Anyone want to play six degrees of Lucille Ball?

For example: Link Lucy to Martin Milner (don't ask who's that? or I'll smack ya!

)

Lucy was on Here's Lucy with Desi Jr.

Desi Jr. was in How to Pick up Girls with Richard Dawson.

Richard Dawson was on the The New Dick Van Dyke Show with Dick Van Dyke.

DVD was on Diagnosis Murder with Barry Van Dyke.

BVD was on Galactica 1980 with Kent McCord.

Kent was on Adam-12 with Martin Milner.

Easy huh? Now someone else do one.

P.S.

You CAN do it in less than 6 steps, but less than 3 is weak and more than 6 is too much.

LUCY to NANCY WALKER:

The STEPS-
1. LUCY was on "The Lucy Show" with guest star CAROL BURNETT

2. CAROL was on "The Carol Burnett Show" with cast member DICK VAN DYKE

3. DVD was in "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
with cast member MARY TYLER MOORE

4. MARY was on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" with cast friend VALERIE HARPER

Moving further on:
5. VALERIE was on "Rhoda" with cast member Nancy Walker (character Ida Morgonstern)

dawsongirl · 10-09-2001, 10:57 PM

Great! Let's get as many as we can.

mahlerfan · 10-12-2001, 05:21 PM

Lucy to Nancy Walker is one step: both were in Best Foot Forward.

dawsongirl · 10-12-2001, 09:12 PM

Oh that's right, I forgot. But it's a different way to do it.

dawsongirl · 10-12-2001, 09:56 PM

Okay, here's another. This one took longer than the other one, and I somehow got Richard in there again (hey, gotta stay true to the screen name you know!), but anyway, here goes.

Lucy to George Maharis
(I can hear it now; Who's George Maharis?)

Lucy was in Lured with George Sanders.

George Sanders was in The Picture of Dorian Gray with Donna Reed.

Donna Reed was on The Donna Reed Show with Bob Crane.

Bob Crane was on Hogan's Heroes with Richard Dawson.

Richard Dawson was on Masqurade Party with Bill Bixby.

Bill Bixby was in Rich Man, Poor Man with George Maharis.

Whew, that one was exhausting.

dawsongirl · 10-12-2001, 11:14 PM

There's another way to do that.

Lucy was in Fancy Pants with Bob Hope.

Bob Hope was in Road to Rio with Bing Crosby.

Bing Crosby was in High Society with Frank Sinatra.

Frank Sinatra was in Movin' with Nancy with Frank Sinatra Jr.

Frank Sinatra Jr. was in Adam-12 with Martin Milner.

Marty was in Route 66 with George Maharis.

Now that's just bad. I've been watching too much Route 66 lately.

Here's a surprisingly easy one:

Lucille Ball to Sylvester Stallone

Lucille Ball was in "Mame" with Bea Arthur
Bea Arthur was in "The Golden Girls" with Estelle Getty
Estelle Getty was in "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" with Sylvester Stallone

------------------
Lucy: "Ever since we said 'I do' there are so many things we don't."

Lucy : "That must be my dear friend Ethel. I'll open the door, Fred."
Fred : "Open it?! I was going to lock it!"

Lucy : "Gee, did you hear that, honey? It's going to be called "Bitter Grapes." I wonder what part they want me for."
Fred : "Oh, you're probably going to be one of the bunch."

LucyFan · 10-13-2001, 11:26 PM

Like I said before, there are more ways to do this. I even figured a couple more ways from Lucy to Penny.

dawsongirl · 10-14-2001, 02:28 AM

Hmm, I have no idea where this came from.

Lucy was in ILL episode #177 with Barbara Eden.

Barbara Eden was in 2 episodes of Route 66 with Martin Milner.

Marty was on Swiss Family Robinson with Helen Hunt.

Helen was on Mad About You with Paul Reiser.

Paul was on My Two Dads with Florence Stanley.

Florence was on Barney Miller with Hal Linden.

Thus linking Lucy to Hal Linden.
