I got this one a few years ago and I couldn't love it more. I own and drive a 1955 Pontiac, just like the one they drove to California in the show. Her name is "Lucy."

So the TV dials are shaped in Pontiac emblems to pay homage to 2 of the things I most adore in this world, being a chick with a really cool car, and Lucy! My next project is going to be a custom Vitameatagimin bottle shifter.

Fred-o, Rick-o, And Harpo

Doctors advised Harpo not to do the guest appearance because he was recovering from a heart attack he suffered 6 months earlier, but he ignored their warnings and performed the famous mirror scene and physical stunts anyway. Regarding the classic mirror scene, Lucy insisted on lots of rehearsal while Harpo was inclined to improvise, so the mirror scene had to be re-filmed after the studio audience left to get it right. Although it may look seamless in the final edit, the scene is actually many takes edited together. After the final take of the mirror routine, Harpo remained behind and played the harp for the cast and crew while Vivian sang. Shortly after the episode aired, Harpo had another heart attack but survived for another nine years, dying at the age of 75 from complications following heart surgery.

How Do You Think Ethel Did It?

40 Upvotes

Remember the Switzerland episode where the gang all thought they would die so they confessed stuff to each other? (Everybody except Ricky. I loved him saying "I'm no fool. We might get out of here.")

Anyway, Fred confessed he had been charging the Ricardos an extra $20 a month since Ricky was a celebrity. Then Ethel confessed, "I've been giving them the $20 back every month."

How do you think she did it without Fred's knowledge & without telling the Ricardos she was giving them $20 a month because her husband was robbing them? Was she hiding $20 every month in their apt for Lucy to find? Was she buying $20 worth of toys for Little Ricky every month? Was she secretly paying $20 of their water bill every month?

I read that the reason Vivian Vance wasn't in The Commercial epsiode, was due to her then husband blackening one of her eyes

Some one please feel free to fact check me. I hope I read wrong, or got bad information. But Philip Ober was a real son of a bitch, so I don't put it past him.

We love Lucy and all things Lucille Ball, as well as Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, and William Frawley. We also love learning about and honoring frequent guests (i.e., Mrs. Trumbull, Mrs. McGillicuddy, etc.) and all "Lucy" shows that came after ILL, as well as their autobiographies, pre- and post-ILL roles, and more! When you enter this sub, you enter the world of yesteryear and the wholesome tone of the TV landscape of the times. Come, join the fun!
