I am curious..
Do I Love Lucy Fans like Lucy's other shows? I am curious because the other Lucy Show threads are not as active as ILL. What are your thoughts?

I Love Lucy = LOVED IT
The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour = LOVED IT
The Lucy Show = LOVED IT
Here's Lucy = LIKED IT ALOT
Life With Lucy = LIKED IT

Vote for The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, and Life with Lucy on DVD on www.tvshowsondvd.com!

I thought the Lucy show with Gale Gordon as Mr Mooney ( Which I havent seen in 20 years ) was very good.....I enjoy Heres Lucy with Gale Gordon as Lucys brother in law, less ( They almost seem to like each other in that one

), I think it was more a showcase for her children Lucy and Desi jr than for her talents, and as such, it has less of an edge......Life with Lucy, never saw it.

I was thinking today, I bet alot of people dont think about the Lucy&Viv B&W years, when thinking of The Lucy Show, they just seem to think about Lucy&Mooney the Colorized years.

When I think of Lucy, I think about the "I Love Lucy" show. Its my favorite, the others are ok but the first one is best.

sigmapi30 · 06-25-2007, 06:53 PM

Welcome to the Board! I wish everyone had as much enthusiam for all Lucy's shows as they do for I Love Lucy. Granted it was the best, but the others are great too! After all, it is Lucy!!

sigmapi30 · 07-01-2007, 11:09 AM

hmm...only a couple of posts. have many ILL fans been exposed to Lucy's other shows? i guess it's possible they havent.

Madame X · 07-01-2007, 12:32 PM

Well, since people aren't answering, I'll throw in my two cents worth. I have been a major "I Love Lucy" fan for over 45 years.

"The Lucy Show" was somewhat ok. I liked the B&W ones with Viv and some of the Mr. Mooney ones were pretty good. The best one was when Lucy and Viv install a shower. I didn't like Chris and Jerry. There was no chemistry and they didn't seem like a real family.

"Here's Lucy" wasn't as good. Gale Gordon's role as Harry didn't have the spark with Lucy as Mr. Mooney did. I liked seeing Lucy's real kids, but I thought Lucie was not a very good actress.

The reason the later shows couldn't hold a candle to "I Love Lucy" is because of the cast and crew. Vivian Vance might be the best side-kick ever. Desi and Bill added real charm. The production team had the top writers, directors, musicians, make-up, wardrobe and technical crew available.

Lucille Ball was great, but the magic of "I Love Lucy" was bigger than her alone. That's why the later shows weren't as popular.

i love her other shows prob. in the order that they were created. ILL TLS and HL. i love the lucy show bw years with viv. my fav. eps. is prob lucy and viv are tycoons where they are candy makers. i also like lucy ad viv put up a tv antenna CLASSIC. i recently purchased the entire ls series. i know the quality isnt as good as if it were professionaly done but just being able to see it again is good enough for me

sigmapi30 · 07-02-2007, 06:38 PM

Thats funny Madame X. I posted on another site that I wasnt a huge Lucie fan either. Felt bad for saying it but when I watch HL I am anxious for her parts to be over. I think its because of the tone of her voice. I dont know.
Desi Jr didnt bother me at all.

treky · 07-03-2007, 01:06 AM

I like ILL and TLS. HL wasOK not good but not bad either (at least; from what I remember. I haven't seen it in almost 30 years)
LIFE WITH LUCY was AWFUL!!!

CyBr · 07-03-2007, 01:49 PM

Gotta add my two cents here too. I think the main problem with TLS and HL was the kids in both shows. None of them could act! I like the early TLS because of Viv, and Gale Gordon was good with Lucy, but all the kids were awful!

comedyfreak · 07-04-2007, 05:16 AM

I loved all of Lucy's shows, each were funny and entertaining. Life With Lucy could have been alot better than it was, but I stll liked it although not as much as Lucy's previous shows.

tdr · 07-05-2007, 01:22 AM

In our house in the 60's and early 70's we just automatically watched Lucy, in TLS and then in HL. To be honest, I think I liked the 'newer' Lucy shows better than ILL for years there; and that can't be fully attributed to color, since we got our first color set in 1966 (I was 7 then). I think it was into the 70's when I realized I had seen every ILL episode, as they were on daily on an independent station at 5 p.m., that I began to really appreciate the writing of ILL and the different individual talents of the actors. It seems hard to believe that after 30 years, more dinky UHF stations showing it, and finally TVLand, it's still just that way. As for TLS and HL, they just seemed to fade; even when they have been on in syndication I have seldom been inclined to watch them. And I never saw Life with Lucy; it would seem some of y'all would say I didn't miss anything. But ILL, with me, just goes on and on. The show being so "dated" actually increases my interest, if anything.
