Don Knotts on Here's Lucy Next Week - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LittleRickyII · 10-26-2014, 11:55 AM

This is an alert to those who get Cozi TV. The Here's Lucy episode scheduled for 4:30 on Thursday (Oct 3) guest stars Don Knotts. He plays a socially inept character named Ben who is set up on a blind date with Lucy. Ben is basically Mr. Furley with another name. There is one scene in particular to look out for (Cozi cuts out a lot so I'm hoping they don't cut this out): Ben explains the the rules for how males in his family are named. This is some very complicated, head-spinning dialogue. Don Knotts was apparently a very sharp cookie to be able to pull it off, and he does so masterfully. This episode first aired in 1973, six years before he became Mr. Furley.

So I watched this episode on Cozi the other day. The bit I mentioned in my initial post about "Ben" explaining how the males in his family were named, Cozi cut out literally half of it! This was one of the best parts of the episode and they destroyed it! Whoever they have editing these episodes does not know what they're doing. This isn't the first time I've seen them destroy a comedy bit due to their careless editing. Very disappointing.

I neglected to mention that Gino Conforti (Felipe) was on HL this week. He played a burglar trying to rob Lucy's house, and quickly regretting that he chose her house to rob!
