Note: Behold THE classic episode of the series. By far, the funniest episode in the history of TV perhaps. Even non-fans will enjoy it. I know I do. I remember getting my first I Love Lucy tape in 1995 that had this episode attached to “Lucy’s Italian Movie.” I got that episode based on the image that I thought was Lucy in a vat of liquid fully clothed. I like wetlook. What can I say? I was disappointed with what I saw in that episode. According to Wikipedia. on the April 9, 2020 episode of Will & Grace, Debra Messing as Lucy, Matt Cook as the director and Brian Michael Jones as Joe, re-enacted the commercial scene. Also according to Wikipedia, in 1997, TV Guide ranked this episode #2 on its list of the 100 Greatest Episodes. In 2009, it moved to #4.
