chedderchester Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 TBH I like the latter half of season 1 the best. There's some good 1962 eps, not wild about the first batch. Back to HL--after watching Lucy Runs the Rapids, I hope I can go to the Colorado River some day and go white water rafting. Can anyone pinpoint the exact location of where the 2nd half was? The first half was in Lee's Ferry which does exist. That road trip looked kind of fun. I can just picture the Carter kids--"remember how we went on that road trip through Colorado and Arizona and Utah in the summer of 1969?" Well, the ARNAZ kids can certainly say the same thing. I hope they got to San Fran. The closest I've been to the river is when I was in Austin 7 years ago--like, EXACTLY 7 years ago. we flew there on November 15th 2007 for my cousin's wedding and the bride's family's house was maybe walking distance from the river. On Google Maps it looked pretty close but it may have been farther than it looks. We could've gone there but we didn't have time. I could've seen the Alamo too! And the interior of the RV looked soooooo ugly but it was 1969! What do you guys think of the 4 part road trip? Indian Chief isn't exactly my favorite but it has it's moments, like when Uncle Harry "marries" Pocahontas. Does it take place in the summer? It was taped in May-June. Surprised for June, the waters of the river were still freezing. I thought Arizona was super hot. I would've been a nervous wreck if I was a crew member shooting the rapids scenes. All those cameras and lights and crew members on a single raft in the middle of the river. . . they had to be securely mounted on. I heard that when The Bradys went to Kings Island, on the roller coaster, they were freaking out that the camera would fly off and hit them in the head. Um, OW! I also noticed that at one point in PT1 of the Airforce episode, when Lucy looks out the window at the cadets throwing the professor into the reflecting pond, it's snowing! Then it shows the cadets and it's sunny. How did they think nobody would notice? lol. They were lucky that it wasn't snowing for the whole time they were there. Funnily enough, in the Brady Bunch Kings Island episode, there's a couple scenes of the park where it's clearly raining out and then in the next shots it's a beautiful day.

Luvsbway Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I think it was on the commentary to the Air Force Academy episodes (The Shout Factory set) they talk about how do to the elevation of the Academy the weather would change so quickly. On their schedule to get these in the can they didn't have time to wait for the weather to cooperate for shot continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chedderchester Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Yeah I remember hearing about the weather in the commentary and in some behind the scenes featurette. glad they were able to get more nice shots than uncooperative weather shots. I wonder if on the days that it snowed or rained, they did all the indoor scenes. How long were they at each location, a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chedderchester Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Lucy and the Generation Gap--my favorite "gap" is the Space Age, with the psychedelic synth music and Craig materializing. lol. I can't believe a high school was able to pull that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chedderchester Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Lucy and Viv visit Tijuana cracks me up, how they act like stereotypical Mexicans with the sombreros and sarapes at the border, and doing the Mexican hat dance in the shop. "He pick us up at Tijuana bar!" lol. Classic Lucy and Viv. I didn't know Pinatas were a Christmas thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 They looked to be having such a good time together. If this was not a family friendly show I bet the jewels would have been drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chedderchester Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I love the Tijuana one. Also, in the episode before it (Lawrence Welk) Viv acts as if she's never even seen Lucy's house in LA,, based on her letter. She was already there in season 1.

mickie Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I see that Murder She Wrote will now be airing everyday on CoziTV from 3- 5pm everyday. Here's Lucy airs at 4pm weekdays. I wonder if they will move the show to another time slot or take off altogether. I did notice in their schedule that HL is not airing during the week of Dec. 22 (for Xmas shows).

chedderchester Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Just saw Lucy and Ma Parker for the first time. Not sure how I ever missed that one when I first got the S3 set. It was pretty funny. Why did the cop want her to blow up that balloon? The midgets pretending to be kids was funny, as was Lucy's line about how surprising it would've been to give the "girl" a bath. I think s3 is probably my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreddieMertz Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 The balloon thing was a sobriety test. P.S.: HOW DARE YOU SAY THIS EPISODE WAS FUNNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 P.S.: HOW DARE YOU SAY THIS EPISODE WAS FUNNY HA! I've never heard of anyone liking this episode before, with the possible exception of the Jerry Marin fan club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chedderchester Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 What was so bad about it? Yeah it was kind of odd. The only time we see Lucy's backyard. lol. I thought Ma Parker was a real person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Kampen Tripp Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I like it when Lucy says ...Eh quit stuffin' yourself! I also like.... I was probably loaded... I like when LUCY acts like someone else to get a crock or reward or info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I Just saw Cozi new schedule starting Jan 5th and Here's Lucy moves to 6pm EST That's better than 4pm! Good timeslot! Here's Lucy must be doing well for them. Now if only MeTV would move I Love Lucy to a decent time and add The Lucy Show to their line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm going to start a Lucy marathon, watching every single show until i get cable again. What better time to do it, nothing but reruns on tv and no cable shows to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Try watching in order, a whole new experience. Oh but i have done that before, it's just that i haven't watched them in a while so i'm way overdue. To get back to the original thread question, i love season one the most because it was so nice to see Lucy, with her own real life kids, trying to bridge the generation gap. Had they had great writing, might have been so much better. Emmy award winning type better, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
