Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour
Well....as dear PJ knows (and, yes, at this point, I consider her dear to me, although I don't
know if I'll ever get the honor of meeting my Lucy/Bewitched cohort), I was knocked to the
ground last week when I realized I had thrown out (yes, tossed in the trash) my fourth
disc of season three of ILL!! Pure mistake, I assure you.
I knew right away I had to replace it. But being someone who is from the era of rushing
out to the store to instantly replace something (rather than waiting several days via
EBay), I purchased the ENTIRE series (again) at Target. It was $44.99, before tax.
I look at it this way: I now have backup copies of the show (minus those third season
offerings), as well as ALL the Lucy/Desi Comedy Hours.
I watched (and thoroughly enjoyed) the two I adore: "The Celebrity Next Door" and "Lucy
Makes Room For Daddy." Both are hilarious, and it was refreshing to watch them again on
big screen DVD, instead of Youtube. I next watched "Lucy Hunts Uranium" and even found
THAT a decent episode.
Now I'm stuck with the OTHERS. I refuse to not watch them at least once, but know so
many are pretty stinky.
Does anyone have any suggestions on which ones I should watch next?
I should say that, last week, I ran an episode of "The Lucy Show" on Youtube. Here, Lucy
lies to get the next day off, so she can shop at a department store with "Mary Jane." Lucy
wins all sorts of appliances, gets her name in the papers, then has to explain to Mr. Mooney
why she was shopping when she said she was sick.
I didn't laugh once. It was just plain awful. Pathetically so.
Lucy must have a few, last, final moments in these Lucy/Desi shows, what with Lucy, Ricky,
Fred and Ethel.
Any recommendations before I dive in?
