How many years have you been a fan of "The Lucy Show". Has it been that long or short?

LucyFan · 01-20-2002, 01:56 AM

I have been a fan of "The Lucy Show" for about 2 - 3 years and I am still loving it to pieces. I can never get enough of this amazing show at times. It is just so good.

BUMP! (I just wanted other fans of The Lucy Show to have the option to share their story.)

I love lucy and all her shows ....... It's the best

SPLAIN · 09-24-2002, 10:01 AM

I was 12 in 1962 when it premiered, so that's forty years for me. Even though i wasn't watching it all those years i remembered most episodes, just got the first 50 copied for me and i had forgotten how great they all were, can't wait for the other 100! When will they realize that Lucy fans want all her shows, not just ILL.

My mother has been a fan for over 20 years. I have been a fan for about 12 years. The Lucy Show is her and mines favorite Lucy series out of the 5.

The only episode (or at least part of an episode) that I saw was the one where Lucy and Vivian install a shower and the shower door gets stuck and the shower is overflowing. I assumed it was I Love Lucy because that was a very popular show at the time. Everybody says that episode is a classic.

SPLAIN · 09-26-2002, 03:53 PM

In my opinion The Lucy show has almost as many classic episodes as the great ILL. Lucy and viv install a shower being the Vitameatavegimin of the series, then there's the one where they install a TV antenna, the one where she walks on stilts to get into the top bunk of a bunk bed, the one where she uses a trampoline to get back into her room, the one where she conducts an orchestra, gets locked in a vault with Mr Mooney, teaches Ethel Merman to sing, manages to run the Volunteer fire dept, plans kiddie parties, and 150 others!

I agree with you Splain. The Lucy Show was almost up there with ILL, especially the first three years. And Here's Lucy was right up there too. Now if we can talk TVLand into showing the two shows. You know Splain, we agree with alot about Lucy.

SPLAIN · 09-30-2002, 11:37 AM

Well, it's always nice when there's agreement between fans. It's funny at the time they said it was not as good as ILL, then they said Here's Lucy wasn't as good as The Lucy show, now YEARS later we realize that anything with Lucy was great, especially when you compare it to the garbage that passes for TV entertainment today! I love Raymond and Friends, but if The Lucy show or Here's Lucy were on opposite them, guess what i'd watch! Bu then again, i am a little biased!

I agree 100 percent as well. The Lucy Show had some really good episodes in later three seasons especially the fifth season. Who could forget the moment where Lucy joins the marines, or the time she thought Mr. Mooney was a monkey, or the time when she gets that crazy roommate Carol Bradsford, or the time where she gets Mr. Mooney's wife's ring stuck on her finger, or the time she sells beans to make profit, the list goes on.

I forgot those, thanks for reminding me of them all. I got my first fifty last month copied by a fellow fanatic, and i'm ordering the last 100 this week. You see you like the last three years and the other fan prefers the first three, i take the chicken's way out, i LOVE all six. It is so great to see her in COLOR, she looked better at this time than any other time in her life, i know many of you won't agree, but that LUCY LOOK came about on these shows, and i was mesmorized when i started watching them, not having seen them in like 20 years. I remembered some of the plots, and i have a good memory, but lots of it i had forgotten, these are excellent shows regardless of who's producing, and if the writing is not always top notch. I had seen the ones that came out n video, but they certainly weren't classics, yes the ones with Carol are priceless, any show with those two is. But the quality of the videos was ssssssssoooooooooo bad, not that my copies aren't bad too, but you don't care, cause it's a different Lucy from the one we know by heart. When are programmers going to realize if you can get the complete first season of Mary Tyler Moore, or Oz or any other show today, why is so hard to get these, are they asking for too much money or what, we want them and we want them now!

Yeah, tell me about it! I think I was somewhere around five years old, when I first saw Lucy in THE LUCY SHOW – I believe it was the episode where she dresses like a toy soldier, the number she has to babysit the bratty boy. I remember thinking wow… I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life!

I would say I became a Real fan, when Season 1 was released on DVD.
