Jim Bacon, who appears as himseif in 10:26, wrote in his 1977 book Made In Hollywood that at the initial rehearsals Burton was wasting his lines, dramatizing them as if he was doing Shakespearei at the Old Vic, which annoyed Lucy immensely. Knowing that Bacon was one of Burton's drinking partners Lucy turned to him for help. Bacon told Richard that in order to win the audience's favor he had to stop the exageration and perform the way Milton Berle used to do at his TV shows, "knockin' em dead". Only then did Burton's approach change and he was brilliant.

This was fun. I kind of remember the original broadcast and how exciting it was then that stars of the magnitude of Taylor and Burton were making an appearance on a TV sitcom--that was kind of unheard of.

This was the kind of programming your family gathered around and watched with you--I really miss those days.

Richard Burton despised Lucille Ball's technique which was notoriously (yet surprisingly) regimented. After the first rehearsal, Lucielle gathered everyone together and made them go over the script another 3 times. Richard told the director to get "Jingle Balls" to stay clear of Elizabeth, claiming she would explode like nuclear war head if she was to be micro-managed. I don't know that she really would have though, I think he just knew Elizabeth had good timing & didn't want Ball hampering it.

In reply to Mickey Raton That is because the actors that transgressed to TV in the 1950's and 1960's were great character actors in the movies, or had a lot training on the stage, or on radio. Both Lucy and Gale Gordon were great character actors, or great grade B actors on the radio and movies Like it or not, because of the censorship code, you could not resort to gross out or profanity stuff that they do on comedy today often ruining programs that have great writing like South Park

"and they call me a two FISTED drinker'' referring to his reputation, which was an accurate one, of his drinking problems. So, here, when Taylor has 2 glasses, one held by her and one by Lucy, he makes that comment as he was known to always have a drink in each hand...'two fisted', which gives the comment a completely different meaning that what I think you did not hear correctly. "feisty/fisted' can be easily confused. I saw him the last time he did 'Camelot' at Lincoln Center, so drunk, sadly.

Chase Jackson, really? Were u there? Of course this episode is familiar to one from I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show it was written by the same writers. Lucy was famous for her nepotism and employed the same group of actors and writers from her I Love Lucy days. I doubt that Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were totally in charge doing filming. Lucy and Gary and CBS were in charge. Perhaps the Burtons had script and scheduling approval. Yes, they were famous and in demand but they were hardly any match for young Hollywood when this episode aired in 1971. The Burton's actually needed this more so than Lucy and CBS. The Burtons needed to promote their cause as actors and a couple to garner interest in their up coming films. By this time Liz was close to 40 competing with younger actresses such as Ali MacGraw, Faye Dunaway, Cybill Shepherd, Mia Farrow who were all doing well at the box office. Here's Lucy was the least funniest and least successful of Lucy's sit-coms but the series was doing well in the top 10 in 1971 due to all the celebrity guest stars. Even at age 8 back in 1971 I knew this series was not of the same quality as Lucy's previous shows. Husbands and wives argue all the time and since Lucy and Gary worked together on set I am sure there were many disagreements. Lucy and Desi Arnaz had many famous arguments on set as well. Lucy was never overrated, she was a beautiful, talented comedian who did her job well and with such great seriousness.

Of course, Liz may have been sweetening it all, but why mention it at all, except to clear up inaccurate rumors. Always rumors that "A" hates "B", but usually not true.

It was amusing--especially the great Gale Gordon as the perpetually exasperated Mr. Mooney--but the later "Lucy" series just didn't have the sparkle and wit of its predecessors--especially the pioneering "I Love Lucy." That's probably why big-name guests like the Burtons were becoming so important, to make up for scripts that belonged to another era. I still prefer it to "Two Broke Girls," but...
