This is a no brainer in my opinion, "Lucy, The Fixer" is better and a true classic!!

After remembering the first one i thought i could NEVER pick the second one, but i changed my mind, Oldshows is right, it's a CLASSIC! The fixer that is!

This is one is a toughie. I laughed so hard at both episodes and I thought both of them were equally funny. um . . . my votes goes to "Lucy, the Conclusion Jumper", episode #4.

I'm with Oldshows on this. This is a no-brainer. "Lucy, the Fixer" is up there with "Lucy Meets the Burtons" and "Lucy Fights the System" as the best episodes of the series. "Lucy, the Conclusion Jumpers" doesn't even come close. That scene with Harry and that man ripping one another's clothes is rather silly. But "Fixer" has one of my all-time favorite scenes. I rarely laugh as hard as I have watching this episode.

I'll be the third to say it. Complete and total no-brainer. "Lucy the Fixer" is a classic. The physical comedy in this ep ranks right up there with the classic bits from the early years of "I Love Lucy" and "The Lucy Show". Explosions, falling chandeliers, Lucy bursting through a wall because she was scared by a kitten? This is one top-notch episode. Could arguably even be the best in the first season...

I LOVE that scene. I think it's hysterical.

Having said that, I do prefer "Lucy The Fixer"....BRILLIANT and HILARIOUS!!!
