I have mixed feelings about the show. Some were too far-fetched, but many were excellent. The Danny Thomas episode is one of my all-time Lucy favorites.

When did Edie sing on the episode she was on? If she did, Halllmark must have cut it out. Nick at Nite may have aired it, though.

I can't believe they would cut the scene with Edie's song -- it was very memorable, and included in airings on other networks. Final episode, April 1960. Try youtube for that segment:

(Of course, this was Lucy-Desi, not "I Love Lucy" as it's been mislabeled there.)

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated!

You're welcome...! I came across that when I was checking for the lyrics.

Nice voice -- Wow did she look great too!

ThomasE · 02-29-2012, 08:37 PM

She was very attractive. That's what I liked about her. It was reported that after Ernie died, she did commercials and other tv spots to take care of her late hubby's IRS debts. She refused help from her friends.

I wonder how they did the editing as it seems the breaks for the episodes seems to be at the half-hour break in the story. Did they redited right from the uncut hour shows and edited them more evenly balanced or if they edited the hour shows and just split?

The one thing I noticed was "Lucy Goes to Havana" didn't have a neat break - most likely due to the original version being 75 minutes!

Where does this leave the show now? Are they going to air it anytime soon? If not, typical Hallmark. You watch something and then either they pull it or move it around. Ex. Empty Nest, Bob Newhart Show etc.

Yes they will re air a marathon of it on Saturday March 24th
