How can I choose a favorite actor since they all were perfection? Desi Arnaz laughed at William Frawley and they way he delivered his lines. I agree with Vivian Vance that William Frawley was old enough to be her father. There was a 22 year age difference. Lucille Ball danced so beautifully with Van Johnson! You know, I can remember watching the show when I was 6 years old. I was born in 1950. And I remember watching the Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour.

@@FactsVerse I don’t know the titles, but the one where Lucy splices the film that Ricky wants to use as an audition tape. She splices in some home movies and some sort of western scene. I also love the one where she plays the Queen of the Gypsies at the local amateur opera guild. The chorus joins in on all her songs. She has the line, “I will now sing my song” and she turns to all the ladies and says “MY song!” Oh, I adore the dance sequence with Van Johnson when they go to Hollywood. There are so many great episodes. My favorite Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour show is the one with Talulah Bankhead. “Why it tastes like strawberries!”

The grape stomping story isn't quite right, according to Lucy herself. I heard her tell that story in an interview. She said the woman that was hired didn't speak English and they told her to pretend to fight with Lucy, but she didn't know when to stop so she started to choke her in the grapes and Lucy was actually choking but the Italian woman thought she was acting. The director couldn't see them so he didn't know right away, but they eventually got the Italian woman to stop. LOL

Notorious episode? Grape stomping was a favorite....she wasn't almost murdered. The lady Italian lady didn't understand English and the director's directions. Lucy did say - and say it to me - I knew her - that she almost drowned in a vat of grapes....And the Italian lady while overzealous wasn't actually attempting to kill her, that's crazy....what else you point out here is generally true, but not all that scandalous really. About smoking Lucy and Desi both smoked and may have even played a role in their deaths (I am not doctor and won't speculate) but we didn't know in the early 1950's about smoking and the relationship to cancers as we do today. They just didn't know what they didn't know.

Actually I loved the I Love Lucy show as a child; however in this many decades later, I have watched the episodes over and over they are so darn funny. Also, now have watched most of The Lucy Show particularly seasons 4-6.And some episodes of Here's Lucy. As a result of this revival - have watched many of Lucille Balls films that I had never seen before - really enjoyed about 15 of them. She is a treasure. She often was dubbed in singing, but did all her own singing in Dance, Girl, Dance. Also, sang "Friendship"in Du Barry Was a Lady with Red Skelton, and sang"Breezing Along with the Breeze" with Desi in in Long Long Trailer. Her singing was panned in Mame, however it reminded me of the talk/singing Rex Harrison did in My Fair Lady. Also in Mame her voice suited her character.

Tacy schemes to have it hidden all throughout the trailer; sure enough when they get to 8,000 feet the stuff starts sliding around & @ one moment it seems the trailer was going to go off the mountain for sure, taking them to their deaths - thankfully it doesn't but as soon as they are out of danger, Nicky opens up the trailer door & the evidence is apparent, which he tosses away, infuriating Tacy to no end.

The Episode where Lucy tells Ricky she’s pregnant has always been my fav episode since i was a kid

[@trawlins396]

When I was young I always thought I Love Lucy was so corny. Now that I'm an adult (43 yrs old) I think it's hilarious.

[@geraldwalsh6489]

As a kid i liked the show,55 years later,it is corny

[@2Camphosts]

Lucille Ball had no inhibitions about doing whatever she had to do to make people laugh. Long, Long Trailer, and Yours, Mine, and Ours

[@janmelott9743]

It is and always be Lucille Ball R.I.P.

Same here, Marissa!

I loved all the I Love Lucy episodes plus the ones in Connecticut, and the hr long ones that had them with a different star and different locals. My fav ILL episodes- Pick Pocket Pearl was GREAT!!, the one w/Bill Holden, priceless, the one where they’re lost in the Alps is terrific, and the Ernie Ford episodes are so funny I got tired of Ricky’s shows, sometimes, but enjoyed seeing his band’s reaction to Lucy’s antics! I NEVER get tired of watching n I’m 64!!!

We loved all episodes too, Val!

[@lailalong4919]

Lucille Ball was hilarious and it’s funny how Desi Arnaz played like a daddy to her as well as being her husband

[@FactsVerse]

What was your favorite episode of the show, Laila?

[@lailalong4919]

The episode where they switched jobs you know where the guys did the house work and the girls went to work in The Guys’ Place also the chocolate episode was funny and the episode where she did the commercial for the vita vita veggie men or however you say that

[@didibolter9362]

I know the feeling well.

[@ivieburks2028]

All of them are my favorite characters

[@richardribot1441]

Lucy was the best

[@nancymoule6317]

My favorite episode of "I love Lucy." Is when the birth of little Ricky" It was funny when Lucy comes out of the bedroom and said "Ricky this is it." And Fred, Ethel, and Ricky go into a frenzy.

[@sallykohorst8803]

Thank you for the new information on this beautiful show. I never thought Fred snd Ethel really hated each other.

[@FactsVerse]

Glad you liked it! What's your favorite episode of the show, Sally?

[@mindyteddybear]

I think Bill was 19 years older than Vivian and that bothered her from the beginning .

[@harperstacey9604]

William crawley had said that Vivian Vance wasunattractive and grimy looking.

[@didibolter9362]

I read an article a while back that said that Vivian Vance bought drinks for everyone at a bar when she heard that William Frawley had died. She even applauded.

[@mistresstlc210]

Wow! I never knew that we can thank Li’l Desi Jr. for all our favorite reruns!!! (F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for me, as of late... lol!)

[@tootsie3612]

Love love love James Gleason. I'm an fanatic for old movies. He's always been one of my favorite actors. Him and Edna May Oliver were hilarious in their movie series, The Hildregarde Withers mysteries. And he was great in Arsenic And Old Lace and The Bishop's Wife. Arsenic And Old Lace is one of my all-time favorite movies.

[@racheldianeames3729]
