LOL...I was cracking up, watching the ending of "Breaking the Lease" when they do the dance "El Breako the Leaso" and Fred and Ethel walk in with the ceiling that fell down all over them, watch carefully as Lucy and Desi crack up...I don't think they were suppose to laugh on purpose...just watch Lucy's face, she tries so hard to hold in her laugh.

Yes, one of those RARE instances where it seems real and not written in the script.

Kazza · 02-23-2004, 02:04 PM

My favorite part of that ep is when Lucy suggest Ricky to rehearse there:"We are going to blow the roof of this joint". It seemed like both were enjoying themselves so much while doing that dance and BOTH were holding their laughter at the Fred and Ethel sight

SPLAIN · 02-23-2004, 02:50 PM

Maybe they couldn't rehearse them being all covered with that mess like that so then Lucy and Desi saw them for the one and only time looking like that, covered in plaster and even a chandelier, yeah, that would make me laugh also!

Yes... because Lucy was no fun! See, Desi never worried about that. He was always laughing on camera!

And behind them too.You could hear his laugh a mile away. LOL

SPLAIN · 02-24-2004, 02:04 PM

I know, so professional, it amazes me that they never gave him an Emmy for that! LOL! All actors should break character every chance they get, it would avoid the need for awards to reward excellence. You see, only when you provoke me, LOL!

It only seems bad when you compare it to today, though. Back in the fifties, scenery moved, you saw the wires on Flash Gordon's spaceship, you'd see the shadows of the camera and the sound boom - it was a totally different world, in terms of TV standards. Plus there was limited time for filming, etc. One of my favourite shows is Doctor Who, and back in the earliest episodes, from 1963 on, they'd be broadcasting episodes with screwed up dialogue in - because they didn't have time to reshoot. Also in those days a lot of drama went out live, so the viewers were used to mistakes anyway. It was supposed to be just like watching a play at the theatre.

Anyway, I like it when Desi laughs - and so should you! It shows he appreciates Lucy!

The Sci-Fi channel shows stuff like that with very old fashioned special effects

It's good to know I wasnt alone when Dr Who was on; I watched it all the time

And yes, Desi's laughing behind the scenes was great at showing how someone can be so open at emotions and enjoys his partners work

x1LucyFanx · 02-24-2004, 09:53 PM

Well...I dunno I laughed harder at Lucy's face, just the way she tried so hard to hold it in and it was such a treat to see her laughing.

SPLAIN · 02-25-2004, 10:33 AM

Then get your hands on a copy of Lucy meets The Berles. She pours a salad on his head, and they hadn't rehearsed it with the dressing and everything and when it started coming down his face and neck, he was dying to ad lib but had been warned by her not to until the dialogue was totally done and the show finished, Milton could hardly do his lines, he couldn't see properly and the dialogue barely got out, but Lucy laughed ONLY the minute the director had yelled CUT and the scene was totally over, that's what a pro does. But i too enjoy Desi's laugh on any of the shows.

crazyredhead · 02-25-2004, 06:39 PM

Finaslly decided to watch that episode after having it for two years! LOL
Very funny!

I love it how Desi laughs at everything, lightens up the show. And his laugh..too much! LOL

it's like he's saying...

"AHHAHAHAHAHAHA..."

SPLAIN · 02-26-2004, 10:31 AM

Yes his laugh was definitely genuine and heartfelt!

Mkaleek · 02-28-2004, 03:44 AM

I caught the episode of "Lucy Meets The Berles", and I saw the part where she poured the salad all over Milton's head. As much of a pro as Milton Berle is, you could see him trying to hold back laughs too. I don't think it has anything to do with professionalism, but more with how well you can hold back a laugh, and for that I give Lucy credit. Improvisation can catch the best of us off-guard.
