Episode(s) you simply didn't like, and why - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Do not get me wrong folks -- I am a very avid I Love Lucy fan, but of course, all good things have some bad measure to it, so here I list my four leaset favorite episodes (in order of great to mild dislike):

When Lucy pretends to be a "maha-rinrcess" from "Franistan." Give me a break -- that one is just too stupid, and not funny. They play it as if nobody questions a never-heard-of country, much less the grossly ridiculous titile of Maharincess. Oh, and that god-awful silly accent she and Ethel spoke in --Very insulting to the audience and the rest of the actors. God, I detest that one.

When Fred, Ethel and Lucy dress up as teeny-boppers to show that his young fans are all gushing over Ricky. I mean, they were in their late 30's to 60 years old. GAAAH!

When Mrs. Trumbull complains about Little Ricky's crying. That decrepit old witch always sickened me.

The one when Little Ricky pounds those same five beats on his drums and they kept it up for almost the entire episode. This one is actually pretty cute, yet every time I see it I hear in my head those same beats for days afterward!

There is only one. The Scotland episode where Lucy dreams she is visiting there and Fred and Ethel are a two-headed dragon. HORRIBLE.

Frischman_Fan · 05-29-2007, 11:04 PM

The Young Fans
New Neighbors
Handcuffs
Oil Wells
The Diner
Country Club Dance

And basically the eps where Lucy and the gang are in France and Italy(except the grape stomping one)

Those eps to me are just blah!

Madame X · 05-30-2007, 12:17 AM

Some episodes are a little slow-paced, but let's face it, there can't be high energy and barrels of laughs in every one.

The only one I will never watch again is the Scotland one (unless it is to pick it apart).

CyBr · 05-30-2007, 06:20 AM

The only ones I really can't stand are the Scotland one and "Drafted." Fred thinking Ethel is pregnant is too much for me.

The Scotland episode for me.

AB · 05-31-2007, 04:20 PM

I didn't care much for the Scotland episode either.

There was one called the Operetta, where Lucy writes a play for her ladies club. I think she was treasurer of the ladies club and there wasn't any money in the account, so she had to come up with a plan to get the money back. I just didn't care too much for that episode.

benjamoon · 06-03-2007, 03:37 PM

These are the few I don't like (and even Lucy's worst episodes are better than many shows' "middle of the pack" episodes)

Lucy Goes to Scotland
Drafted
The Benefit
The Adagio
The Indian Show

Katya · 07-21-2007, 01:44 AM

Drafted-just hate it it dosen't even seem like an ILL episode
Young Fans-the kids were annoying -especially Peggy
The Inferority Complex-Lucy was just too dumb and the episode lacked energy and the doctor was a creep
The Publicity Agent-just a very lame episode
The Courtroom-No one but Fred was funny in that episode and the judge annoyed the heck out of me

Mikado · 07-21-2007, 02:26 AM

I honestly cant think of one I didnt like....maybe some i liked less than others, but, never one i didnt like at all.....furthermore, I LOVE the Scotland one ( You're all picking on my all-time fave ep

) ; how can anyone NOT like a show featuring a song like "Im in love with a dragon's dinner"???

???

( Oh well, diff Strokes, and all that

)

May the 2-headed dragon eat you all

hehehe

coffield3 · 07-21-2007, 10:12 PM

Mikado · 07-21-2007, 10:30 PM

Weird, my fave ep is everyone elses least fave

Ireneparalegal · 07-21-2007, 10:40 PM

Let me add Little Ricky's school pageant. Not one of my faves at all.

Katya · 07-22-2007, 10:04 AM

I didn't care much for The Ricardo's Visit Cuba either I think that Uncle Alberto was just awful they shouldn't have given him the time of day.
