I Love LUCY!-- Secret Surprise Ending To This Episode was REMOVED! Here's Why!

[@stuartm6069]

I always knew that 3's Company was "I Love Lucy" revisited. Lucy even did a special look back episode of 3's Company. The misunderstanding trope goes back a lot further than I Love Lucy. It was very common in Vaudeville skits. Shakespeare used it the Merchant of Venice and Romeo and Juliet. I wouldn't be surprised if it was used in Ancient Greek plays as well.

[@Pandalynn369]

I like how they ended it with Ricky catching Madam X. Ì don't think the other ending would have been that good.

[@jhonwask]

I agree.

[@julier.1902]

I looked up Alice Wills-she lived only to the age of 50, sadly. Her husband and son were both stuntmen.

[@paulcarpenter999]

This was the second of three appearances by Allen Jenkins as a policeman on the show.

[@mamas.8259]

Thanks, Rick for all the hard work. I love Lucy.❤

[@roberttelarket4934]

Fred in general has the best lines in every episode that he's in!

[@stephenr3910]

I like when Lucy says, "If it's money you need, I'll pay you what I owe you!"

[@ravenpoe7093]

I was gonna comment same thing 😂 its one of my favorite lines from the episode 😆

[@yanceybanks2291]

The way this particular episode ended was absolutely superlative!👍🏽 This was a gem of information... Please keep these coming!🤝🏽🫶🏾

[@patrickdavey55]

Thanks for your amazing content. You have a wonderfully soothing voice that is great for voice overs!!! Happy Holidays!

[@leeparks15]

This is my favorite episode! Love it when Fred took off the other way. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@roberttelarket4934]

Sort of a mistake. Why would Madam X jump on the couch to be tackled by Lucy?!

[@Jared_Wignall]

Always a good time to learn more about I Love Lucy. Keep up the great work Rick, I hope you’re doing well. Have a great day and take care!

[@ricknineg]

Thanks Jared!

[@lazyhomebody1356]

No, the alternate ending sounds like a lecture. "Let this be a lesson to us! Never again shall I jump to false conclusions or suspect my friends."

[@PaulTesta]

Rick, I'm glad the producers chose to go with the ending that was aired (where Ricky captures Madame X). Christmas blessings upon you and your new bride as you celebrate your first Christmas together as a married couple! 🎄

[@ricknineg]

You are most welcome. I agree, the ending they went with was perfect. Merry Christmas!

[@marlenepearson3936]

I always love it when you do I Love Lucy, Rick. That's what brought me here in the beginning. I do believe that I like the ending that aired better than what you said it was supposed to be. ❤

[@karicortez2582]

“Too Many Crooks” is my favorite episode as an adult! I think the ending they went with is the best! I crack up every time 😂

[@pl5624]

Lucy appeared in a 3s company episode..

[@MsBackstager]

Yes, as announcing the retrospect of the show.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

I would call that a special not an episode

[@pl5624]

@@lazyhomebody1356 ok..an installment.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

@pl5624 It would have been so wonderful to have Lucy on a regular episode 🥲

[@MsBackstager]

@@lazyhomebody1356 Yes, as a ditzy neighbor or girlfriend of Furley.

[@brianrebmann5398]

excellent video keep up the great work

[@bejoyful]

Great information Rick and wonder if ILL scripts are available still; one of my favourite episodes too; there are memorable moments in so many episodes; in this one it is Lucy having Ethel holding her so tight when she realises Madam X is not her. Wishing you and all your subcribers a Merry Christmas and truly a hopeful New Year!!

[@mamas.8259]

Merry Christmas to you too❤

[@trainsupporter9088]

Thanks so much Rick! Appreciate all your hard work. I trust you have a most blessed Christmas...God's blessings to you always!

[@ricknineg]

Merry Christmas! Thank you

[@theastewart6721]

I like the ending the way it is Rick. Glad they went with it. I agree, seeing Fred run the other way is hysterical! Thanks for another great video.😊

[@ricknineg]

You are so right! I'm glad you enjoyed it too!

[@iloveejbgssnoopy]

You are super amazing Rick and I learn so much from you about I love Lucy.

[@ricknineg]

Thank you for watching!

[@moccalou]

OHHHH! I never realized Fred was cowardly trying to avoid the burglar. I thought he just didn't trust Ethel to give him the right direction in a crisis. Thanks for pointing that out. 😂

[@ddavenpAZ]

Great video! Especially you singing the outro music of I Love Lucy! lol. Question! 🙋‍♂️. Did Desi really leap and tackle Madame X in the episode or was that a stunt double?

[@ricknineg]

That was him!

[@ddavenpAZ]

@ No way! That’s cool! You should do a YT short on that!

[@roberttelarket4934]

The ending we see is the best! No changes!

[@JaneDoe-ov1hb]

Thank you so much for more Lucy content,I do appreciate it a lot ❤ Either ending is OK with me! Happy Holidays🎄🎅

[@ricknineg]

Much appreciated!

[@sallyn2393]

I like the ending they went with, and I think the very best and the funniest part of the episode is Fred showing his cowardice. It’s so funny. I laugh every time I watch it. 😄

[@ravenpoe7093]

One of my favorite episodes. Both Lucy and Ethel thinking they’re Jessica Fletcher (or Miss Marple which is closer the time period) Lucy’s line “if its money u want Ill pay you what i owe you” Ethel directing Fred in the hall “She went that way” “This way” and he runs in opposite direction. 😆 BTW Rick I dont think youtube likes you much. Im subbed all notifications turned on, but i wasn’t feeling good all day when u posted and I had to keep scrolling down to find the video while others i dont have all notifications or any notifications kept going up to the top and i didnt have to search for them

[@felicia2463]

I Love Lucy too!❤️

[@randytim512]

Definitely the tackle ending. The ending was the funniest moment of the show and with the alternate ending it would be less popular. Great video Rick!

[@DANNYZUKO78-z1d]

❤ME TOO I LOVE LUCY ❤

[@FrancescaA00]

The other ending sounds really boring for the show. That’s the kinda ending for the Donna Reed show or the kind of show that has a specific moral each episode.

[@im_agine852]

You've got it going on,Rick.

[@roberttelarket4934]

Love this episode!!! One of my top episodes!!!

[@jons.6216]

Don't know if the original would have worked as well! Noting that they're in the second apartment kitchen, it sure seems smaller than the first season. Also, the quaint row of the classic Pyrex primary bowls now sit stacked inside each other on top of the refrigerator the way Pyrex designed them to do.

[@PaulTesta]

Believe it or not... We have a set of those Pyrex bowls!

[@jons.6216]

​​@@PaulTestamy mom had the primary colors set, but the two smaller ones - the blue and red had eventually broken. The green and largest yellow one lasted the longest and Jell-O was usually made in the green, while family sized potato and macaroni salads were made in the yellow!

[@PaulTesta]

​@@jons.6216 Thanks for sharing those warm memories!

[@roberttelarket4934]

They made a mistake. Madam X isn’t a woman! It’s a man. It’s Rick Nineg Mr. X!

[@thespookyone66]

Love Lucy 🧡🧡

[@SusanDiPaolo-g6s]

I just watched this episode. I like the way it ended. Rick, my husband is now hooked on ILL thanks to Pluto TV!

[@morganm9040]

Keep the ending how it was shown. My favorite part from this episode is when Fred picked up the silver cigarette case and then rubbed his prints off.

[@julievanderleest]

I’m definitely glad they ended it with Ricky capturing madam x. This was one of my favorite episodes.

[@JL13675]

No sitcom holds up better than this one. Other old shows feel stale, dated. This show is always great.

[@reginabeasley872]

This ending as she was caught

[@jehobden]

Maybe the network insisted on changing the ending to prove that crime never pays, which it would have with the original ending. My least favorite episode of THREE'S COMPANY is "Jack's Navy Pal", where a jerk of a Navy acquaintance of Jack's (certainly no pal) gets away with beating up Jack & wrecking the apartment.

[@marilyn6979]

She gets caught...better..thx Rick

[@MsBackstager]

We also luv Rick.

[@brianmoore6306]

This was a funny episode!
