C L A U D E Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I always found it amusing that despite living in a New York apartment, Lucy would just happen to have kerosene on hand! Or -- not that she really did set them afire -- at least, that she'd think that'd actually be a "plausible" 'scuse for the clothes going up in flames. Oh, brother! Hey, if you can bring a baby elephant up those stairs, you can really do anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONALISAISMONALUCY Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Hey, if you can bring a baby elephant up those stairs, you can really do anything at all. How about sneaking out of someone's closet disguised as a chair? How about stashing a whole neighborhood of children all claiming to be Ricky's and Lucy's? Even one playing a congo drum. How did Lucy leased out a human pressure cooker and place it in her bedroom? Where did Ricky park his horse after riding it across the New York City? How did Lucy stuff probably a seven foot length cooked bread in her oven? Where did Lucy get that bathtub for the kitchen for Ricky to wash himself?

I think all the guests from one party were in there one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never used at all not even to open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeySanJoaquin Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Have you wondered about that door in the first apartment kitchen? Was it a door to a storage cabinet or storage room??? It was never used at all not even to open it. Just the way it was designed at the time, I guess. I think most logically it would have opened out onto the hallway. Yes, I know logic didn't always "play" particularly in those first season eps, perhaps because it was all new back then. They were finding their way as they went along. The were, after all, pioneers! Of course the extended loaf of bread for me stands out as the biggest example of really having to "go with it" and just suspend belief to go along and have fun with what you were watching. Still, I think that's one of the many reasons why I prefer the later seasons -- particularly the Hollywood era and after -- as by then the characters and their personalities were well established and as loony as some of Lucy's ideas could be, they were plausible, you didn't sit there and think that that couldn't really happen because....it could! Maybe not very likely, but possible. I dunno it's hard to explain but I think all the examples cited above - particularly the loaf of bread -- make my point. It doesn't however, make me love the show or those episodes any less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't however, make me love the show or those episodes any less. I was thinking, wouldn't it be nice if that door in the kitchen lead straight downstairs to The Mertzes apartment? The kitchen set could have been used for other settings so that the door could be utilized. Some of the Hollywood storylines have been done in real life. Fans stalking celebrities, stealing Oscar trophies... Even Lucy had people climbing into her property and she blamed it on those episodes she did in Hollywood. Considering there were all those sci fi films of the 1950's, the over yeasted bread that drove out of the oven pushing back Lucy up against the counter doesn't seem so far fetched. Maybe the yeast was also radioactive which brought life to Lucy's bread with dangerous ominous results. Was Ethel using a saw to slice into that monster of a loaf to save Lucy from being crushed, attempting at the same in trying to kill it?

The very first apartment before moving into the Benson's one. It was in the first season, but I am not certain if it was there in the second. It may have been re-designed along the way. I have to watch the first and second seasons to see if there were any changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONALISAISMONALUCY Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Death of A Glamour Star She was the centerpiece, the STAR, She who wore the largest headdress, and she would be shot while gliding downstairs with a company of glamour girls escorting her from her left and from her right. Her headresss tilted over losing her star as it fell to the bottom of the stairs. She became a common glamour girl handing over her headdress to another common glamour girl who WOULD BE THE STAR!!! As they descended downstairs THE SHOT was heard and one that relinquished THE HEADDRESS fell dying at the bottom of the stairs. The bullet missing the target developed into a rewrite of the scene. THE ORIGINAL STAR WOULD ALREADY BE DEAD LYING ON A GURNEY COVERED FROM HEAD TO ANKLE. A FACELESS LIFELESS MYSTERY ONLY INSIDERS WOULD KNOW AND THE REST OF THE WORLD,WOULDN'T!!!

MONALISAISMONALUCY Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Little Ricky taught his father how to be a good sport by convincing his father to play a hollow tree in his school's stage production. Ricky Ricardo decided to make Lucy, Ethel, and Fred good sports as well by drafting them to be in the stage production as well. Lucy will play the wicked old witch of the forest, Fred would play Hippity-Hoppity, the frog, and Ethel would play the Fairy Princess. Lucy ruins Little Stevie Appleby's birthday party in inviting Superman to Little Ricky Ricardos birthday party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONALISAISMONALUCY Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hallmark this morning took me from Country Club Dance to The Saxophone. From a beautiful large home in the country to a cramped New York apartment. From Betty Ramsey's quaint early american furniture to what looks like second hand thrift store furniture. From being parents of an elemntary school boy to wondering when we will have a baby. From working at a nightclub to owning that nightclub. From five years older to five years younger. From living in a larger apartment, visiting Hollywood, visiting Europe, visiting Florida and Cuba to venturing not any farther than the island of Manhattan. From Lucy knowing only Sweet Sue on the saxophone to Lucy knowing only Glow Worm on the saxophone. It does something to my mind when the episodes are not chronologically in order. They even skipped the first season.IT MUST BE A FULL MOON!!! THAT'S IT!!! NOW IT MAKES SOME SENSE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I'm starting from episode one again and maybe one disc a day, alternating with her later in life appearances that have never been put out on dvd. Sorta like The Young and the Restless of Lucy marathons so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
