For a poll, you do a post like you did this one.

Instead of submitting, though, scroll down through "Additional Options." At the bottom is "Do you want to include a poll?" Say yes, and the number of options you want to include.

Scroll down a little more, and submit the post. Then the system will let you enter the options.

I assume you meant I Married Joan or I Love Lucy not The Lucy Show?

I don't know how many Board visitors are familiar with I Married Joan , the series hasn't been in regular syndication since the early 60's. The series had a troubled history, Joan was difficult to work with and the two stars (Davis and Backus) did not get along. Backus hated working with her, informing the production company that he would not return for a 4th season prior to the show being cancelled.

I saw I Married Joan once. It was awful, worst show from that era I have ever seen.

the lucy show (not i love lucy) had many funny physical skits ..putting antenna on house roof......or getting pet bird off of wire high above house or ..trying to fina a very valuable penny under the sidewalk where workers were working below....viv and lucy go to bank get bag of pennies....and they drop all over floor..and lucy uses vacum cleaner and they get dents /chips on them and they take a cloth and clean each one because dust from vaccum has made them very dirty.....

the first i married joan episode was dull..but seen many,many more and they were funny.seems lucy show and joan (davis) show had very similar skits ..episodes (same writers ?) ,but joan show was funnier..good comic..mrs davis had been in radio and comedy movies,etc ...davis enterprises company .......the gal in soap tv show......that played a daughter ot the tates...had mother that was a famous comedy star in the early days,too.

A lot of the Lucy Show memorable physical comedy was in the first season. The TV antenna as you mentioned, and putting in the shower (which almost had dire real consequences for Lucy). I vaguely remember some funny incident with bunk beds...I really need to re-watch those first season episodes.
