I have not watched all the episodes in the 5th season yet, but so far I can say that overall I am enjoying this season a lot. The first few episodes where Lucy has the broken leg I really enjoyed. I had several laugh outloud moments when watching.

Even though the premise of wearing the penguin suit was a repeat of an old Lucy gag (kangaroo suit anyone?), it was still overall a very good episode and rooted in reality. Also the pickle episode is very fun, too.

So far the only episode I have watched that I was just like "Blah" over was the "Lucy Goes To Prison" episode. Not that I thought Lucy herself was bad, or even the story, it was Elsa Lanchester and the dancing and singing. I just didn't care for that that part the episode and I felt rather embarrassed watching it -- and I was alone at home at the time!

I agree with the other comments "Here's Lucy" seasons 5 was really good,I too struggled with season 4,I didn't think the Flip Wilson one,was too good and the Lucie Arnaz pilot episode was terrible.

Nice to see Desi Jnr back for his last appearance on the show,I think Lucy
breaking her leg in real life,gave the show a new lease of life,the endless arguments in the office with Harry,could get a bit warying,loved it when
Eva Gabor was sharing Lucy's room and the episode with Harry looking after
Lucy at home.

Nice to see Mary Jane in it more,she always makes me laugh,the episode with Mary-Jane and Vanda diet one,was one of the weaker ones though.
Loved the Totie Fields episode,sad to hear she died in 78.

Really enjoyed it,after season4 being a bit of a let down was delighted with season5.
