makewayforducklings Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 What do you think was the absolute worst episode. Even a legend like Ms Ball can do a few stinkers. I really dislike Drafted from I Love Lucy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 "Lucy is a Sax Symbol," my least favorite episode of "Life With Lucy." It would be easier for me to name the best one of Life with Lucy as I have only ONE, the Wedding one with Audrey Meadows, all the other ones stunk but had some moments here and there, this one was just perfect.

Will Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 The wedding one is my only favorite too of Life With Lucy. Finally a great script and comedy and drama in a great half an hour. I also liked Breaking Up is Hard to Do. The other 4 Life With Lucy I saw were the first, Ritter, Grandma and Lucy's Green Thumb. All but the last were cute. Lucy's Green Thumb is my least favorite ever. I cannot stand how fake it is and a lady naming and talking about your plants isn't funny but sad. Of the other three my least favorite is so far Lucy and Phil Harris. PHil sang great but Lucy is like a supporting character and doesn't add much to the show. I like it when the guest and her have fun but not when it is the Phil Harris Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked Phil Harris, but you're right, it was called Here's Lucy and The Lucy show, not Here's Phil or The Phil show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucille Ball fan Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 One episode of Here's Lucy that seems dull is the one where Kim moves into her new apartment. Lucy and Gale are in the employment office for a short time and then the rest of the episode features Kim in her new apartment. Not enough of Lucy in that episode.

Luvsbway Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 That episode was a pilot for Lucie to have her own show so that's why there is so little of Lucy and Harry. My worst 2 are Amatuer Hour and The Rodeo for ILL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooney Is A Monkey (The Lucy Show) 6. Lucy The Rain Goddess (The Lucy Show) 7. Lucy In The Jungle (Here's Lucy) 8. Lucy's African Safari (Here's Lucy) 9.

Lucille Ball fan Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 When Lucy broke her leg the writers did give Lucie and Gale bigger roles in the shows until Lucy's leg got better. I have always thought that Gale worked so well with Lucy. Gale was such a great actor. He added so much good energy to The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy.

Annaleigh Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Lucy the Rain Goddess wins as the worst for me. ILL: I do not dislike one episode. But as for the worst I will always agree with Drafted and Rodeo. TLS: ^ HL: Lucy and Ma Parker LWL: John Ritter and Sax Symbol. Those two completely lose my interest if I watch it.

Lucille Ball fan Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 The classic episode of The Lucy Show where Lucy goes golfing with her new boyfriend Gary. A true gem not to be missed!!

I dun't thin that was the one I was watching as mine was about Ernie Ford having money that Lucy wants as a new account at the bank, sorry! But it was also a very bad one, shame too as Ernie provided I Love Lucy with TWO of it's all time best episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Worst LS: Some of these episodes are so bad I don’t even remember the actual titles. Lucy the Superwoman. So completely implausible of a premise. Didn't she actually fly in this one. I have blocked it out of my mind. The one with Major Fun Fun. Nice to see the Jay and Gale reunion but I really hated the whole robot thing. Was there a trend on other comedy shows at the time to do these completely not believable plots of robots, humans with super powers, etc.? Mooney the Monkey- As we all hate the fake animal ones. Lucy the Starmaker- Way too much Frankie Avalon Lucy and the Soap Opera- I just can’t get past the bad Chinese impersonation. What is it with Asians getting the raw deal on her shows? Was this the last accepted race you could get away with making fun of? Lucy the Babysitter-At least we have real monkeys but I’m not a fan of watching Lucy get increasingly frustrated with the chimps. It’s not funny to watch just painful. I would watch the outtakes of that all day though. Worst HL: Lucy and the Airport Chase- I’ll give them that on location for the first time was a god idea, I’m just not a fan of the whole premise. The second half is just too much running and chasing to keep me interested. Lucy the Laundress- yet again with the bad Chinese stereotypes. Lucy and Ma Parker-for the reasons that others have listed. Carole is the only redeeming thing in this episode. How dumb do you have to be to realize they are not kids. Lucy and Petula Clark- Lucy was just plan annoying this one. It’s similar to the LS John Wayne one, but her intrusions aren't as annoying there. Here she is just pushy and not fun. Worst LWL: Oh to pick the worst of the worst series. I’ll go with the first one as everyone was over the top with their acting, the audience is just wild, and the timing is just not there. The gags old and forced and since it’s the first the timing seems off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
