One yelling scene that irritates me is the scene in Lucy And The 20/20 Vision. The scene in the office when Harry yells at Lucy so loud, stuff falls off the walls. He really yelled at her loud. I was thinking, "That's borderline verbal abuse!"

I recently bought the complete series DVD and am getting re-acquainted with the show. It seems that Gale Gordon does a lot of yelling in this show, usually directed towards Lucy. Have you noticed this also? I don't think he yells that much as Mr. Mooney in The Lucy Show. Maybe as part of the format change with Here's Lucy, it was decided that Gale Gordon's character would be more aggressive, outspoken and borderline verbally abusive. Since Gale and Lucy were now playing roles as relatives, the writers might have thought he could yell at her more now and get away with it.

I'm glad The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy are complete on DVD. Both shows tend to get overlooked and not seen often on TV because I Love Lucy has always been so popular. But for me, I prefer The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy over I Love Lucy.
