I've heard Lucille Ball and I Love Lucy mentioned on several tv shows and movies and song and stuff. I thought we could all name were you heard something like this on other shows. Just to name a few...

1. Pretty Woman--They show a clip of "Lucy's Italian Movie"

2. Golden Girls--One time a guy asked Blanche if that was her true hair color and she said "yes" and Dorothy said something like "Yea, yours and Lucille Ball's"

3. On Nickaloadeon "The Fairly Odd-Parents"-- The babysitter is flipping through channels and she sees "I Love Wanda"

4. Tim Mcgraw's song "Where Were You"-- It said "Did you turn off that old violent movie and turn on I Love Lucy reruns?"

5. My friend has the "The Simpsons" version of the board game "Clue" and one of the places on the board is "Krustylu Studios"

6. Rat Race--They have the bus of Lucys :)

7. My dad got tickets to a Paul McCartney concert and I don't realy listen to his music...I like rap and hip hop and country and other stuff, but it was cool because when he sung "Lady Madonna" they showed pictures of alot of women who acclompished things and they showed Lucille Ball...along with like Princess Diana and other women.

Lucy is mentioned alot today...where else have you heard it mentioned???
:)

Wow, thanks for posting all of those! I'm going to download that Tim McGraw song now, just to hear the Lucy mention. :lol: Here's a few more.

1. In "The Golden Girls," Rose and Blanche watch an I Love Lucy marathon in one episode. They have a really funny conversation, but I don't know it word for word.

2. The ghost of Lucy McGuillicuddy Ricardo Carmichael (they forgot Carter and Barker, lol) visits Lisa in "The Simpsons." I thought the way they presented her, as being a chain smoking old lady was kind of rude, but it's nice that they atleast mentioned her. I know that there's a lot more Lucy mentions in The Simpsons besides that one.

3. Fran watches I Love Lucy the night before her wedding on "The Nanny."

That's all I can think of right now, but there's millions of Lucy mentions. :)

Yep. Krusty's studio is Krustylu. :D


In one of the Crocidille Dundee movies, Mick walks into a hotel room, turns on the TV, and ILL is on. He says something like, "This was on last time I was here." :lol:

Bart and Homer are also watching some weird version of ILL in that ep.

Paul Reiser does the "Lucy I'm home" line from time to time, and a lot of people use "Lucy..." Or the "You've got some 'splaining to do" line. It even crops up in British shows from time to time, and ILL is far from mainstream over here. Will And Grace mention Lucy occasionally too - in fact at times I think Grace's entire character is based around a bad attempt at a Lucy impersonation!

I think you'd be hard put to find a single American sitcom that hasn't referenced ILL at least in some way. It's a reference that you know everybody is going to get though, isn't it. A lot of pop culture stuff will not be understood by at least a small percentage of your audience, but an ILL line everybody's going to get, unless they're Adam Adamant or something. :)

Yes, all those were great, i noticed the Simpsons, James L Brooks is a fan, The Gilmore Girls, many mentions there, the writer is a fan also, and Will and Grace do it also. Whe Grace was wearing a 50's style dress, Karen saw her and asked where Fred and Ethel were!

1. In "The Golden Girls," Rose and Blanche watch an I Love Lucy marathon in one episode. They have a really funny conversation, but I don't know it word for word. I want to see that Golden Girls but i don't ever remember when the show's on.

I watch a show called Surprize by Design where they metion Lucy alot. And this isn't a show, but I saw some reddish orange nail polish at the store the other day and the color was called 'Lucy'.:)

WOW, that one was a surprise, thanks for telling us, boy Lucy sure is popular nowadays.

ha ha ha :( are you making fun of me?

The only one out of those that I've seen/heard in Tim McGraw's song! I was soo surprised and happy when I heard that. I don't even listen to country music, I was with my friend and we were riding in her car and it was on and when he said that I was like, ahhh! lol

In Home Alone 3, at the very end there's this crook is hiding in the doghouse, and the parrot rides in on the toy car and says, "Lucy, I'm Home!" lol!

I also heard from another Lucy board that in an episode of the muppets, Miss Piggy mentions something about Desi Arnaz! woot! go Desi!! lol

Hmm..I think that's all I've heard..

Last night on ET, that interviewer was offering champagne to the winners and mentionned it was as potent as Vitameatvegamin.

Wasn't that an Alan Jackson song?

yeah..lol, after I posted that, I was thinking..didn't I see Alan Jackson on my friend's CD? LOL I think it is Alan Jackson!

I'll mention some that I don't think anyone else mentioned yet...

The Simpsons- Moe had oysters that he thought looked like Lucille Ball.

Gilmore Girls- My friend is a huge fan of this show, so she always tells me if there's Lucy mentions. I think she said once the mom was wearing Lucy pajamas.

There's a lot of references on The Nanny too, like when Mr Sheffield says, "You and Ethel going to steal John Wayne's footprints?" and in other episodes people are watching Lucy and stuff.

My chemistry teacher always says, "Somebody 'splain to me," lol.

One of my friend's history teachers has a Lucy magnet on her file cabinet, and the assistant principle down in the middle school is a big Lucy fan, so her office is full of Lucy stuff.

Crazyredhead, I missed that part on Home Alone 3! That's cool! I'll have to watch it again and pay attention. :lol:

Last night The Gilmore Girls premiere had a Ricky Ricardo mention, as a new father did not want to know the sex of his new baby, like Ricky did not back in the 50's.

Isn't it amazing that I Love Lucy is still being mentioned frequently, almost 52 years after it's debut? I swear, that show will never lose it's popularity!

Oh, I remembered another one!

I was watching Animal Kidding on Animal Planet, and these two little girls was standing before this egg thing, where eggs come out and you have to catch them and put them in a basket. Well the eggs started coming out fast, and it was really hard for the girls to get them all, ad it reminded me of the Job Switching episode. And right when I thought about that, the narrorator said something about Lucy and Ethel! lol

Hmm..I'll try to see if i can remember some more..

Well, it figures as the writers who write the shows grew up on our favorite redhead like we did, so . . .

I remember last year when I was watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade, when they were showing the Hershey's float Kisses were on a conveyor belt and the announcer said it was a "Lucy and Ethel" moment. :)

I was watching Dr. Doolittle" (the 1st one) and this dog had red hair and Doolittle said

"You need a name. You have red hair. What about Lucy?"

But the dog was a boy so it got named Lucky.

:lol:

I am currently taping copies for someone and they include Lucy mentions on Designing Women, That 70's show and The Brady Bunch, Will and Grace, Mad about You and so many others.

Bart and Homer are also watching some weird version of ILL in that ep.

It went something like this...
Lucy: I want to be in the show
[smack}
Lucy: Waaaaah
Fred: You hit her pretty hard there, Rick/

That's a riot!:lol:

This was originally posted by TV Guy but I thought this one post would go well in this thread.

Has anyone noticed how much the writers of "The Simpsons" like to refer to "The Lucy Show"?

In one clip episode, everyone starts bringing up past memories, leading to clips. Then, Homer says "Remember the time I locked Mr. Mooney in a safe? It was another one of my crazy adventures...oh, wait, that was a 'Lucy Show'."

In another episode, the family is at a flea market, and Mo the bartender is hawking "Genuine oyster-shells hand painted to look like Lucille Ball. You're gonna love Oyster Lucy!" Then he makes his voice really deep, and imitates Lucy: "Oh, Mr. Mooney, I've just gotta meet Bob Cummings! Viiiiiiiiv!"

Finally, there's a show where Marge is laid up in the hospital, and Lisa is running the house. She has a vision of Lucille Ball, who introduces herself as "Lucy MacGillicuddy Ricardo Carmichael...and I think there's some more".

Besides ILL, has there been any references made to The Lucy Show?

I was just watching "The Cable Guy" last night. Of course, that whole movie is built on television references, but in the very last scene, Jim Carrey's character was asked what his real name is and he says, "Ricky, Ricky Ricardo" and laughs just like Desi. Then the "I Love Lucy" theme starts playing.

In "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," the show opened one time with a dream sequence that Clark was having. He dreamt that he was Ricky and Lois was Lucy. It was filmed in black and white and Clark's Ricky accent wasn't bad at all.

On the soap "Days of Our Lives," there have been a few Lucy mentions over the years. The one I recall most clearly was that one of the characters said that she couldn't wait to go home and put on her "Lucy and Ricky" pajamas and relax.

Yeah, that one i remembered, lousy movie though!

The other day on 'as the world turns' henry said to jack "you have a lot of 'splaining to do."

Also, Babs Bunny once did a Lucy impression on "Tiny Toon Adventures."

I was watching CNN when the whole Kobe Bryant scandal hit, and the anchor man said that Kobe would "have some 'splaining to do."

I've seen references to it on The Nanny and Mad About You (The beginning of one episode and Paul is laying in bed for some reason saying "Oh, Mr. Mooney" over and over as he slept.

It was weird....to say the least lol

As for the simpson's reference to TLS, obviously not only is someone on the writing staff a Lucy fan. He/she must love "The Lucy Show" lol

I think Paul mentionned Little Ricky when he was doing a documentary on old tv shows. And i also was surprised by the Mr Mooney line.:lol:

MTV Canada is showing reruns of those old REAL WORLD eps with Pedro and Puck, and Pedro walks in and says Lucy I'm Home!

Speaking of Puck, I just saw him on Cribs recently. He is so annoying. I couldn't imagine having to live with him. And Pedro, I think he died.:(

Yeah, sad isn't it, i thought i had read in People that Pedro died, but back then, i couldn't see The Real World, now i watch it every night, but they are the really old ones. I think they show the newer ones later in the evening, you guys and your prudish attitudes! And you're right, Puck is disgusting, i would starve before i'd live with someone like that, his finger went from his nose to the peanut butter jar, not for me! What's Cribs, i've seen the title, but never watched the show.

The celebrity takes you on a tour of their home. (that's cribs) I like the Real World Marathons. You can watch a whole season in one day. (or possibly two, depending on how many episodes there are)

I took the easy way out, i bought them on DVD. Thanks for the info on Cribs, will have to check that out.

Cribs is a pretty interesting show CLAUDE; you should catch it sometimes. I liked the REAL WORLD when PEDRO was around too; can't stand PUCK he's :p

I watched Six Feet Under and The Sopranos that way, I rented the entire seasons at the library. (No HBO:( ) I'm still waiting for Six feet Under season 2 to come out. I think I'm up to season 4 on the sopranos.

Well, good for you, i paid over a hundred dollars for season one of Six Feet and should have taped it off the air, but it's so time consuming, and of course they always add little extras on the DVD. I just love that show, the new one Carnavale is certainly not as good but still quite offbeat!

Good for me? Don't you ever rent them? How do you know if you want to buy them unless you see them first? I own a total of about 5 movies :D but then again if money was no object my video library might be bigger!:cool: :)

I just saw a mention on Full House.

Well, because i saw them on TV and then wanted to own them because it was one of the best shows on TV, they keep repeating them so i haven't even watched the DVD's yet!
