The Lucy Show |TV-1967| VIV VISITS LUCY |S5E15

Lucille Ball, The Undisputed Queen of TV Comedy stars in her hilarious follow-up to I Love Lucy!
VIV VISITS LUCY: Recently married Vivian leaves Danfield to visit Lucy and the two begin gossiping and making up for lost time. When Viv tells Lucy about a friend's son who's now sporting long-hair, a guitar and a clock earring, the duo decide to dress up as hippies and set off to Sunset Strip to find "Itchy" to rescue him from the underworld. Lucy and Viv quickly find themselves in The Hairy Ape, where they finally find Itchy entertaining - after they spend the evening having to dance with the hip crowd.

Just priceless. Together forever. The dynamic duo of slapstick. Love them.

It’s in TV time

[@organist1982]

I just noticed that the uploader deleted certain parts of the original episode; Lucy actually talks for longer in the original while the plane lands and unloads, though it's still pretty fast!

[@clarissamoll666]

Lolz

[@DonnaBrooks]

@@organist1982 I wonder if the uploader did that or if the source from which the uploader got the video did it. I would notice parts of eps missing from Golden Girls reruns on cable or other shows I knew well. I always figured it was just a way for them to get in extra commercials.

[@lloydkline1518]

I ❤️ I love Lucy show;; it didn't have a bad episode;; I hear they couldn't stand weekly work & grind of I love Lucy show anymore: instead had specia;: l I love Lucy hour;; woman work 1950s/1960s Lucy had to get a job & be a role model ; I love Lucy had four legendary actress & actors

[@DonnaBrooks]

@@lloydkline1518 After ILL, they had "The Lucy / Desi Comedy Hour" in which the Ricardos AND the Mertz's move out to the country. So the setting changed but the actors didn't. In The Lucy Show, Lucy Carmichael was widowed w/2 children & Viv was divorced w/ 1 child & they all lived together in the same house for the first 3 seasons. THOSE WERE MY FAVORITE EPISODES! Lucy & Viv together again as different characters, with Viv's great line delivery & Lucy's physical comedy, plus the I Love Lucy writers?! I laughed so much during some of those episodes! Then, with S4, the show moved to California, Viv was no longer a co-star & the writers changed. In the opinion of many folks, it started going downhill from there. Lucy Carmichael worked because she needed money, not to be a role model, although IRL she was a role model of being an influential businesswoman.

[@CoopyKat]

This episode is SOOOOOO 60's.............I love it. I was too young to know what the 60's were like at the time, but in the early 70's I saw all these kinds of shows/music from the 60's and I caught up...

I'm Loose.....short for Lucy. I love it!!!!!!

[@virginiamartinez4774]

WHAT...???

[@Chrisoula17]

VIRGINIA MARTINEZ, when Lucy said "I'm Loose" she subtly implied that she was loose with her morals and she was into free love. She was subtly implying that she was a woman with loose morals. Notice how she quickly corrected herself and said "loose" was short for "Lucy". It was a very risqué to be into free love in 60's TV shows and that's why it was funny.

Why didnt viv co star in all of the seasons of the lucyy show ? In my humble opinion she was the heart of this show. They were equaly entertaining.

[@jackkircher1755]

She didn't want to continue playing the role on a permanent basis but was Lucy's guest several times. They gave Lucy a new friend, Mary Jane.

[@turboredcart]

In the begiing she did- but later she had commitments on the east coast. If I recall right she had a round of cancer, her husband and such were out of NY.

[@DonnaBrooks]

@@turboredcart I read in comments elsewhere that when the show moved to CA Viv couldn't continue b/c she didn't want to move across the country. Didn't she start her career on the stage?

He is. Yall just old.

[@gentleoldmoviefan5680]

Very funny sounds, including the music and laughter (genuine and spontaneous-seeming, from the studio audience) starting at 7:32 , when Vivian and Lucy enter the "hip" scene. They are trying to be incognito (being disguised as young people, dressed up in kooky clothing). Episode originally aired in January 9, 1967. More great period music (and wild dancing) a little bit later in the video. Especially memorable, for me, was "drum focused" music starting at 13:47 A moment later, Viv and Lucy are approached by some young men -- who seem to want to dance with them. Club members clicking their fingers (instead of clapping) to show their approval, seems somewhat "beatnik" to me - given my limited knowledge of "hip" vs. "square" culture, back in the 1950s and 1960s, in big cities' "dens of inequity" or hipster hangouts.

[@mthivier]

The two hippy dudes who dance with Vivian and Lucy, did they remind anyone else of Hall and Oates?

(Harry ape )If the menu is not on the table we ain’t got it 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@williampetersen9915]

Just a quick FYI: As they enter the Harry Ape, there are two props visible. One is from the I Love Lucy episode where Lucy is wearing a bull costume: The head of the costume is sitting on the fire hydrant just to the right of the guy by the door. The second one is just to the left of the door. It's a green martian doll that was used in the My Favorite Martian episode There's No Cure For The Common Martian.

[@tigergreg8]

I could have sworn that I remembered one of them getting up on the stage and doing some type of poem in the original production.

[@stovefly9996]

I wish i could have saw it live.

[@DonnaBrooks]

You might be getting this confused with Petticoat Junction. One of the few eps I can remember is when Bobbie Jo started hanging with some beatnik crowd & her mom let her hair down & got on stage & did some off the top of her head "poetry" & Bobbie Jo was embarrassed to death until everyone started applauding.

+fjvideo As the French say, "The more things change, the more they stay the same!" LOL! Also, when the "yuppie puppies" were growing up in the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, "The Lucy Show" was again back in fashion on the Nick at Nite, so THEY grew up with it...LOL!!! Which makes your original point contain more that just a little validity...(SMILE).

[@Jezebel260]

+fjvideo P.S.: When you say, "radicalized," I hope you don't mean don't mean to denigrate their integrity as good human beings (being socially and politically mindful, lacking the many petty prejudices that blighted the 1960s against marginalized Americans, and protesting today, as then, needless violent and unscrupulous behaviors of the varied "powerbrokers" that came to power in the 1980s and again in the early 2000s, or active persecution of people based on God-granted human qualities), but for their seemingly collective sense of generational "entitlement" and seemingly addictive reliance on the mass-world technology pandemic, rather than making more of an effort to relate face-to-face, in an humane and in-the-flesh intelligent manner (instead of posting insults and often hurtfully egotistical opinions on the internet, which they believe will protect their "anonymous" status, forever, without fail). The current generation is much to young (and self- preoccupied) to realize that NOTHING lasts forever, in one's favor---the time of the "privilege" of youth ends for every generation, eventually...from the "flaming youth" of the Roaring '20s to the youth of today, to and for which it seems EVERYTHING is "awesome!"
