This was in relation to Lucy being competition to Laugh-In. One of the reviews I read for that special referred to it playing opposite "CBS juggernaut The Lucy Show." That's how I'll think of TLS from now on - the juggernaut. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luvsbway 2,272 Report post Posted June 13, 2019 I think this may be the oldest reference to I Love Lucy I've heard. 1952 episode of The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show. Mistakenly Gracie thinks George is going to kill himself. Harry Morton asks Gracie " I don't know why George would kill himself. Did he see the I Love Lucy show?"

Mot Morenzi 1,734 Report post Posted June 22, 2019 Not a sight but a sound - I just heard DeDe's "Uh-Oh" in the Woody Allen episode of Just Shoot Me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeySoCal 1,051 Report post Posted June 22, 2019 Frankly I've never been totally convinced that the "uh oh" lady was DeDe... could have been any old lady from back in the day since it's one of many laugh track "sounds" and "segments" that they dubbed onto the soundtrack over and over.

I know both Lucy and Desi have said years later in interviews they could hear DeDe in the audience. But they never said anything about her being the uh-oh lady. So I'm not convinced either. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mot Morenzi 1,734 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 Okay. Well, I definitely heard the "Uh-Oh" lady, whoever she may be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeySoCal 1,051 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 I'm sure you did! And over the years, I've heard Miss Uh-Oh on various other sitcoms, some as part of the laugh track (a la "Lucy" as it it's recorded, not "live" every time) for many shows, most which weren;t even filmed before an audience!

Brock 3,449 Report post Posted August 12, 2019 Home from Jamestown and watching something I recorded off TCM while away, the documentary Ava Gardner: The Gypsy of Hollywood, and Lucy and Gary just popped up in colour footage arriving at a Hollywood premiere. The doc tries to pass it off as the preme of There’s No Business like Showbusiness, but that’s obviously impossible. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will 61 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 I read on google books Conversations with Legendary TV Stars by James Bawden and Ron Miller for the Lucy interview. They pieced together conversation from several interviews. It sounds like Lucy and has new tidbits I didn't know. I don't like they quote Lucy saying she sold the studio in 1974. Also, the author said Aaron Spelling blamed Lucy for LWL's failing since she wanted executive control which I never heard elsewhere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luvsbway 2,272 Report post Posted September 14, 2019 Watched the film The Bigamist, a 1953 film starring and directed by Ida Lupino. The 2 stars go on a bus tour of famous Hollywood homes. As they drive down Roxbury the driver points out Jimmy Stewart's house then Jack Benny's house and it shows both their actual homes. Given the year, Lucy had not moved in between yet. The scene reminded me so much of The Tour episode. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Criterion Channel currently has that movie featured in a collection of Lupino's works- would you recommend it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
