I personally like watching television in color alot better than black and white. But as far as the episodes, the black and white ones(the 1st season) are the best of the series. These had really strong scripts, thanks to Desi who was Ex. Producer the 1st season. When Desi left after the 1st season and the show went into color for season 2 the episodes and scripts weren't as strong especially beginning in season 4, the first season without Vivian.

I like them both the same. The black and white episodes provided us the character of Vivian Bagley while the color episodes provided us with Mr. Mooney. Both Vivian and Mr. Mooney were great characters and without them the show would have never lasted as long as it did.

The ones in black and white might have had better scripts, but the joy of seing her in color for the first time outweighed everything! This is the best Lucy ever looked in her life!
