I used this clip to send to my husband to announce I was pregnant. He was out of town on a work trip and he immediately called me crying with joy

[@1234pouvez]

Congratulations on your Blessed Event

[@matthewp.9167]

I don't care how scripted, or prepared this scene was, that was genuine emotion coming from Lucy. The love a man and a women express for one another when a baby is on the way is extraordinary and beautiful. Here, it's forever captured between Desi and Lucy.

[@PeridotLioness85]

Your right. It was emotional for both of them due to Lucy have multiple miscarriages.

[@csu3524]

And than the big miscarriage. Divorced!

[@nickj12]

She was pregnant in real life at the time so I’m sure it was.

[@thehair1474]

I am crying looking at this. And I'm sure everyone else was/is too.

[@doughertympd1]

I totally agree Matt. No matter how many times I watch this, the tears flow like rain. Lucy was always so transparent, that's what made her so endearing. She wasn't afraid to take people to their most vulnerable places.

[@johnorlando9839]

It’s obvious the love they had for each other. But Desi had that ‘roaming eye’ that Lucy could not, and did not, ignore. Sad. This scene is heart wrenching.

[@gracievanmeerbeek1926]

Ricky started to cry in thus scene so did Lucy and Ethel sniffled. They wanted retakes but the audience stood up and shouted "no! no!" even Lucy and Ricky didn't want retakes.

[@georgedelgado1995]

No re-takes

[@xsailor85]

It’s perfect❤️👩‍❤️‍👨

[@a.t.6322]

Easily one of the most genuinely tender moments in all of TV history. Love it.

[@bravaLiz]

CBS censors prohibited the word "pregnant" at the time. I always cry when I see this.

[@bethfiori4708]

So grossly stupid, sexist, and infuriating that the word "pregnant" was censored.

[@Yobbie72]

I love that her tears were real.

[@jenniferlorenzo7282]

They wanted to record the end scene again but decided to keep it because of their genuine emotions.

[@stevarino1989]

+Jennifer Lorenzo I read in Lucy's autobiography that they did reshoot it, but used the original take instead. I don't think we'll ever see the retake. Unless somebody happened to have a movie camera in the audience. Lol. There is actually behind the scenes color home movie footage of a season 1 episode from an audience member's perspective.

[@RoelfKarsJanssen]

Why did she have real tears??

[@crazykano]

Because she was really pregnant and Desi, the actor that's singing the song is her husband.

[@nrthstr11]

She said it made her think of when she had her first baby, Lucie and all the complications she had, so she became very emotional with her being pregnant again.

[@PhillyfurEver]

My favorite part is when he rests his head on her shoulders at the end, so genuine :'-)

[@missyrose2154]

[@grandee3]

My favorite is Indian Show but with the other lady Carol? Can’t find it on you tube anymore. Had it on my favs but it was taken down.

[@dtv2031]

I know it's a show and they rehearsed this down to each letter but it feels very spontaneous and real. Kudos to Desi Arnaz's underrated acting.

[@csu141]

dtv2031 .....and Lucy's perfectionism

[@nrthstr11]

Their reaction at the very end was really spontaneous. This is one of those rare moments. The take called for them to do the song and kiss at the end happily but according to Lucy herself as well as Desi Arnaz the whole scene made Lucy tear up, thinking about their troubles having their first birth with baby Lucie. She began to cry and so did Desi prompting that very tender ending. They wanted to re-shoot it but the audience shouted them down and saying it was perfect and so they kept it! et voila-TV History

[@tiaarns]

dtv2031 this was actually Desi learning about Lucy being pregnant with their second child. His reaction and surprise was not scripted.

[@nickj12]

Tawnya Arns no, she was pregnant during the filming of this episode, but he knew already (her belly was still very prominent, even with their attempts not to film it).

[@twinflameswithtempy7019]

It was. This was how she told Ricky she was pregnant. He had no idea

[@ladedalounge]

I cry every time I see this clip, her tears were real....miss those times watching this show on reruns at night

[@natalieann3041]

They couldn’t say “pregnant”..But Desi said it worked out better because it was funnier for him to say “Spectin’.”

[@carolinen5396]

You can absolutely feel the emotions that they are feeling ❤️ One of the most touching scenes of the series.

[@JuanitaIris]

I'm crying my eyes out lol I sang this to my boyfriend after telling him we're having a baby. We swayed in the kitchen and cried. It was beautiful just like this moment captured.

This is my favorite scene in the entire series! They were so in love, the way they looked at each other and how Lucille shyly cried was so beautiful. Can you imagine watching your parents so in love and holding each other so tight, what a privilege to have that on film.

The most touching scene ever! Especially, when we know the story of the struggles of Lucy & Desi ! Lucy was not acting here, She was shedding genuine, joyful tears! Ricky's reaction is so priceless! This is how ALL pregnancies should be regarded respected & loved ,especially today. ,& regardless of the prevailing circumstances of life! This scene is even more stunning , watching it & looking back, today! We are reminded of the 2 marvelous children that Desi.& Lucy had & how they went on to do marvelous things in the world,in spite of the adversity of life! "I LOVE LUCY" was & is an outstanding example of real life! May it go on forever! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

@@r.godfrey5231actually it wasn't her idea it was the producers, Lucy and Desi had thought , that was it and both of them were quite happy to finish ,ILL as children were important to both of them .Jess Oppenheimer, was determined not to lose this huge show watched by 50 million people every week, so he thought what the heck, they would try. tbh, the biggest reason the sensors let it happen was the fact that Lucy and Desi were married in real life, other wise the Story line would maybe never have happened. its come to light recently, that Desi, wanted to finish ,and for them to have a family life, life, but lucy wanted to go on, that maybe didn't help her marriage did it, not that im excusing Desi's behaviour however.

[@dragondancer1814]

When my husband and I were expecting our older daughter, we waited until Christmas to surprise my parents with the news, and made the announcement in the form of a Christmas present. We bought a small jar of baby food and a bib (we couldn’t find one that read “I love my grandma,” but found one with Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger), wrapped them up, and made that the last present under the tree. What made it funny was that everybody else got the message right away, but it took Mom about five minutes to clue in that the present meant I was pregnant! With our second, there was no hiding anything-I had Kate Middleton-type “morning” sickness all day and could barely keep anything down! That pretty much _screams_ “We’re having another baby!” right there. And since they’re almost five years apart in age, the news was received as the terrific surprise that it was!

[@JustTanya.]

Such an incredible moment in TV and on this show. Never fails to make me smile. Though this show was scripted, no ad libbing whatsoever, they truly had the emotions of an expecting couple. Though this was their second child, Luci was first, it was a crazy coincidence when this episode aired Lucille gave birth to their son Desi Jr. on the same day. They were glad they decided that Lucy and Ricky would have a son. Though their marriage didn't last it was said that after the divorce they did their best at co-parenting despite Lucille's hectic schedule and Desi's drinking and philandering. She said that they made better friends than they did being a couple. Though this show was only on for 5 years, it's still going almost 60 years later. It's funny no matter how many times you've seen it. Pure genius to everyone affiliated with this show.
