Neil Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 "Hollywood Anniversary"---so many moments in this one, but I think my favorite is how her face changes momentarily when Ricky's telling the audience why he's singing....She's mad but does a brief "WTF?" look when he says "I hope this'll does it". "Chris's New Years Eve Party"--that little look of happiness and pride as Jerry poises himself to ask her to dance. (This moment was mentioned specifically in the TV Guide review of "the Lucy Show" in which the critic makes this odd statement: "I remember denouncing I Love Lucy as the worst program of the year because it display only ONE-FIFTH (caps are mine) of Miss Ball's talents. More of them are visible on The Lucy Show". He refers to NYEve as "the best of the lot so far". I'm guessing he didn't see that many.)

C L A U D E Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 How about in Lucy tells the truth, after the knives have been thrown at her . . . she`s hugging Ricky and then remembers what just happened and quickly changes it to WHAT THE HELL, DON`T YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE and then again switches back to lovey dovey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikidiki Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Did you ever while growing up? Always wondered how Gary influenced Lucy in that department.

upperco Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 When Fred calls Lucy "Little Orphan Annie" in "Lucy Wants New Furniture" When Ethel crows in "Tennessee Ernie Hangs On" When Ethel is trying to distract Ricky in "The Star Upstairs" When Lucy is trying to be seductive in "The Great Train Robbery" When Lucy pretends to read the paper in "Lucy And The Loving Cup" When Tallulah croaks, "P-T-what??" in "The Celebrity Next Door" When Vivian tries to use the ladder as a seesaw in "Lucy Puts Up A TV Antenna" When Vivian wakes up in "The Loophole In The Lease" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperco Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Another one: Ethel's reluctance to give up the money in "Ricky's European Booking." ("Is he going with us?") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, one of my faves, and the one where she puts up the TV antenna, has made a hole in the roof and looks in and says, SHOULD HAVE MADE MY BED THIS MORNING. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but my favorite with a car has to be the one where the jack is coming through the hood as they have no idea how to change a tire and then put the old BAD tire back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Lucy's Punctured Romance -- I love the little shrug Gale gives after he deadpans: "There's nothing confusing about it -- Lucy's simply a deaf alcoholic who has been married six times." As if to say, what's the big deal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperco Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 One thing I adored was the continuity in, I believe it was, "Country Club Dance," when Ethel says something like, "Fred hasn't been so nice to me since he thought my aunt died and left me a fortune." Which, of course, is an allusion to "Lucy Goes To Monte Carlo." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I just watched this Here's Lucy episode last night, "Lucy and The Chinese Curse." I just love the way Lucy slaps Gale in the face when she's dangling from that chandelier and mouthing, "Put me down, put me down!" It almost looks like she really slapped him hard.

Luvsbway Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think Lucy was always committed to those slaps. The wallop she gives Ricky in Lucy and the Dummy was pretty hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think Lucy was always committed to those slaps. The wallop she gives Ricky in Lucy and the Dummy was pretty hard. How about when Viv hits HER in the one about the guys wearing their old raggety clothes and the girls do the same and are photographed? Looks like Viv's trying to get rid of a lot of hostility in that scene, hitting Lucy very hard with her hat, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Oh, gotta check that out. How about the outake from the Jane Meadows HL when she hits Desi Jr. after he messes up for the second time. There seemed to be a lot pissing her off thetr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
