Desi. Or Ricky, one or the other.

SPLAIN · 11-01-2002, 11:44 AM

Why did i have a feeling you would say that? Put me down for Percy Livermore, the show would have been nothing without him Tippy Tippy Tin!

Are you saying I'm getting predictable?!

It was a toss up between him and half the members of his band, anyway. I always thought it was a shame they didn't give more screen time to the guy with the moustache who used to sit at the front and play bongos. He often used to be giggling in the background, especially when Lucy was messing about.

I think i've been wasting all my time watching Lucy while so many of you have noticed all these minuscule details i never noticed! Guy with a mustache? You mean the one where she has that beard stuck to her with that cement? Guess not! That's my problem, it took me years to realize there were other people on those shows!

~LadyJess~ · 11-01-2002, 04:34 PM

Vivian Vance for sure...she was a brillant actress who was a perfect sidekick for Lucy and I really think that after the show ended people didn't apperciate her as much because she wasn't with Lucy.

Which sucks because she was great at acting and could really take on all kinds of roles.

SPLAIN · 11-01-2002, 05:50 PM

Don't you think it was her mental problems that ended her career, i mean they tried to give her that pilot, but she just couldn't do it! You're right, such a great actress reduced to doing coffee commercials!

The guy with the moustache is usually in the scenes featuring the band, at least during the first season. He often sits next to Marco, either with bongos or a set of maracas. Watch "Men Are Messy". He's the one who throws the straw hats to Desi during the great Straw Hat Song. He has some lines in "Lucy Is Jealous Of Girl Singer", and you can see him quite plainly in "The Audition", giggling at Lucy's antics as Buffo the Clown. I don't actually know who he is - whether he was genuinely a member of Desi's band, or if he was a plant with some acting 'sperience, since he did have lines on occasion. Plays well, and the chemistry's there, so I'd imagine he's genuine. He's in "The 'Lost' Pilot" as well, now I come to think of it, so he must have been a part of the band.

Yep, just checked some sleeve notes (which I should have done first!) and his name is Pepin Betancourt, and he was a part of the orchestra. So there you go.

No one is as predictable as I am, right SPLAIN?

Anyway, to answer this question, I'd say Ricky. My favorite characters are 99% of the time men.

Mickey · 11-02-2002, 08:23 AM

Can't say that I blame you there. Even in this day and age, female characters are usually boring, underwritten and two-dimensional. It's hard to find a reason to like them more than the male ones.

And no, that wasn't a dig at anybody from ILL, obviously that's an exception!

Barnabas1 · 11-02-2002, 11:00 AM

Mrs. Trumball, Carolyn, Ricky, Lucy, Ethel...Fred and Betty Ramsey are OK, Little..................TOO MANY! I like all of them!

Ricardos4ever · 11-02-2002, 02:14 PM

Yeah, I like 'em all too. But Ricky rules!

SPLAIN · 11-04-2002, 11:14 AM

Well, he was the I in I Love Lucy! Did you guys forget that if the redhead had not been so stubborn, he never would have even goten the par? And the world would have been deprived of his many talents!
