This show is very much "alive" for a lot of people. Over the years it has found new generations of viewers.
Remember gb that I told you I work with people needing intellectual or physical support? The house I am in has three guys. I work the overnight shift. ILL comes on the Hallmark channel at 5:00 A.M. The channel airs about five episodes. I always put Lucy on and when the guys wake up, they love to watch it. They love it. They just howl with laughter at Lucy's antics.
It's funny. Sometimes one of them will call out to me if I'm in the kitchen. "Come here. Look what Lucy's doing!"
They even laugh at some of those scenes that a few of us long time viewers have become jaded with, like the five foot long loaf of bread coming out of the oven.
They have no idea I've seen these episodes a hundred times. I've told them I have all the seasons on DVD. This show has some timeless comedy.
They ask me a lot of questions about the show and the actors.
I told them that Lucy and Desi were married in real life.
One of the guys asked me later, "So, Mr Ricardo was really married to Lucy?"
They really get into the show.
