C L A U D E Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iGKvVNBDNI How great it was to see that one again, probably her second best Merv interview after the Mame one, i watched the whole thin, better than Modern Family AND the Joy Behar Show put together. TV was so much better back then and talk shows especially. Thanks for putting that up Harry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikidiki Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yeah, saw this recently, it's a great interview. The only thing I don't like about it though is Lucy's hair, it's 2 short and makes her look old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikidiki Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 She WAS old,she died eight years later. True, but some hairstyles can make someone look older than what they are. I always preferred Lucy with longer wigs, not the artichoke styled ones ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've searched and cannot find reference to it. I found the 1974 (2) appearances; but, not the 1981. I want to add the proper date to my chronology - thanks.....Joyce K.

I always preferred Lucy with longer wigs, not the artichoke styled ones ;-) Agreed, as evidenced by the Dean Martin appearance longer wig, BUT, at least she never resorted to the extremely longer look of a Mae West or even Ginger Rogers or the white haired Jane Wyman.

Aw come on, the other ten episodes that were named by the audience were THEIRS so who cares, nobody but an expert like you knows that the Dean Martin one was written by Bobby O'brien, i certainly didn't or cared.

C L A U D E Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well...you asked me!! I know, i was just defending Lucy's choice. The Dean Martin one is great for seeing the two of them together and it's warm and real and fun and all but no fan would consider it her best work or put it in her TOP TEN comedy wise, i loved it because of her hair, her youthful appearance, the classic way she seemed genuinely thrilled to work with Dean, that always came across in her work and it was also my mom's favorite Lucy show. Hey, if I'd been in that audience, as bad as my memory is, i think i'd remember every friggin detakil of the visit there. But you're right of course, when i saw The Dick Cavett show, with Maureen O'Sullivan as guest, i do not remember anything at all about that unmemorable show. I remember a dinky small theater and Maureen being lovely but so far away, i was in the balcony and Dick was so cerebral, there were few laughs. If i had been in your shoes, i would have done better than Brock with Betty on the phone or most of YOUR audience and yelled out something i'm sure, as that is a once in a lifetime experience. I would have gone from shy young man to avid rabbid stalker in sixty seconds or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivfantoo* Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Joey, it is so cool that you saw Lucy IN PERSON. Was that the only time you ever saw her? Claude,I have not seen the Mame/Merv interview yet. And please don't ban me from the lounge for what I am about to write : I have never seen Mame! (bobbing & weaving with a trash can lid under my robe here as I try to explain this omission !) I watched ILL growing up, but never saw any of the other series until The Lucy Show came out on DVD. A few years ago I bought The Long, Long Trailer, & then Forever Darling. It was around this time that I started searching for Lucy info online when I had time. Since then, I've only seen 2 of her other movies & part of a third. So many books & movies of hers to read/watch, so little time! Someone here mentioned a Lucille Ball DVD set with 5 movies. I added it to my Christmas list , and Mame is in the set! Hopefully my good intentions to see as many Lucy movies as possible before I die redeems my continued membership here!

Hey, you're young, there's all the time in the world to see her best material. Type in Lucille Ball videos in search and wehen you get there, there's loads to see, for free, including the Merv/Mame interview in ten parts or so. MAME is a big overblown musical, so it's not for everybody, i used to hate musicals myself but she never looked better on film and the music is to die for, her wardrobe alone is a reason to watch that one. While you view her viodeos on the net, check out the Dick Cavett interview also, it's the second best one after the Merv/Mame one, and the Phil Donahue one is a close third, she was always so honest and no nonsense in interviews, LOL!

vivfantoo* Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks for the great search tips, Claude(I keep wanting to call you Claudie ). I will definitely look for the Cavett & Donahue interviews. I saved the info in your post & added it to other Lucy search tips you gave me last month, along with Harry Carters' tip about the Paley Center interviews. I think I might like Mame. Lucy rarely disappoints,& I love music, beautiful clothes & costumes. I have read criticism over the years that she was too old for the part but I don't know the plot so will have to see for myself.
