Redd Foxx on "The Lucy Show"...

[bothteams]

Is anyone familiar with this episode? I read that Redd Foxx and Lucille Ball did not get along during the filming. I heard that during rehearsals, Redd upstaged Lucy, and he got more laughs from the director, producers and crew. She felt humiliated and stormed off of the set, and refused to be in any scenes with Foxx. He was replaced during filming. Only this still has surfaced. There is supposed to be some extra video tape that survived, and is located at the Museum of Radio & Television in Beverly Hills. Has anyone heard of this rare episode?

Heard where and replaced by whom?

it's the episode where Lucy wins the trip to London with Mr Mooney sitting on the side--Redd Foxx's face is photoshopped onto Gale Gordon's body.

Thanks Jude! I haven't seen this show in years so I never would've guessed that.

You're welcome, Zoneboy! I have that episode on tape and seen it dozens of times. I also own the Lucy Book, which chronicles just about every Lucy appearance ever done on TV and Redd Foxx never once guested on The Lucy Show!

what's up with all this false information lately? First I saw someone post that he appeared on the Addams Family and that was not true and now I found out Redd Foxx never appeared on this show either.

It's the same person who started both threads.

I think your complaints should be aimed at TV Land:http://www.tvland.com/shows/sanford/actor1.jhtml
Don't get me wrong. I am impressed with the knowledge of forum members. However, seems many folks only know about TV episodes that actually aired. There are many episodes that are "scrapped" by the studios, and instances where scenes are deleted and actors are replaced. I am about to go to The Museum of Radio & Television and try to take a cell phone pic of Redd Foxx on "Green Acres".

The picture's you're posting are fakes. TV Land is wrong. They know nothing about classic tv anymore anyway.

First you tell us that Redd Foxx was on The Addam's Family but that episode never aired for racial reasons. Then he was on The Lucy Show but was replaced because he upstaged Lucy who refused to work with him and now you're going to get a photo of him on Green Acres. What happened with that episode, Did Redd Foxx upstage Arnold Ziffel?

I can't believe TV Land actually has that crap listed in Redd Foxx's bio. Who does the research over there? Certainly not people who watch classic TV!
