This is not easy.

1. Lucy Hunts for Uranium (probably the best one)
2. Lucy Makes Room for Danny
3. Lucy goes to Mexico
4. Lucy goes to Alaska
5. Lucy's Summer Vacation
6. Milton Berle Hides Out at the Ricardos' (the crane part is sooo scary 0.0)
7. The Ricardos go to Japan
8. Lucy Wins a Racehorse
9. The Celebrity Next Door
10. Lucy Takes a Cruise to Havana
11. Lucy goes to Sun Valley
12. Lucy Wants a Career (I love how Lucy refuses to boil the lobster on TV. I would never be able to dunk an innocent living thing in scalding water either, that's pure savagery....)
13. Lucy Meets the Moustache

1) Lucy Hunt for Uranium and Lucy's Summer Vacation. I can't remember the other episodes (which I had); however, those two were the funniest I remember so they are tied for first place.

The Celebrity Next Door With Tallulah Bankhead is definitely Numero Uno with me. All the others can take whatever position they like on the list.

I do not agree that the hour long episodes are some of the best. They tend not to be as good as the original series. However, the one scene I think comes pretty close to being classic is Lucy doing chrades in the court room for Judge Gale Gordon. "He threw SNOW in your FACE" Hysterical!! Also when Gordon called Fred "a MISERABLE TIGHTWAD". It is easy to see why Lucy wanted Gordon for all her subsequent series.

I would probably go with the same top 2 as Wonka399 because they were such memorable episodes to me personally. However I would rank the Milton Berle episode much higher for the same reason.

[–] kingarthurup 13 years ago

what is the one with talulah bankhead called? and why is it never listed?

[–] Pipchick 10 years ago

It's called "The Celebrity Next Door"

I would rank the episodes thus:

Top three favorites –

1] The Ricardo's Take a Trip to Japan
2] Lucy Goes to Alaska– This could almost be tied for first place!
3] The Celebrity Next Door

Bottom three least favorites –

1] Lucy Wants a Career
2] Lucy in Sun Valley
3] Lucy Meets The Mustache--it's not that this is really a bad episode, but it's just so melancholy, knowing that it's the last time the Ricardos and the Mertz' would be onscreen together, and the fact that Lucy and Desi were getting a divorce. It's almost too much to take.

The middle seven episodes (not favorite nor least favorite) –

1] Lucy Hunts Uranium
2] Lucy Goes to Mexico
3] Lucy Wins A Race Horse
4] Lucy Makes Room for Danny
5] Milton Berle Hides out at the Ricardo's
6] Lucy's Summer Vacation
7] Lucy Takes A Cruise To Havana
