me too...

Vitameatvegamin, job switching L A at Last, the grapes and the baby show, five is as few as i can name for the best ep ever, it just can't be done under five!

Bonus Bucks!!

Job Switching and Lucy Does a Commerical. The Birth of Little Ricky was also a very good show. :)

I think Job Switching, Bonus Bucks, and Home From Europe are the Top 3 episodes of the entire "I Love Lucy" series.

"Job Switching," "Lucy Does a TV Commercial," when Lucy announces she is pregnant, the birth of Little Ricky, "First Stop" are some of my favorites.

"LA at Last" :wave:

Be A Pal
Lucy Does A TV Commercial(Vitametavegamin)
Lucy With Ricky On The Game Show(where Lucy steals the answers and come to find out that they pulled a switcheroo by putting different questions in a fishbowl and Ricky answering the questions that Lucy stole that were funny)
The Freezer
Breaking The Lease
The TV
The Gossip Episode(where all of them have to keep from gossiping)
Lucy Making Bread
The Chocolate Factory
The Home Movies Episode(where Lucy,Fred and Ethel splice their movie with his home movies and his pilot for his show)
Little Ricky's Birth
The Ballet
Lucy With Her Head In The Loving Cup
Lucy In The Apartment Pretending To Be A Chair
Bonus Bucks
Lucy And John Wayne
Lucy And The Riding Mower(The Tulips Episode)
Lucy And The Eggs
Lucy Tries Out For The Band
Lucy And The Fur Coat
Lucy's Schedule
The Episode Where Lucy, Ethel, and Fred disguise themselves as different people to help bring back Ricky to the Tropiciana

There are many ILL that I love, but The Camping Trip is my all-time favorite.

I think my favorite episode is "The Kleptomaniac" and "Lucy in the Swiss Alps."

lucylova, one of my favorites also is Lucy in the alps. I love it when Fred thinks the groups in locano and Lucy says " no we are in locerne". THe writers were clever. A few wrong letters and fred;s lost glasses and the band is in the wrong city. Another funny one is Gale Gordon as Ricky's boss and the trio dress up to say they miss ricky ricardo and don't want xavier, king of the kongas to play and they all walk out. LUcy in her sassy accent/ "Ricky Richardo, ain't here no more. Who was the dope that let him" go is priceless.

And seeing Fred in drag was absolutely hilarious! He made an ugly woman! LOL!!

He wasn't even that great looking as a guy! LOL!

Lucy buys a Paris Gown is my all time favorite. I love it.. when she goes on "The Hunger Strike" I also love the Monte Carlo episode... LOL.

i liked all the episodes. but i realy loved the one where Lucy had to make her own dress and give herself her own permanent.

All great choices, i have a couple that are a notch above the others, Hollywood Anniversary and the Dancing with Van Johnson ones where she is so natural and truly shines.

Haha and Lucy goes to scotland *Shivers* puke:

ALL RIGHT, 178 THEN! Which is funny, cause when you get the tape i'm making you, you'll laugh at the line Sid Caesar says, she made 500 shows and all of them great and two of them stunk, you know which ones i'm talking about, obviously, he was referring to those two shows! LOL!

I like your taste!

Yes, all great choices. Sometimes the episode is so so like Mertz and Kertz, but like you stated, there's a lways a routine or song or scene that saves it and makes it worthwhile!
