Did anyone else love this episode? I saw it for the first time yesterday and now it is my all time favorite episode. I thought it was so hilarious when she kept throwing her book out the window lol

Sorry to be the Grinch here, but i don't like it at all, it's one of the early episodes where the characters are not well established yet. When she confronts Rick at the club, Ethel's fake yawn is too much! Even her hair was different from the Lucy we grew to love, it's by no means a BAD episode, it's just not one of my faves!

Mickey · 12-27-2002, 05:46 PM

It was the first episode they ever filmed wasn't it? In which case it's understandable if they're not quite in character yet, cut them some slack!

(I see where you're coming from of course. Later on there would never have been any suggestion of Fred coming upstairs to make sure that Ricky wasn't planning on murdering Lucy - they were supposed to be friends for goodness sakes!)

In the DVD notes it says that Ethel accidentally yawned as an instinctive reaction to Lucy yawning as well - so it probably wasn't fake. They do say that yawning is catching! (I think that's funny, but then I like it when things go wrong!)

I really like this episode, anyway. Yes it's illogical, and yes it's completely daft, but crucially it's also funny. And yes, Desi drinks the wrong drink, which for some reason seems to annoy lots of dedicated fans. To be honest I didn't even notice that until I saw it on the DVD!

It's pretty good, but not one of my favorites. The California episodes are my favorite.

I'm glad they are starting soon!

SPLAIN · 12-30-2002, 03:23 PM

Yeah, i never noticed the screw up with the drinks either until i kept reading about it!

I have a mixed feeling about this ep-sometimes when I watch it, I like it, and sometimes I don't like it. It's not in my top ten fav eps.
