Anyone want to play six degrees of Lucille Ball?

For example: Link Lucy to Martin Milner (don't ask who's that? or I'll smack ya! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wink.gif)

Lucy was on Here's Lucy with Desi Jr.

Desi Jr. was in How to Pick up Girls with Richard Dawson.

Richard Dawson was on the The New Dick Van Dyke Show with Dick Van Dyke.

DVD was on Diagnosis Murder with Barry Van Dyke.

BVD was on Galactica 1980 with Kent McCord.

Kent was on Adam-12 with Martin Milner.

Easy huh? Now someone else do one.

P.S.

You CAN do it in less than 6 steps, but less than 3 is weak and more than 6 is too much.

LUCY to NANCY WALKER:

The STEPS-
1. LUCY was on "The Lucy Show" with guest star CAROL BURNETT

2. CAROL was on "The Carol Burnett Show" with cast member DICK VAN DYKE

3. DVD was in "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
with cast member MARY TYLER MOORE

4. MARY was on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" with cast friend VALERIE HARPER

Moving further on:
5. VALERIE was on "Rhoda" with cast member Nancy Walker (character Ida Morgonstern)

Great! Let's get as many as we can.

Lucy to Nancy Walker is one step: both were in Best Foot Forward.

Oh that's right, I forgot. But it's a different way to do it.

Okay, here's another. This one took longer than the other one, and I somehow got Richard in there again (hey, gotta stay true to the screen name you know!), but anyway, here goes.

Lucy to George Maharis
(I can hear it now; Who's George Maharis?)

Lucy was in Lured with George Sanders.

George Sanders was in The Picture of Dorian Gray with Donna Reed.

Donna Reed was on The Donna Reed Show with Bob Crane.

Bob Crane was on Hogan's Heroes with Richard Dawson.

Richard Dawson was on Masqurade Party with Bill Bixby.

Bill Bixby was in Rich Man, Poor Man with George Maharis.

Whew, that one was exhausting.

There's another way to do that.

Lucy was in Fancy Pants with Bob Hope.

Bob Hope was in Road to Rio with Bing Crosby.

Bing Crosby was in High Society with Frank Sinatra.

Frank Sinatra was in Movin' with Nancy with Frank Sinatra Jr.

Frank Sinatra Jr. was in Adam-12 with Martin Milner.

Marty was in Route 66 with George Maharis.

http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/lol.gif Now that's just bad. I've been watching too much Route 66 lately.

Bea Arthur was in "The Golden Girls" with Estelle Getty
Estelle Getty was in "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" with Sylvester Stallone

------------------
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."

LUCY to PENNY MARSHALL

3. RON HOWARD was on "Happy Days" with guest star PENNY MARSHALL



#3rd Way- The STEPS

------------------
"You forget, with me, contributions aren't deductible."

Like I said before, there are more ways to do this. I even figured a couple more ways from Lucy to Penny.

Hmm, I have no idea where this came from.

Lucy was in ILL episode #177 with Barbara Eden.

Barbara Eden was in 2 episodes of Route 66 with Martin Milner.

Marty was on Swiss Family Robinson with Helen Hunt.

Helen was on Mad About You with Paul Reiser.

Paul was on My Two Dads with Florence Stanley.

Florence was on Barney Miller with Hal Linden.

Thus linking Lucy to Hal Linden.

http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/lol.gif I got another.

Lucy to Diana Dors

Lucy was in Without Love with Katharine Hepburn.

Katharine was in Long Day's Journey into Night with Dean Stockwell.

Dean was in Compulsion with Martin Milner.

Marty was in an episode of Adam-12 with JoAnne Worley.

JoAnne was on Laugh-In with Goldie Hawn.

Goldie was in There's a Girl in My Soup with Diana Dors.

Now, surprisingly enough to me, I managed to do that WITHOUT using Diana's ex-hubby, Richard Dawson, but Marty Milner's still in there! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Lucy was on the Bob Hope Chevy Show with Diana Dors. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wink.gif

------------------
"You forget, with me, contributions aren't deductible."

Yeah, I even have that, but there is more than one way to do these things. Besides, I forgot!

I'm bored, so I thought I'd resurect old topics. Besides, there are lots of new people on the board, so I thought I'd give them a chance. Anyone have a 6 degrees of Lucy?

Andy Griffith to Lucille Ball
Andy Griffith was on The Andy Griffith show with Don Knotts
Don Knotts was on Threes Company
Lucille Ball did a special on Threes Company

There are 4 ways (probably more too) to do this:



Here's a fifth way: Lucille Ball was on Here's Lucy with Tony Randall. Tony Randall was on The Odd Couple with Penny Marshall.

And a sixth way (if writers count): Garry Marshall (Penny's brother) was a writer on The Lucy Show.

Someone already pointed out that Lucy was in Best Foot Forward with Nancy Walker. Another way is this: Lucy was in I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, etc. with Vivian Vance. Vivian Vance was on Rhoda with Nancy Walker.

Here's one: Lucy to Madonna, 3 steps (or two?):

Lucy was in Here's Lucy and The Lucy Show and I Love Lucy with Desi Arnaz, Jr.

Desi Arnaz, Jr. (and in a way, Lucille Ball, too) was in The Mambo Kings with Antonio Banderas.

Antonio Banderas was in Evita with Madonna.

And another: Lucille Ball to Britney Spears (4 steps):

Lucille Ball was in Here's Lucy, etc. with Desi Arnaz, Jr.

Desi Arnaz, Jr. was in The Mambo Kings with Antonio Banderas.

Antonio Banderas was in Evita with Madonna.

Madonna was in There's Only One Madonna with Britney Spears.

Tony Randall, Andy Griffith, and Alan Hale, Jr. were on Here's Lucy with Lucille Ball. Mary Tyler Moore was on The Mary Tyler Moore Hour with Lucille Ball.

That's great! I NEVER would have thought to connect Lucy to someone like Britney! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Here's one for ya http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wink.gif

Lucille Ball to Helen Hunt (2 steps...)

* Lucille Ball and Lucie Arnaz (aside the mother-daughter thing) worked together on Here's Lucy

* Lucie Arnaz starred with Helen Hunt in Streetkill

Okay this is my very first 6 degrees attempt But how about Lucille Ball to Harry Potter?

Aaron Spelling was on an episode of I love Lucy.
Aaron was the producer of Dynasty that "starred" Heather Lochlear.
Heather is in Spin City with Barry Bostwick
that was in Rocky Horror with Tim Curry
Tim Curry was in Home Alone 2, directed by
Chris Columbus who directed Harry Potter

How'd I do?

You did great!

------------------
Get your kicks on Route 66!

Congratulations to the 2001 Winston Cup Champion- Jeff Gordon!

Ah yes, but Desi Arnaz was never on I Love Lucy little ricky was played by many different actors and babys but never by desir arnaz jr... unless i have been misinformed

Desi Jr. was in the very last episode of ILL at the statue dedication. The little boy standing in front of Ethel to whom she asks if he's having a good time is Desi Jr.

ooooh yah i do remeber that now that you brought that to my attenion....

Here's an unlikely couple:
Lucy to D.L. Hughley:

Lucy was in "Mame" with Bea Arthur
Bea was in "The Golden Girls" with Betty White
Betty was in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" with Cloris Leachman
Cloris was in "The Facts of Life" with Kim Fields
Kim was in "Living Single" with John Henton
John is in "The Hughleys" with D.L. Hughley

And that was exactley six steps!

Awesome JT! And you're right; D.L. and Lucy are an unlikely couple. :)

Your right. Little ricky was never played by Desi Arnaz jr. though lots of people think he was Lucy and Desi's real kid because he looked SO much like Desi!

two steps from Lucy to Jay North:

1)Lucy starred in The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy with Gale
Gordon.

2)Gale Gordon played Mr.Wilson opposite Jay North in
Dennis The Menace.

btw:If you think about it you can use the connection between
Lucy and Don Knotts or John Ritter to connect Lucy to Suzanne
Somers,Joyce Dewitt,Norman Fell,Audra Lindley,Priscilla Barnes,
Jennilee Harrison or Richard Kline!!!!!:)

One Step:

Jay North was on The Lucy Show ep "Lucy The Robot."
