Freddie2 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 We could take this even farther and say that the later incarnations of Lucy shows are just Lucy Ricardo having to move and change her identity again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 That's hysterical. The author clearly had fun with that. I laughed out loud several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeySanJoaquin Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Well that was a fun read -- with some not that implausible theories! -- despite some inaccuracies, so gotta give it to the author for their creativity and interesting ....slants on plots and such.

Neil Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 We could take this even farther and say that the later incarnations of Lucy shows are just Lucy Ricardo having to move and change her identity again. When Mary Jane Lewis, old friend of Lucy Carmichael's, showed up in Lucy Carter's life, potentially blowing her witness-protection cover, they had to think quick and perform a lobotomy. This would explained why Mary Jane got daffier as the years rolled on. With each season she just got loonier and loonier culminating in her "I have a inner glow" recitation in "MJ's Boyfriend". Speaking of MJ, MeTV is running Our Miss Brooks and in an episode shown out of order from late in the 2nd season, she appears as Daisy Enright, Connie's rival for Mr. Boyton's attention. She's much more sophisticated: somewhere between Cynthia Harcourt and Betty Ramsey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I easily forget it's the same actress who was so daffy on Lucy's later shows. Mary Jane made far more appearances on the radio version than the television version, I believe. I haven't seen much of the tv show but IMDb credits her for only four episodes. Is that accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Boyfriend" had to be MJL's finest hour, at least "Lucy"-related; haven't seen OMB in years and don't have any "stashed" (ahem) to refer to without further internet digging, but I may... but reading these recent posts just reminds me how WUNDAFUL and perhaps underappreciated her contributions were to the Lucy canon... do we know if she was ever even nominated for anything, be it Emmy, Golden Globe or any other award?? Well one thing's for sure and heartening and that's that Lucy herself MUST have seen MJ's gifts or she NEVER would have lasted as a co-star/guest performer over three decades.

My MFH knowledge is slim at best, did she ever appear on that? If not then was her appearance on ILL the first time she and Lucy worked together?? And aren't we thankful, whenever the first time was, that they "clicked"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Mary Jane appeared in one episode, "Liz's Radio Script," as Margaret Baldwin, an old college friend of George's who judged the radio play contest Liz entered. This was the first time she and Lucy had worked together. Mary Jane herself didn't recall this when interviewed for "The Lucy Book" and had to be reminded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
