These two. There is just nobody else who has ever come close to these beautiful legends. Always full of genuine comedy!😂

Hello Julie, How are you doing?

[@fjccommish]

Laurel and Hardy, and Abbot and Costello were equal to these two. Lavergne and Shirley were a step behind, but they were still very good.

[@thestones8022]

That's weird i like the last 2 not the 1st two you mentioned...my op...i guess.

[@lisamorris5941]

Lucy and Vivian will always be my favorite actresses. To me they are the best of the best. They just don't make shows like these two in them anymore. ♥♥

Classic, classic comedy. Lucy and Vivian were a perfect pairing, comparable to Laurel and Hardy or Abbot and Costello.

[@marthasomerset6952]

I love this episode. It cracks me up when they are building the rumpus room 🤣🤣 Those things could only happen to Lucy and Ethel 🤣🤣

[@DonnaBrooks]

Please don't call Vivian, "Ethel." She hated being saddled w/ Ethel her whole life. She insisted on using the name VIVIAN on The Lucy Show. It's Lucy Carmichael & Vivian Bagley. Ethel never existed in the world in which they live. Neither did the Ricardos. This show stands alone & has nothing to do with I Love Lucy.

[@stevarino1989]

Lol I love the Trout Almondine scene. I bet Miss Ball spent quite a bit of time trying to get that bit timed perfectly! The setting up of the table and the pouring of the ice from the boot, and the champagne, and the bowl of salad hidden in the lamp 🤣 I also wish we found out how Lucy and Viv got unstuck from the wall. Probably bottles of acetone or nail polish remover!

It was funny until Viv moved out. Lucy needed her.

[@paulk9985]

@@m.e.d.7997 I do. She was commuting each week from the east coast to Los Angeles to do the show. She had recently married and wanted to be home more. So she guested about once each season. I believe she did the same for the subsequent Here's Lucy (as Vivian Jones).

[@m.e.d.7997]

@@paulk9985 Could have just moved out there. But maybe she was done with it all.

@@m.e.d.7997Viv had married & divorced 3 times & was finally in a happy relationship w/ hubby #4. She didn't need the money b/c she was set for life from I Love Lucy. Her husband was a publisher. Like you, I was wondering this morning why they couldn't move to SoCal where he could travel back & forth when needed. After all, Vivian HAD to be present for her job, but he could do business on the phone, by postal mail, & people could come to HIM for meetings.

Loved This Show And The Episode

[@italoman9]

Love the scenes blocking, and comic and timing pacing here. Very much the feeling of a more modern old “ILL” episode. Yes, probably helped by Desi still being producer through this show’s first mid-season, after he left and Lucille bought him out as Desilu head. They were divorced for 2 years by now, and Lucille was remarried by then to Gary Morton who was doing the show filming nights’ pre-audience comic warmup routines. That must’ve been all really weird between all of them. The “ILL” format just wouldn’t have worked anymore under these circumstances. Plus Lucille and Desi were divorcing, not speaking, and not getting great ratings anymore by their last hourlong special as the Ricardos alongside the Mertzes with guest stars Ernie and Edie Kovacks back in March 1960. I, too, like this episode’s actual black and white filming. Seasons 2 and 3 were also originally shown in B&W, but filmed in color, but CBS didn’t have a general all-shows color policy till 1965, so Seasons 2 and 3 were in color only later in syndication, and Season 1 only also in if artificially colorized later. 🤗❤️👍

[@pamhoward2333]

The reason they hold up so well. I think is they never used bad words. Back in the day. You couldn't use it in tv.

[@garycarpenter2980]

Yeah and if you did...... you're outta there..... pfffft

[@kennethmanzi1659]

one of the reasons it still holds up is because it was great.

First of all I love ♥️all the Lucy shows starting with I Love ♥️Lucy The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy,& the movie Meme which I also loved in which she got horrible reviews that got to her too because she had said that she's never going to make another movie she felt like every body had abandoned she felt nobody wanted her & the fans that she had wasn't supporting her and talking about bad reviews the last sitcoms she meade which aird13 episodes and after that she got canceled and she also got horrible reviews and people the telling her that she should quit she's too old and that's horrible poor woman she didn't come out for 3 years till Bob Hope insisted she go with h.im to the Oscars she said she didn't want to go but Bob Hope kept on asking her finally she did I'm glad she did because that was her last public appearance when they came out or I should say she came out & every body gave her a standing ovation That lasted like 5 minutes she was in tears but after that, one month after we lost her and that was that.🎭♥️🕯R.I.P my 👸 queen

[@barrett7893]

Even though Lucy and Vivian did fight I really think they did love each other very much. And you can see after Vivian passed away that Lucy took that hard. And Lucy Continue to work in until she passed away. It must’ve been hard to watch everyone around you pass away. Lucy shows were always amazing but they just wasn’t the same without Vivian..

[@thestones8022]

i dont know her guest list was pretty impressive.....John Wayne, Mary Jane Croft Ann Sothern, Gale Gordon...Bob Crane, Joan Blondell, Carol Burnett, just to name a few and Viv came back a few times and once in an episode with Joan Crawford!!!! Now that was a great episode!!! Great great show!! But I do love seasons 1, 2 and three, with Viv; the best.. try Lucy gets trapped or The substitute secretary, good stuff!!
