The I Love Lucy Thread

[Retrocool]

Here's the thread where we can enjoy clips from the show and reminisce about our favorite episodes and scenes.

Here's two scenes from the famous episode "Job Switching" where Lucy and Ethel get jobs while Fred and Ricky stay at home and play housewife.

I Love Lucy has always been one of my favorite TV shows. I've never grown tired of watching it, ever. I have certain episodes positively embedded into my brain, and I love seeing and hearing the reactions and laughter of people who've never seen a particular episode before.

"Me, too" to all of the above

I once dated a girl primarily because she also had all of the Lucy episodes commited to memory and we used to recite the shows together. When it was on TV, we would compete to see who could identify the episode first. She also knew the words to all the old Nick at Nite songs, like the one that put words to the Dick Van Dyke Show theme.

(Unfortunately, she turned out to be a controlling semi-psycho, but the Lucy/Nick at Nite moments were still fun )

Re: The I Love Lucy Thread

I go back to having seen these first run back in the 50's. Then growing up it was my routine to watch the reruns. During the 60's on summer vacation I would exercise to Jack LaLanne and then watch I Love Lucy. I like the fact that young people today find this show to be among their favorites.

What is so neat about these shows is that they are still fresh all these years later. I like the fact that for the most part Desi Arnaz seldom filmed anything that was relevant or topical to what was going on at the time. That way they are still timeless today. I also salute him for coming up with the 3 camera technique still used today and for putting these shows on film. He was a forward thinking man who did not get the credit he deserved for what he did.

Re: The I Love Lucy Thread

I Love Lucy is my all-time favorite TV show. Has been ever since I was a kid. My favorite episodes are "Lucy Does a Commercial" and "Home Movies". I only have seasons 1 & 3 on DVD (need to get the others someday but they're expensive). I love how this show is absolutely timeless. I can watch an episode once or 100 times and still find it just as funny. I'm glad TV Land is showing episodes again (they didn't for a long time). Last week they had a "Best of Lucy" marathon every night from 8-11pm.

Last fall my folks visited Lucy's hometown in New York and visited the museum there. My mom said I would have absolutely loved it as they had sets from the show, costumes and all sorts of goodies on display. I've visited the mini Lucy tribute museum at Universal Orlando several times. It's always a must-see for me when I'm there.

My name is PrincessY and I am an I-Love-Lucy-aholic. I'm watching it right now - Lucy is Enciente. That episode chokes me up every time when Ricky finally finds out.

I have every episode on VCR tape, bought through Columbia House. But now I want them all on DVD.

I'll choose this show over most any new show out there. Dick Van Dyke is a very close second fav.

I am also a fan of the I Love Lucy show. My husband 'borrowed' the logo for his first tattoo.

Re: The I Love Lucy Thread

My favorite episode is "Lucy is Enceinte" where she finds out she is pregnant and tells Ricky at the club. I love the looks on both of their faces!!

Re: The I Love Lucy Thread

Thank you for making this thread!!! Im a huge Lucy fan myself...have all the seasons on DVD. So far most of my favorite episodes are on here. I remember when and where I was when she died. She is the only celebrity I have ever shed a tear for.

This is another favorite....Everytime this episode is on...my best friend or I, whoever is watching will call the other to let her know. It cracks me up everytime.

Oh and anything with Cousin Ernie!!! It just never gets old

Re: The I Love Lucy Thread

I also like this show. It's true that it's so timeless. Many of the shows now wouldn't be able to last that long. A couple of my favorite episodes are "Pioneer Women" and "Job Switching." I also like the episodes in Europe.

Re: The I Love Lucy Thread

I am currently reading a book called "Life After Lucy" - it's the autobiography of Keith Thibodeaux - who played the 'talking' little Ricky in season 5 through 9 (seasons 7-9 called The Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz Show)

Thanks for this thread. I love I Love Lucy.

I would love to see Lucy's hometown. How far is it from NYC? Hopefully whenever I get to visit NYC, I would love to go there too. Every time I've gone to Universal Studios here in CA I have always went to the little mini-museum they have here too. I think besides the Tram Tour, it's the best thing to see at USH.

My name is PrincessY and I am an I-Love-Lucy-aholic. I'm watching it right now - Lucy is Enciente. That episode chokes me up every time when Ricky finally finds out.

OMG, I'm a Lucy-aholic too! :blush:

My favorite episode is "Lucy is Enceinte" where she finds out she is pregnant and tells Ricky at the club. I love the looks on both of their faces!!

That's one of my favorites! They just aired that the other day. It really gets me choked up at the end. I once watched a special, I think it was the E! True Hollywood Story or maybe from the Biography channel and they mentioned that this specific episode was really emotional to do because they had been trying so hard to have children for so long so it was true and pure emotions that Lucy and Desi had at the end after he sings "We're Having A Baby, My Baby and Me".

There are two books (scrap books) that I would love to get one day. I saw the one of Lucy & Desi earlier this year from my boss' wife. It was very cool. Had a bunch of little duplicates of letters, telegrams, programs, announcements, etc. of things that belonged to the couple from when they were first children until they died.

Here's a link of it on Amazon.

But I know my favorite episodes are Lucy Does a Commercial, Lucy Does the Tango, Lucy is Enciente, and Lucy Goes to the Hospital. But there are so many that I love watching.
