There are a lot of great episodes of I Love Lucy, so instead of asking for one gem, how about three? So please, name your three favorite episodes. The order makes no difference, just list your three favorites!

I would have to say the three classics: vitameatavegimin, the putty nose, and the candy factory. Well maybe not the candy factory, nevermind. I have no idea what the third one would be. I like the ones in Hollywood the best.

My favorites:

1. "Ethel's Hometown"
2. "Lucy Is Enciente"
3. "Ethel's Birthday"

------------------
Lucy: "Ever since we said 'I do' there are so many things we don't."

Lucy : "That must be my dear friend Ethel. I'll open the door, Fred."
Fred : "Open it?! I was going to lock it!"

Lucy : "Gee, did you hear that, honey? It's going to be called "Bitter Grapes." I wonder what part they want me for."
Fred : "Oh, you're probably going to be one of the bunch."

My faves:

Vitameanavegamin, the candy factory, and smashing the grapes!

The Quiz Show
The Marriage License
The Adagio

Of course, there are so many others! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Oh, I thought of the third one! I don't know the names, sorry. The one where they do the mattador (sp.?) dance and Lucy is the "bull." That was so hilarious! It always cracks me up also because it reminds me of the pantomime horse sketch from Monty Python, if anyone knows what I'm talking about. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wink.gif

I have to admit I am partial to the old ones:

1)Be a Pal
2)Lucy thinks Ricky is Trying to Murder Her
3)The Inferiority Complex

vitameatavegimin,the one where she's stealing John Waynes footprints (part 1&2)and the one where her and ethel build a barbaque Of course i love everyone, but those are just some faves!!

Same here.

1) Vitameatavegamin
2) Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress (The one where Ethel and Lucy are performing the song "Friendship" and end up ripping each other's dresses apart)
3) Ethel's Hometown (I love it when Ethel is performing and doesnt know Lucy, Ricky, and Fred are behind her)

1. Job switching
2. Ethels hometown
3. Lucy does a tv commercial

I love them all though!

1) "LA at Last"
2) "Lucy is Enciente"
3) "Handcuffs"

"LA at Last" will always be my number one, but #2 and #3 tend to change a lot for me. It is so hard to choose cause I love 'em all!

1. Lucy Does a TV Commercial
2. The Black Eye
3. a tie between The Quiz Show and Hollywood Anniversary

Here are my three current favorites:

1. Job Switching, episode #39 (the Candy Factory episode)
2. Home From Europe, episode #153 (Lucy fakes the baby as a piece of cheddar cheese episode)
3. Pioneer Women, episode #25 (The loaf of bread episode)

I have many favorites but these are my current top three. Please keep in mind that my top 3/5/10 always change and therefore I love every single "I Love Lucy" episode.

ahh, OnLY 3??? I cant list only 3 but here i go..
1) Lucy Thinks Ricky is Trying to Murder Her
2) The Diet
3) Ricky Loses his Voice

My top three ILL:

1) LA at Last (the William Holden episode)
2) Lucy Meets Charles Boyer
3) The one where Ricky and Lucy perform "Cuban Pete and Sally Sweet"--from early in the first season.

Buddy Love-- That episode where Lucy & Desi sing cuban pete.. is called The Diet... which is Episode number 4. I hope I helped some! :)

thanks Turnblue for the info--I appreciate it. BTW, I think Nicole Kidman rocks, too.

L A at Last, Hollywood Anniversary and Vitameatavegimin!

Vitameanavegamin, Job Switching(The Candy Factory), and the episode where Lucy stomps the grapes.

1) Vitameatavegamin (I know its so cliche to say this is my favorite, but its just soooo funny)

2) Lucy's birthday when she thinks no one remembered. ("we are friends of the friendless, yes we are!")

3) The one where Lucy pretends to have a strange disease to get Ricky's attention and then he gets a doctor to trick her into thinking she really is sick. (Because its the first one I ever saw)

2. the Gossip one
3. Lucy Tells the Truth
4. Equal Rights
5. Lucy and The Dummy
