According to his profile, he hasn’t visited this site for a month. I hope it’s just a break and he’s not leaving us or worse.

I recently watched a few first season episodes that I had not watched in a long time including "Lucy and the Ex Con" and "Lucy Goes on Strike." Now I remember why I have passed over these so many times. They are not ridiculously bad like "Lucy's Safari" or "Lucy and the Gold Rush," but they have very few good moments. I believe "Strike" was the only script from Mel Diamond and Al Schwartz. I suppose it was another one of those cheap, uninspired "off the market" scripts used

No holiday-themed banner this year. Very impish.

January 2021: MeTV drops I Love Lucy yet AGAIN!
RodMcK1 replied to Harrison's topic in The Danfield Tribune
I’m surprised “Hogan’s Heroes” is popular enough to merit two prime-time episodes five nights a week for what seems like ages. I watched as a kid, but I can’t stand it now. Same with “Gomer.” -
The Carol Burnett Appreciation Thread
RodMcK1 replied to Brock's topic in There Just Wasn't Enough ROOM For All of You!
As “The Best of The Carol Burnett Show: Season 2,” you can see Lucy’s 1970 appearance on Amazon. She’s in the cold open musical number, a sketch in which she and Carol are stage mothers competing to get their daughters an audition, and a parody of “Some Like it Hot.” -
I watched a handful of fourth season episodes yesterday including a favorite, "Kim Moves Out." I wanted to watch "Lucy's Replacement," but it's among the batch of episodes that no longer "free" on Amazon Prime. These episodes appear to be viewable for an additional fee. The fee episodes appear to be randomly selected.

LUCILLE BALL COMEDY HOUR
RodMcK1 replied to Lucyilove's topic in STOP THAT! NOW GO BACK AND SIT DOWN!
In some respects, "Lucy Moves to NBC" is a retread of this special. We have producer Lucille Ball and Gale seeking out a "star" for a television program and then see the show within the show. -
The Lucy Show - Season 4 - The Great REWRITE!
RodMcK1 replied to Brock's topic in STOP THAT! NOW GO BACK AND SIT DOWN!
This thread makes me realize that it was a shame that "Here's Lucy" did not have staff writers. For example, the character of "Craig" disappeared with even less explanatory dialogue than "Viv's" absence on "The Lucy Show." "Craig's" departure could have been an interesting story arc. Also the cheapness bothers me. "The Brady Bunch," which was far less popular than "Here's Lucy" during their network runs, could afford to shoot in Hawaii. But "Here's Lucy" went cheap and cancelled its plans to have part three of "Lucy Goes Hawaiian" shot on location even though CBS has production facilities for "Hawaii Five-0." -
Marlene Dietrich was at Bill Frawley's funeral?

The Carol Burnett Appreciation Thread

Fetv (channel 323 on direct tv) is airing hour long version of TCBS tonight. I don’t know if this will be a regular thing. -
Actually, it's a candid shot taken on Lucy's honeymoon night when she saw Gary completely au naturel for the first time.

I just re-watched "Part-Time Wife" and "Ma Barker" on Amazon. I stand by my opinion that "Part-Time Wife" is preposterous but funny. Yes, a stronger actress as "Gertie" would have improved the episode. As for "Ma Barker," there are a few chuckles in the middle when the "children" visit at the Carter abode. However, this episode remains a stinker, especially the last act. Pew. Lucy going undercover for the police was employed previously ("Lucy, the Gun Moll") and subsequently ("Dirty Gertie") to much better effect.

The edited versions of the "lost" episodes of "TCBS" (playing on MeTV) as well as the previously syndicated "Carol Burnett and Friends" shows are on Amazon now. I've watched many "Family" sketches, skipping much other material as it does not hold up nearly as well. -
Lucie to Appear on I Love Lucy-themed Will & Grace Episode!

They made Fred too fat. -
Alter Lucy titles to make new episodes!
RodMcK1 replied to chedderchester's topic in STOP THAT! NOW GO BACK AND SIT DOWN!
"Lucy Finally Cuts Guess Who's G-String." Lucy learns that Kim has been secretly working as an exotic dancer to offset her increased living expenses since moving into Uncle Herb's building. Planning to stop Kim, Lucy and Harry go undercover into the seedy club run by Dirty Jack. But upon seeing Harry, Dirty Jack instantly says "Hiya, Harry. You going to make it rain again tonight?" -
Linda Purl (1st Mrs. Desi Arnaz Jr.) Coming to Catalina!
RodMcK1 replied to JoeySoCal's topic in The Desilu Productions
What, no special appearance by Potsie? But seriously, I have enjoyed Purl in her recurring role as Pam's mother while recently streaming "The Office" on Netflix . -
Over the past weekend (on Amazon), I watched "County Club Dance," "Housewarming," and "Building a Bar-B-Que." It really made me wish we'd had gotten a seventh season of half-hour shows. I so enjoy the Lucy/Ethel/Betty dynamic. The Connecticut move certainly could have provided another season's worth of plots.

"Our Miss Brooks" on DVD
RodMcK1 replied to rickylu's topic in There Just Wasn't Enough ROOM For All of You!
I was undecided on buying these releases, but if they’re edited, syndication versions, it’s a “no” for me. -
That "Scary Lucy" statue should have been melted. That "artist" sure had some cojones to present the work as an image of Lucille Ball. Whoever paid should have rejected it and said "sue me."
