Fandemonium Weekend Marathon For "The Lucy Show"

[LucyFan]

Here's the scenario: TV Land decides to have a Fandemonium Weekend Marathon of The Lucy Show. There is one problem though: they don't know which episodes to select for the fandemonium. TV Land needs some help badly and so they ask fans what episodes would be good for the marathon. Say if they ask you, what would you say to them and which episodes would you select for the fandemonium.

Remember, the marathon lasts two days (48 hours) which means they need ninety-six episodes to fill those hours with. Please select ninety-six episodes.

I say, run all of season's 1, 4 & 6!! That way, there's be a nice variety and it's pretty evenly spread out among the 6 years...

I say show most of seasons 1-3, maybe 70 of the 84 episodes. Then pick the best 9 episodes from seasons 4-6. Of course then again, my bias is towards seasons 1-3, especially season 1.
