I Love Lucy and Reba

[Timoth26]

Hey, I'm currently watching the Reba DVDs and got to wondering. Has anybody noticed some similarities in some of the episodes from stuff that happen in the I Love Lucy episodes?

For instence the episode "The Wall" in season 2 Reba is worried that Elizabeth won't be able to sleep without her blanket because she was staying over at Van's parents for the night. So, Reba and Barbara Jean try to climb a wall to return it to her.

I think Lucy and Ethel did the same thing in the I Love Lucy episode "The Tour" when Lucy was trying to get a grape fruit off somones tree (Can't think of his name). So, she to climbs over the wall like Reba but, Lucy falls over the other side and gets stuck.

Also, in a couple first season episodes I notice Reba and Cheyanne do the spider face thing that Lucy used to do. I can't think of what episodes they where but, it sounded similer. Also, a few times I think Reba did some of the crying things that Lucy used to do. It wasn't a full out waaa but, Reba did do her share of crying on the show and I think Chayanne did to in one episode.

Did they use I Love Lucy to get ideas for storylines or scenes in the show? I know Lucille Ball and Reba are both redheads. Did anybody else ever notice anymore similarities between Reba and I Love Lucy? Please let me know. Thanks.
