Question about Lucy Ricardo - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Was she an only child?

Ireneparalegal · 06-02-2008, 07:11 PM

Yes. And her father was never mentioned on the show either. Only her mother.

Jude The Obscure · 06-02-2008, 07:17 PM

I like how in The Lucy Show, Lucy is given a sister, played by Janet Waldo (and seen for only one episode). Her mother is mentioned also in the series, but once again, I don't think Lucy mentioned her father in that show either.

It has been YEARS since I have seen the Lucy Show. I can't recall so many things abt it.

That's why God sent me to you, Irene! I'm your Lucy Show angel

Also I take it that Ethel parents were divorced because in one episode she went to go stay with her mother, and then in the Hollywood episodes they stopped by her dads house and her mother wasn't around. Odd?????

I think that's just another inconsistency. Like what ever happened to Butch the dog?

When Mrs. McGillicuddy realized what a handful Little Lucy was, she went and had her tubes tied.

Me either. I didn't remember Lucy having a sister.

He was mentioned in a lie-- when Ricky had some Spanish-speaking friends in the apartment, he translated one of their questions, "They want to know if the color of your hair is natural." Lucy said, "Yes, tell them certainly it's natural-- my mother and my father both had red hair." [Ricky tells them the truth instead.]

Ah yes. Thank you for that clarification.
