Remember the one where Lucy and Shelley Winters went to a fat farm? Shelley needed to go to the fat farm, but why did Lucy go? She was in good shape. I guess it made for a hilarious predicament.

I think you're wrong, on The Lucy show Lucy and The Countess, played by Ann Sothern went to a fat farm, but on Here's Lucy, Lucy was hired to help Shelley Winters lose some weight for a part in a film or something and at the end Shelley did lose the weight but Lucy had packed on the pounds, great episode!

Yes, SPLAIN is right...Lucy went to the fat farm with Ann Sothern (the Countess) in TLS's 3rd season, and "coached" Shelley Winters in losing weight in the 1st season of HL. But, don't feel bad - many people mistake the Winter's episode as one of TLS...
