Favorite I love Lucy episode

[Tara Evans]

I am a big fan of I love Lucy, it comes on every mornning at 7:30, and this mornning the chocalate episode came on, were her an Ethel had to go get a job, and ricky and fred had to stay home to do the house work. It's so funny I laugh every time I see it. So what is yalls favorite episode of the I love Lucy show?

[ElisabethWhispers]

Such a classic show!!! What channel is it on, Tara? I have several favorites. The birth of little Ricky was cute. I liked the series of shows where they were in Hollywood (or someplace in California) and Lucy kept making a fool of herself around all of those Hollywood stars!

So many cool cameo appearances!

Great topic!

I always got a kick out of the VetaVitaVegamin episode.....where Lucy is promoting a product, in a commercial I think, and has to keep shooting the commercial again and and again and gets a little loopy because she has to keep taking doses of it. She was a hoot in that episode!

The one where Lucy tries to sneak on a big hunk of cheese (disguised as a baby) onto the plane.

Any episode when she tries to sing and dance her way into Ricky's act.

Pretty much, I love them all.

I Love Lucy!

Of course the one where she was on the cake line, boxing them or something? Smashing the grapes in some wine press is another I recall ( I think?)

[Heather Winston]

Let's see which episode is my favorite, that's easy - all of them! They are all so great it is hard to pick. I love all of the ones already mentioned. The one where they are in Italy and Lucy and Ethel are stomping grapes to make wine is also on the top of my list.

Lucy and Ethel in the chocolate factory, hands down.
Remember The Groove Tube? The sandwich recipe commercial was inspired by the Lucy episode.

I vote for the vetavitavegemine episode too! Hilarious...

Looie, how about a Gomer Pyle thread... Shazam!

[Pamela]

Hello, Everyone. My vote goes to Vitameatavegamin, as well. Lucy played that brilliantly, going gradually from tipsy to downright sloshed.

My second favorite episode made me laugh harder than I had ever laughed before -- the first time I saw it. It's the one with Bill Holden in the Brown Derby, turning the tables on a fan (Lucy, in this case) and staring at her for so long she couldn't even remember how to eat spaghetti . Now when I watch it I know what's coming and don't laugh quite as hard. I still love it, though

2 many good ones 2 pick one fave. Vitameatavegamin,chocolate factory, wedding ring in the grill and Cheese on the plane are just few of my faves.She was brilliant!!

[looiecypher]

The one where she steals John Waynes footprints from outside Gruaman's Chinese Rest and then breaks them.

I assure you Judge Smails is all man!
I also love the one where the riding lawn mower runs away with her and she takes out all of her neighbor's prize winning tulips.

The fishing episode in Florida (I think) where Lucy goes to the fishmarket and buys a monster fish and tries to convince Ricky she caught it stands out to me.

All the one's previously listed are great. Also;

The one where she gets the loving cup stuck on er head.
The one where she mirrors Harpo Marx.
The one where Ricky finds out he's going to be a Papa.
The Babaloo song.

Did you know the opening song had lyrics?

I love Lucy and she loves me
We're as happy as two can be
Sometimes we quarrel but then
How we love making up again

Lucy kisses like no one can
She's my Mrs. and I'm her man
And life is heaven you see
'cause I love Lucy
Yes I love Lucy
and Lucy loves me


Sadly real life Ricky, Desi Arnaz, ran around on her. Also the network wanted them smoking during the show to promote the cig advertisers. I think Desi died of lung cancer.
