Highest rated episode? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We know the highest rated episodes of her other series...

I Love Lucy: "Lucy Goes to the Hospital"
The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show: "The Celebrity Next Door"
Here's Lucy: "Lucy Meets the Burtons"
Life With Lucy: "Mother of the Bride" (I think!?)

Anyone know what the highest rated ep of TLS is? Since the Andy Griffith episode "Barney Hosts a Summit Meeting" was one of the highest rated half-hours ever, do you think the episode that directly preceded that the same night, "Lucy and the Stolen Stole", could have been the highest? If not, it was most likely an earlier 6th season ep when this show was on top...any thoughts?

Mother of the Bride was the lowest rated Lucy episode ever. The highest Life with Lucy was the premiere One Good Grandparent Deserves Another. The highest Lucy Show episode was Lucy Waits for Chris, followed by Lucy Gets Involved and Lucy and the Pool Hustler.

I wouldn't be surprised if the highest-rated The Lucy Show episode was one of these: "Lucy Puts Up A TV Antenna", "Lucy & Viv Install A Shower", "Lucy Meets the Berles", or "Lucy Gets Jack Benny's Account".

Hmmm...who's right?

ARealLucyFan - is that reliable info?

LucyFan...Lucy Puts Up a TV Antenna? Why would it have been?

Because it's an all time classic, i guess. It's a shame the ratings aren't available like they are for I Love Lucy in the I Love Lucy book, you know the rating for each episode written next to the title, that was fun.

I'm positive. It was in Star Notes magazine.

Well, Tom must be right, he knows everything!

So the highest rated eps go like this...

1. "Lucy Waits Up for Chris"
2. "Lucy Gets Involved"
3. "Lucy and the Pool Hustler"

Correct? I would be interested to see just where this info was obtained. Not that I don't believe you, just that it would be nice to see the magazine it came from...
