Ricky's full name? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

somethingofafan · 10-31-2002, 03:49 PM

I keep reading that the character's name is Enrique Alberto Ricardo y de Acha III, but for some reason I remember it (from one of the Hollywood episodes, perhaps?) as Ricardo Alberto Fernando Ricardo y Acha? In which episodes is each of these found, or was I dreaming?

Enrique, really? Dun't remember ever seing that, are you sure you weren't watching an Igleseas special instead?

I don't remember actually seeing "Enrique" on an episode either, but I've read it in several places.

His full name is Enrique Alberto Ricardo y de Acha III, which is kind of Desi's name played about with. I'm not sure if it was ever said on the show, but all the behind the scenes info mentions it. Didn't they have to find their birth certificates once? Maybe it was mentioned then. I think he was listed as Mickey Bacardi on the wedding licence though, wasn't he?!

Well if our Ricky/Desi expert says it is so, then i guess it is!

The name Enrique Alberto Ricardo y de Acha III was in the episode Lucy Raises Tulips. Lucy used that as Ricky's full name when she was yelling at him to go cut the grass.

The name Ricardo Alberto Fernando Ricardo y Acha was in the episode Hollywood Anniversary when Ricky was calling to get a copy of their marriage license so he could see the date.

Well, thank you, that settles that! No wonder i thought it was the one from the Anniversary shows, i watch that one all the time, the tulips i rarely watch!

Well there's another one to put in the flub files.

Yeah, that mistake has always bothered me. You'd think that the writers would remember something as important as the full name of a main character!

I agree, but they had no idea the show would last over 50 years, so they didn't worry about continuity! THEY DIDN'T EVEN THINK IT WOULD LAST A YEAR!
