Am I alone in being a fan of ILL & L-DCH but... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

not of The Lucy Show or Here's Lucy?

I just love the four of them together and otherwise I find myself not interested (though Lucy and Viv stayed together for a while).

Anyone else, or am I alone in my blasphemy?

SPLAIN · 03-25-2004, 03:16 PM

Well, sorta, LOL! Maybe the reason is that like most of her fans, you NEVER see those OTHER two series. SOME of those shows were just as good if not BETTER than any I Love Lucy episode, of course some also were terrible, but then even the GREAT I Love Lucy had Drafted and a few other stinkers, LOL!

Fran=Lucy · 03-25-2004, 03:30 PM

Haha. Don't feel bad. A lot of people prefer I Love Lucy and The Lucy-Desi CH over The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy. SPLAIN is right, a lot of people don't get to see the other shows. I personally love all 4 of them. Although, I gotta be honest...*whispering* I prefer I Love Lucy.

I'm as much of a Desi Arnaz fan as I am a Lucille Ball fan, so during one of the rare times that I do get to see one of Lucy's other sitcoms, I feel like it is a real treat, yet I miss Desi's presence.

SPLAIN · 03-25-2004, 04:20 PM

Yeah, it was never the same with a banker instead of a husband, you're right, but some of them were gems just like the original series.

My favorite episodes of "The Lucy Show" are from the first season, when it's pretty much Lucy, Viv, and the kids. Mr. Mooney kind of got on my nerves.

dawsongirl · 03-26-2004, 02:10 AM

*raises hand* I don't like The Lucy Show and only like the Here's Lucy eps with Desi Jr....cuz, well, he was cute.

Ethel2Tillie · 03-26-2004, 10:13 AM

I enjoy watching Lucy's other sitcoms, but nothing compares to the chemistry that Lucy, Desi, Viv and Bill had together.

SPLAIN · 03-26-2004, 11:55 AM

Sorry, but when you haven't seen them for decades, watching eps of The Lucy show or here's lucy are just as great as I Love Lucy, BUT i admit they don't have the longevity though!

At least you have a good reason!

SPLAIN · 03-26-2004, 02:13 PM

Dawson girl and her men, now that would be SOME miniseries. She has good taste though! But she never did exit the fifties and sixties.

Lodee · 03-26-2004, 02:50 PM

Desi Jr was cute on here's Lucy!

crazyredhead · 03-26-2004, 03:06 PM

I Love Lucy will always be my #1 choice by a mile, but I've got a couple of dvds of The Lucy Show and I have to say I quite enjoyed them. They were even the later ones, without Viv. I have never seen an episode of Here's Lucy, but I would like to see one with both of her kids in it.

SPLAIN · 03-26-2004, 03:17 PM

You're correct Bekah, the Lucy shows on DVD are not the BEST ones by any means, and Here's Lucy had some GREAT shows with HER kids, they were all natural together, understandably, and Lucy ALWAYS worked best when it was with people she loved, if i know anything about her, it's THAT! And she LOVED working with her kids! And yes, it's true, Desi jr was quite the matinee idol in those days, i remember, a rock star at 12 or 13 and it just intensified from there.

hawaii five-o · 03-26-2004, 05:30 PM

What I don't like about the California episodes of "The Lucy Show" is that there were only two major plots:

1. Lucy does something stupid and Mr. Mooney fires her.

2. Lucy schemes to meet a famous celebrity.
