JoeySanJoaquin Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Was this actually a commercial? LOL That...is TOO COOL!! Just wonder why they didn't keep her in color?? Must have been technically too hard to manage in '87! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Uh, kinda lame, but in 1987 standards it was pretty awesome I guess. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I wonder if "Service Merchandise" was understanding when the ring got stuck on Lucy's finger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 This might be an obvious question, but why on earth would they make Lucy black and white in this ad when the episode they took it frum is in glorious technicolour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because she's a GHOST and therefore in black and white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Well she wasn't dead yet in 1987. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivfantoo* Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Maybe they were trying to grab viewers attention with the black & white image? A Lucy Ricardo image would have been more appropriate, since that's when she was in black & white ... Still, it was cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Well she wasn't dead yet in 1987. LOL Maybe they just wanted her to STAND OUT more, like the litle girl in Schindler's List, who was the only one in color in a black and white film.

HarryCarter Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I believe this ad was actually from 1997. This article makes it seem that way: My link It's so weird that they de-colorized Lucy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yeah, hadn't they'd seen Forrest Gump? They had the technology back then to colorize her. Strange commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yeah, hadn't they'd seen Forrest Gump? They had the technology back then to colorize her. Strange commercial. And they didn't even NEED to colourise her, she was in colour in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 And they didn't even NEED to colourise her, she was in colour in the first place! LOL! I thought it HAD to be "A F T E R " she died, why on earth would they show her in black and white unless she was already gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
