Mot Morenzi Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 One of the most memorable one-shot guest appearances on The Lucy Show has to be Iris Adrian's turn as "Hard-Head Hogan" in Lucy Meets the Law. Honorable mention also has to go to Jody Gilbert as the matron in that episode as well. I've often wished that Hard-Head had made more appearances down the line, but alas it was not to be. So, what if Lucy Carmichael had never been cleared as a jewelry thief and had to go on the run, forever thinking she was busted just for getting rid of some paper? She and Hard-Head (aka Iris Hogan) become partners, give Tinkerbell a bounce in the breadbasket, bird-it and begin... THE MISADVENTURES OF HARD-HEAD & KNUCK (1966) Starring Lucille Ball Co-Starring Iris Adrian 1.01 - Two Blew Out of the Cuckoo's Nest After Hard-Head shows off her bouncer skills to Lucy "Knuck" Carmichael, the two of them make a break for it, but soon have Lt. Finch and Tinkerbell hot on their heels. Fortunately the avoid recapture by donning Arabian-style getups and posing as two falafel cart workers. They then pinch Mr. Mooney's red convertible and head for the hills. 1.02 - Down and Low in Beverly Hills Iris and Lucy (aka Hard-Head and Knuck) run out of gas before they can get out of the city and must take cover behind the Hollywood sign to avoid detection. This becomes tricky once a frustrated Hard-Head starts taking out her anger by head-butting the letters until they fall over. Soon there's only the last D left, but Lucy manages to calm her down before she takes it out. But then Hard-Head makes the mistake of calling her "Cluck" again. "NOT CLUCK, IT'S KNUCK!" screams Lucy, punching the D, knocking it over and totally blowing their cover. 1.03 - Cabin in the Hood HH and Knuck find an abandoned cabin deep in the woods and take up shelter. After Knuck gets into an impressive battle with a bear that had taken up shelter in one of the bedrooms and HH finds a raccoon in the closet, they can safely call the place their own. By some miracle there's even running water and electricity. HH decides to celebrate by pinching some 45s from a record store and calling up some of her old bar chums to come to the house and have a party. Unfortunately, they make such a racket that some local hunters camping nearby come over to investigate. Things get really bad when one turns out to be Irma Mooney!

Neil Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 This is the series I've been waiting 45 years for!! Hoping it won't be long before Tinkerbell joins the cast on a weekly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreddieMertz Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'll give it a shot: 1.04 A Red Hairing HH and Knuck learn that Tinkerbell has been fired from the jail. They decide that since she's the only person who really knew what they look like- they can frame two people who look like them to be sent back to jail in their place! They pick out a young grocery store clerk (played by Rita Hayworth) to pose as Knuck, and a drag queen (Red Skelton in a dress) to pose as Hard Head. They anonymously call the cops and their scheme is succsesfull! Thinking that they're free, they go to a diner to celebrate-where little do they know, Tinkerbell is working as a waitress! The former matron doesn't recognize them until Lucy orders a cup of coffee! The chase is back on, this time with Tinkerbell on their tail as a freelance bounty hunter!
