X P E R T S ! Here's an easy way for you to remember, 6 seasons each for three of her series, the other two only had 13 episodes each.

:) Yeah, but only one of her series counts! :p

Also, some morons will insist on having the BOX, especially yours truly!:D

If you knew they were going to come out with the Box set at the end, would you have STILL bought the single DVD's? That's the real moron test, so you still have a chance.

Yes, because it was such a thrill to F I N A L L Y get them on DVD, and there are no sure things in this world, i would have worried that the boxed set eventually would not have happened and the singles would have been sold out, when it comes to Lucy, it's like she told that helicopter guy, MONEY IS NO OBJECT! and wait a minute, what do you mean Mickey, her two later series were just as good as I Love Lucy, at least you could understand what was said, unlike when that Cuban guy was on in the first one, LOL!:lol: :lol: :lol:

Dang you sure do think of every possible thing there, don't you? :lol:

Whoa whoa whoa, let's not go that far. Her two series were no where near as good as "I Love Lucy". Without Desi, Desilu itself plummeted straight into oblivion. I was reading "Desilu: The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Story", and everyone who was there at the time agreed that when Desi left, everything started to go downhill. When he stopped producing "The Lucy Show", the scripts weren't as good. Desi was "ONE" of the main driving forces behind Lucy's career, she even said it herself. Actual facts.

Careful Mkaleek. I don't know about you, but I don't want to start the Desi fighting again. Splain's just joking, or at the very least just trying to wind us up! :)

I really don't want to start anything, I hate to argue. Now a peaceful debate, that's another thing. Not even a debate, just different views. I'm sure Splain completely understands; I understand where he's coming from. No worries.:p

Actually, Desilu Studios started to go downhill when Desi's drinking got in the way of him running it properly. Lucy's the one that saved it. And as far as her two later shows not being as good, I don't know if you know this, but "The Lucy Show" was never out of the top 10 in ratings, and "Here's Lucy" did pretty well too. It's not just Desi that made "I Love Lucy" what it is today, there were multiple people that should be credited for the sucess of it (Jess Oppenheimer, Karl Freund, Madelyn & the three Bob's, Dan Cahn, Viv, Bill........). And the scripts weren't as good when, Madelyn Pugh and Bob Caroll Jr. left, not Desi. I have nothing against Desi, and I totally agree that he did build up Desilu, and he helped "I Love Lucy" be as good as it is today, but you can't say that everything went downhill once he left, because that's not entirely true.

Very well said Amber;)

Yes, very well said Amber, the studio died when the boss devoted himself to the bottle instead of running things, and Lucy grudgingly took over to save it so she could later sell it and get her money back. She bought his HALF for 2 and a half million, but five years later sold the whole package for 17 million, that's SAVING IT! As for her shows, as long as they featured the Queen of comedy, they succeeded, she was in the top ten for 11 of the next twelve years, the last year of Here's lucy being the only one where she left the top. Desi helped her in the beginning, no argument there, but as Desi said himself, she needed help from nobody to stay on top, she was the most gifted comic actress then and still has that title now. While i agree with Mickey that we joke about things and love to get the other one started, we all know his contributions and also accept the fact that even though people keep repeating that the later shows can't compare to the original, actually, when you view all of them, which people can't do now as they are not so readily available, you find out that as Desi said at the Kennedy Center induction of Lucy, in words he wrote before he died, Lucy WAS all 500 shows, people tuned in to see the comic genius of Lucy, the Chaplin of TV as many critics have pointed out, but Lucy could not have done those shows without reactions from her supporting players and she was smart enough to surround herself with the best ones around!

Well, it's all of you guys opinions against everyone who helped build Desilu's facts. Everyone who was there at the time actually said that the studio basically died after Desi left. The were quoted for goodness sakes! No one is taking away from Lucy or from Desi, but lets just respect the facts. "The Lucy Show", yes it never left the top ten, but I can name a dozen other shows that stayed there also, and "Here's Lucy" is actually the same story, whereas "I Love Lucy" basically never left the top 3 or 2! The FACT is, quoted from people who were actually there, the scripts just weren't as good as they were when Desi had a hand in it. They were a team, and yes Lucy is the greatest comedienne to ever live, trust me I agree, but Desi was her rock, her straight-man. Without him, she just wasn't as good, Desilu just wasn't as innovative. Yeah, "Here's Lucy" and "The Lucy Show" was big because it was funny and of course because of Lucy, but to say you can compare the magnitude of her career with Desi as opposed to without him is just plain nonsense. Comparing her career in the fifty's as opposed to the sixty's? Come on guys, let's get real here. We cannot make the mistake of mixing facts with opinions, so let's just state hard facts...please.

Lucy was just as good without Desi because she needed nobody to be the best there is. I don't know where you're getting your facts, but the studio died BEFORE he left, the other heads of the studio asked her to take over to save it and he was bringing it all down like he did with everything his whole life. I'll quote Desi here, whatever he built up, he had to tear down, it was in his nature, he said this himself to her, and she repeated it, i'm not arguing here, let's just have a healthy debate.

If Lucy was just as good with Desi as she was without him, then her following two shows would have been just as popular as "I Love Lucy". I'm getting my facts from the book "Desilu", and almost everyone in there quoted one way or another that Lucy was is the greatest comediennne, but she just wasn't as good as she was with Desi., and that goes for the company also. Hey, I mean, I'm not playing favorites, everyone loves Lucy, I'm included, but she just didn't do it all by herself. She couldn't. No one could, and I really am going by cold-hard facts.

You know a lot of people criticize that book, Desilu, but i think it's one of the best, but i've also read every other Lucy book and i stand by what i said. Was Archie Bunker's place as good as All in the Family, no, it's impossible to keep something great forever, even I Love Lucy's last shows were stinkers, but back then they did almost 35 a year, so after 180 they were all out of predicaments for her to get into, so in the other two shows, they sometimes repeated the same stories. I once read that in all dramas, there were only like eight basic plots, that they retool all the time, well comedy is the same, there are only so many situations she can get herself into, that will produce a riot. So when she covered Uncle Harry in goo for the tenth time it wasn't as funny, but she never stopped beiung funny and became an icon because people LOVED her regardless of how funny the shows were,they wanted to see Lucy and they also wanted her to NEVER CHANGE, which prompts that other theory that hte Lucy 50th anniversary special was shown three times to huge ratings BECAUSE after Sept 11th, people needed reassuring that things were the same as before and we weren't doomed. As for the studio, Desi could not make any decisions after ten AM because of his drinking and they all came to her to have her take over because the place was finished, and she did. And you know i've read all those nasty threads about her parenting skills and we all know she HATED running that place, she was a performer, not a CEO, but when they asked her, a very frugal woman to take her 600 thousand dollars, that she got every year, under the table to keep her at CBS and they told her she would save the company by using HER money to finance Star Trek and Mission Impossible, she said yes to help out the thousands of employees at Desilu, and it saved the company, which proves that hard work and hard decisions can save a company, Desi started it, yes, was a genius business man, yes, but his thrill of running it dissapeared and he became ill and it practically killed him in the end, ever read A BOOK? In it he says quite clearly how it all came to a halt, competing with other companies for shows, look at reruns today and you'll see the names like Four Star and Screen Gems and others. I'm not debating his skills, but he did let it all evaporate, as was his custom.

I forgot an important point, she bought him out, but they told her to sell it, she would have to rebuild it first as the only show they had on was HERS. And nobody, but nobody could help her career or present her better than HE did, now there was his genius, she should have kept him on as her manager instead of the other guy she happened to be married to. AND as has been pointed out by Desi's always defending daughter, she called him for advice on every decision she made at the company, and in her life for the rest of HIS life. So he helped her there also. But she had it easier, she LIVED to work, he wanted to retire and enjoy life, admit it, both had good arguments on that subject!

Let's face it, both could have used a little advice from Dr Phil! LOL!

okay guys.. let's not start that again.. LOL :lol:

I'm not going to say anything except that even though the Lucy Show was popular, everybody will always love I Love Lucy the best. I mean Lucy and Desi had a magic that could not be replaced..you can ask any Lucy fan that. There's no need to argue who ruined Desilu studios, because, it really was no one person's fault. :)

I love it when people are waiting for tapes, they subdue their comments, geez, i'm so glad i offered you one, should i try provoking you now, YES IT WAS HIS FAULT, . . . lol!

lol...haha nice try..

yes, Desi did have fault in it..it's vey difficult to say, but I don't blame him for it all..BUT YES HE DID HAVE ALOT TO DO WITH IT! lol Good one, Claude!

But who cares if Desilu is gone now, that studio accompished alot, I'm glad I watched the Desilu Story, I didn't realize it prodiced so many popular shows, especially Lassie! :)

I'm not trying to fight with you or anything, just a little peaceful debate, but I have to disagree with you. "I Love Lucy" is Lucy's most well known show, but it's Lucille Ball's face that has been seen by more people than anyone who ever lived. If she had stayed away from the public eye after ILL, she would be no where near as popular as she is today. Her other two shows were as popular as "I Love Lucy," when the were on the air, but now that they're in syndication they're kind of lost in the shadow of ILL, which is a shame because they're excellent shows. And Desilu was more sucessful once Lucy became president, than when Desi was because his constant drinking got in the way. You've said that Desilu went downhill when Desi left, but some of the most well known shows were made after he left (Star Trek, Mission Impossible, Mannix...). Sorry to be like this, it's just that I don't really like people to think that Lucy's only accomplishment was I Love Lucy, and that she never did anything important before or after that, because she certainly did. :)


BTW, that was very well said Claude!!

But how do you know there would have been a Lucy Show or Here's Lucy if there wasn't a Desi or I Love Lucy. Many times Lucy came to Desi for help, she called him every week asking for advice. I doubt without his business savvy she would have made it with a studio by herself. And I'm notreally sure about that statement about everything was better when he left..because he was president during I Love Lucy, and I Love Lucy beats all! lol!
I didn't say I Love Lucy was her only accomplishment, because it certainly was not. But I mean, I Love Lucy started it all. Lucille Ball even said herfelf that she kept the A-R combination in all her names because when she became an Arnaz, that's when she really hit it big. Now you can't argue with Lucy can you? :)

I agree with you there, Desi did help to make "I Love Lucy" the great sucess that it is today. All I was saying is that her other shows were still great, even without Desi, and the studio did well without him too, because the pressures of running that studio led him to drink, which ended up almost leading to the demise of it. Lucy saved it by buying it and helping to put on some of the best (?) shows. And I think that even if Lucy hadn't married Desi, there would still be a TLS and HL, because there would have been a tv series called "My Favorite Husband," which would have probably been great too, because Jess, Madelyn, and Bob would all be involved in it, just like they were on the radio show. That's just saying "if" though. I'm glad that everything worked out the way it did, because I Love Lucy definitely revolutionized television (and Desi did have a hand in that! lol)

lol! yeah

oh and my bad...i forgot about the My Favorite Husband situation.

my favorite! when Lucy finds out she's pregnant

Hey Amber, lets not forget that I'm one of the biggest Lucy fans ever!!! I would never in my entire existence try and take any credit away from Lucy, I just don't like when people try and take credit away from Desi. It's like he still dosen't get the full credit he deserves, before AND after he died. He was integral. He was a genious. Everyone of every generation following the early 1950's already know that Lucy was a genious, BUT SO WAS DESI. Thats my point.
P.S. Splain, I couldn't agree with you more about how they both needed a FISAKIATRIST!!:lol:

O/T then, but how come Ricky knows enough about English pronunciation to get amused by Ethel's psycho slip in The Seance, but doesn't know about the word 'psychiatrist'?! :)

The last viewing of this wonderful show that I have watched was "Lucy and Superman", episode #166. I watched that one last night. I love the scene where Lucy walks on balcony with all of those pigeons sitting on her. LOL, that was funny.

Isn't it strange though that the audience subdued it's laughter as they were afraid she'd fall off that ledge, people really DID believe everything they were seing, didn't they? I also think a great compliment to her acting skills wa the fact that people thought she made up the dialogue as she went along, Lucy found that to be great vindication as an actress. When we look back on it now, you see how natural she makes everything look, and having her real life hubby on the show had to have helped. As for the previous discussion, thanks for restraining yourself Mickey, and thanks Amber, but i agree with Mkaleek or whatever way you write that, one should always look at both sides, Lucy was a comic genius but could be hard to work with, yes, that's balanced. Desi was a genius pioneer, but he later let it all evaporate, also balanced. It's funny, they DID both see shrinks to try and save their marriage, Lucy used to tell this funny story how the doctor would be wiped out at the end of it after all their yelling and screaming at each other.

I agree..:)

Sorry about that before! I totally agree with everyone though, Desi was a real pioneer, he definitely deserves all the credit he has recieved, plus more. A lot of people didn't realize that he did all that he did, even Lucy said that. Carole Cook said in one interview that even in the middle of the divorce, when the press was saying how Lucy was the brains behind Desilu, Lucy corrected them, when she could have taken all the credit. Desi was great! It's too bad that his drinking really took over his life though. :(


To stay on topic, the last episode I watched was "Hollywood Anniversary." The ending is so sweet! :love:

Aww..yeah I loove that episode!! It's one of my faves! The last episode I watched was The Saxophone. =)

What a shame. One of the greatest dissapointments of the century. I just saw the episode with Lucy and Desi dancing on the floor, and I think Desi's singing "I'm in heaven". She's pregnant. I just can't remember the name of the episode.

Lucy is enceinte, Lucy's all time favorite, she said so on talk shows and even had it put in a time capsule one time as the best show of that series.

I think he's talking about the one where he sings Cheek to Cheek because TVLand is showing those right now. (well, not this exact minute but you know what I mean) Although I could be wrong. It has been known to happen!:lol:

Oh, you're right, i'm sorry, i haven't seen the show since they moved her to eleven so i lost track! I love that Heaven number, they're both so UP for it!

No, i'm pretty sure she meant the one where both their real life emotions came out and the audience wouldn't let them reshoot the perfect fake ending the show required.

yeah..I'm glad they used the first one..that episode definetly wouldn't have been the same. :)

Doesn't exactly count as the last episode of ILL that I watched, but I saw the Desi ep of Ironside again last night. Cracks me up every time. He's so funny, with his green bourbon and home made Scotch, and the thing with Ed and the ducks and the banana cocktails. :)

"the Desi episode of Ironside"??

'Splain, Mickey! 'splain! lol

Ironside and Ed are driving somewhere, talking about their friend that they're going to visit. Cut to a house where a very familiar Cuban (here a doctor) is just about to begin his housecalls. A small boy keeps trying to get him to examine his pet duck (except it's not a duck, it's a Mergansa). Anyways, a call comes in about a plane in trouble, and off he goes (Desi, not the the duck), to find that one of his patients has died onboard a private plane. Desi suspects foul play (or possibly fowl play, if the duck's involved) and ropes in Ironside to help him investigate. Cue much joking about alcohol, which Juan (our Cuban doctor hero) thinks is the only food a man needs (Ironside is very hungry). The boy and the duck return, and Desi and Ed (who turns out to be a duck expert (and to have hithertofore untapped comic timing excellence)) diagnose pregnancy. Boy duck now clearly girl duck. Sorry. Mergansa. Anyway, the gang head off for further investigations, still wanting food, so Desi buys them severely powerful banana cocktails instead, which clearly do the trick because they solve the case (won't tell you whodunnit in case you get to see it). Then there's a nice end scene when Desi plies Ironside with his home-made bourbon.

"That's bourbon? It's green."
"Of course is green. Is bourbon. What you want? Purple bourbon? You some kind of a nut?"

:)

That "heaven" number is a beautiful song. Desi sang it perfectly in that episode. That episode is like one of my all time favorites because it showed a close up of Lucy and Desi for a long time, while he was singing the song. they were kissing and laughing, and you really got to see them, not as Lucy and Ricky, but as Lucy and Desi, I think, for that short 4 minutes of them dancing together.

lol! Thanks Mickey!!


Oh, and yes, I loove that number! I like to picture them as Lucy and Desi alot of times than Lucy and Ricky..I mean every time I watch I Love Lucy, I'm thinking about them and how they're really married and stuff. :)

I last watched "The Inferiority Complex", but now I'm watching Lucy on "What's My Line?" (I know it's not an ILL ep, but..) :cool:

Well, i hadn't seen an ep since TV land moved her to 11PM, but i didn't work today so i finally got to see one last night, she was modeling Jacques Marcel's dress in Paris, what a riot! Mickey, do you have Desi on Saturday Night Live, hosting? I could put it on a tape for you witrh a few other things, you know things like LUCY LUCY LUCY!! LOL!

I just watched The Black Eye. Did anyone noticed how much thicker the cushion was on Ricky's side of the couch?:lol:

Ethel: Well it wasn't Fred MacMurray!:mad:

oouu..i gotta go see that! I've never noticed that before! O.o

I last watched "Lucy Changes Her Mind." I love Frank Nelson as the waiter. :lol:

Lucy Tells the Truth ("Marion stop cackling, I've been waiting 10 years for you to lay that egg!" :lol: )

"Ricky Asks for a Raise"

"The Camping Trip", episode #64

I just watched "Never Do Business with Friends." :)

One of my favorite lines comes from that episode:

Mrs. Trumbull: Why Mrs. Ricardo, your temper's as hot as your red hair!
Lucy: Well what about her?
Ethel: Oh mine's as cold as your dark roots!

:lol:

"Lucy Raise's Chicken's" I think there's two name's...something about the tango. Not 100% sure.

Great picture of Bill there, Lucas! :)

Hair makes all the difference!

"Equal Rights"....hadn't seen that one in a long while!

I just watched the one where Lucy goes over to Carolyn's with Little Ricky and insults Stevie. I can't remember the name. but I love the part where she tried to bite the phone cord so Ricky couldn't talk to Charlie..........

Carolyn? Carolyn who? Old what's his names wife?

"Equal Rights"...I forgot how funny that one is! :lol:

"Lucy and Ethel Buys The Same Dress"

My favorite part in there is when after Lucy and Ethel rehearse the song in the living room, Ricky and Fred imitate the la la la la la hip hip hip part! lol! I love that! :lol:

the last one I watched was 'The Kleptomaniac'
I LOVE that one!:lol:

The last episode I watched was 'The Kleptomaniac'
I LOVE that one!:lol:

"Ricky and Fred Are TV Fans."
Frankly, I agree with Ricky and Fred in this ep. Boxing was a very popular sport at that time, and television had just made it even more popular. So I don't think Lucy and Ethel should have been so upset that they want to watch the fights at the same time each week. The gals create their own complications by their actions to make R & F "understand how we feel about this," and then they say near the end it was R & F's fault for 'being so glued to that television set." And why couldn't they arrange ahead of time to go to a movie or somewhere, knowing the 'big fight' would be on?

I last watched "Deep Sea Fishing." :)

I watched 'RICKY's old girlfriend" today

I last watched "Ricky Minds the Baby"

I watched "Lucy Tells the Truth" this morning, before school.

"CHARM SCHOOL" was on this morning but I didn't watched it; earlier "Lucy fakes illness" was on and I had a blast

I just watched a Charm School. =) Very very funny!! =D Before that I watched Ricky Minds the Baby..can somebody tell me what happens after Lucy finds Little Ricky back safe in his crib at the end? My VCR stopped recording at that part! grr lol

THE DINER was on last night. That pie fight is so funny:D

Well, I've mostly been watching M*A*S*H recently, thanks to S2 finally coming out over here, but today I saw Pioneer Women again. Never quite saw why that one's seen to be such a classic, but I guess it's pretty good.

Probably because a loaf of bread that size don't come out of your oven everyday:lol:

I last watched "Lucy's Show Biz Swan Song."

The Fur Coat for me. God i love that one!

You asked me how I can like Lucy Wants a Career when she falls face first in to that cereal bowl because it looks painful and yet on The Fur Coat Ricky falls flat on his face and that looks painful and it's your favorite???? Now how does that work?:lol: Just out of curiosity, what part of the episode do you like so much?

That she goes nuts about the coat when she thinks it's for Ethel, how she reacts when he tells her it's for the show and she thinks it's for her, how she says she always says it's their anniversary when she sees a good present, how she wears it to bed, how he reminds the crook he forgot to take the coat when he leaves, how she wants to kill Ricky for THAT one. How shw wears it washing dishes, uses it as a blanket in bed, cuts it up and says Ricky won't notice it';s a fake because men dun't notice things like that. How she made the mink t shirt, how she got gifts anyway even though it wasn't their anniversary. Shall i go on? It had to hurt her when she fell into the bowl, that's her face, her livelyhood, him falling, who cares, he was so short anyway, it was a very small trip, LOL! Just kidding!

Speaking as somebody who's very short... Hey!

Desi doesn't mind falling over though. Watch the episodes. He falls over in half of them, gets thrown about by Lucy in the other half, gets beaten up by her in... the other half... Okay, few too many halves there.

Either way, he seems to enjoy it!

He probably longed to get some of that slapstick glory she always enjoyed.

That she goes nuts about the coat when she thinks it's for Ethel, how she reacts when he tells her it's for the show and she thinks it's for her, how she says she always says it's their anniversary when she sees a good present, how she wears it to bed, how he reminds the crook he forgot to take the coat when he leaves, how she wants to kill Ricky for THAT one.

How she made the mink t shirt, how she got gifts anyway even though it wasn't their anniversary. Well, if you can't think of anything...:lol: You know, Mickey, I think he did enjoy falling down. Cuz you're right, he did do that ALOT.

IT WAS THOSE HIGH ELEVATOR SHOES OF HIS!:lol:

He probably longed to get some of that slapstick glory she always enjoyed.

Then why wasn't it half so funny when she was the one doing the falling over?

Stands back and awaits backlash.

:lol:

lol I laughed my head off when Desi fell and when Lucy's face fell in the face bowl. I dodn't really think about them hurting themselves. But Desi's looked like it hurt more..ouch. He fell wham bam right on the floor didn't even try to stop himself with his hands or knees..Desi was just a good actor wasn't he? lol ;)

That's where you and I differ, i never found anything he did funny, he was the straight man after all, but he did get that bugged out eye thing right after doing it on practically every show, there, nobody could touch him, and the singing too of course, to think i used to hate all those musical numbers growing up and now i love them to death. Of course, when you've been hearing the same songs for half a century, they tend to get very familiart and nice to hear.
