Quote:

She made us laugh, she made us cry and she will always be known as one of the biggest Hollywood stars of the 1950s. To honor the legend that was Lucille Ball and to celebrate "I Love Lucy" Day on Oct. 15 – named for the show that premiered on this day in 1951 – we've compiled a list of some of the most interesting facts about the comedic actress' life. Read on to find out more about her friends, family and career.

What's your favorite "I Love Lucy" episode?

The one with William Holden is one of my favorites, Lucy catching her fake nose on fire always makes me laugh. Another favorite is when they hitch a ride to Florida to meet up with Ricky & Fred and they think the woman driving the car is an ax murderer.

My favorite is "Equal Rights." It's the one where Lucy and Ethel demand equal rights from Ricky and Fred and end up washing dirty dishes in a restaurant. I also love "Ricky's Old Girlfriend." which is about Lucy being jealous of a female dancer Ricky knew in Cuba. A very, young Jerry Mathers Plays as Lucy's son.

I have two favorites:

Home Movies - when Lucy accidentally records over Ricky's movie with her western act with Fred and Ethel plus her home movies of little Ricky.

The Diner - when the Ricardo's and the Mertzs' buy a diner calling it Big Hunk of America/Little Taste of Cuba.

Lucy and the Loving cup

When she thought she lost her ring in the BBQ in Connecticut

The chicken laying episode in Connecticut

Grape stomping in Italy

Driving to Florida with the Hatchet lady

Aunt Martha's salad dressing

Staying in that run down road house hotel in the Going to Hollywood trip

Little Ricky's Superman Birthday party

Lucy and Ethel go to charm school (Natalie Schafer, Mrs. Howell in this one)

The Freezer

I thought when The Ricardos were trying to break the lease. It had the scene with Fred and Ethel walking in to the Ricardos apartment with the chandlier around there neck.

The Connecticut ones were very good, especially the one with Barbara Eden. I like when Lucy mocks her by saying "My mother to me to pick youuu." Funny stuff.

That was funny!

And than the girls decided to spruce themselves up to get the guys attention off of Barbara Eden. Lucy wore that really tight dress and she couldn't even sit down. And Ethel had her hair fixed in a new style, and Fred said she looks like a slick French poodle or something like that!

The Freezer
The Séance
The Tennessee Ernie episodes
The John Wayne episodes

I also love all the Connecticut episodes!

HOLLYWOOD AT LAST. It was so funny, it made me want to set my nose on fire.

Bonniegirl · 12-04-2014, 01:00 AM

I just saw the ep in Italy the other day. " It's a my birthday too " ! When it was Little Ricky's birthday and all the local children said it was their birthday, and it really turned out that it was Teresa's birthday , a little local girl! And when they all sang Happy Birthday to Little Ricky over the phone! Such a cute heartwarming ep!

mets82 · 12-05-2014, 06:06 PM

I liked Job Switching but there is a great line in it.

Ricky: "What do you know about rice?"
Fred: "Well, it was thrown at me on one of the darkest days of my life."

LOL. I still laugh when I hear that line.

That's probably my all-time favorite line by Fred.

Another funny Fred Mertz quote ( insulting Ethel of course) !

The ep where Fred's friend Eddie who was a wholesale lingerie salesman comes to town. When Fred and Ricky find the girls at his hotel room.

Ricky says - Lucy!!!! You! Here! Dressed like that, you must be out of your mind!!!

And Fred says - Ethel!!! You! Here ! Dressed like that, HE must he out of HIS mind !!!!
