I was just curious, what does everyone think is the best guest episode Viv did? I've only seen one, "Lucy the Matchmaker", but I've heard the other ones were better. Vance's character's name in this show was Vivian Jones, and in her first guest spot was said to live in Santa Fe, but later episodes would place her "back East"...here is the list of her guest episodes:

Season 1
------------
"Lucy the Matchmaker"

Season 2
------------
"Lucy and Lawrence Welk"
"Lucy and Vivian Vance" (also called "Lucy & Viv Visit Tijuana")

Season 3
------------

"Lucy Goes Hawaiian Part 1"
"Lucy Goes Hawaiian Part 2"

Season 4
------------

"With Viv as a Friend, Who Needs an Enemy?"


Questions or additional comments welcome!

I have all four thanks to a friend who made me copies and i had forgotten how great she was, you're right though, the other three are better than that one. But they are all great!

I have seen all of her guest spots that she made on Here's Lucy. I like all of them about the same.

Yeah...it's just so cool seeing Vivian Vance walk onto a stage with Lucille Ball...it can just give you chills! :) May they both RIP :(

Then, get a copy of the last special they all did together, Lucy calls the President, it was just like old times, in 1977, two years before Viv passed away! And Mary Jane and Mary Wickes and Gale, they were all there too!
