Lucille Ball's reaction faces are priceless. But there really are no serious goals, just the funny moments of a woman who gets into scrapes with her friends and how she gets out of them.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-58104155035848615312020-08-09T09:41:41.366-04:002020-08-09T09:41:41.366-04:00My favorite is the one where Ricky thinks he's...My favorite is the one where Ricky thinks he's losing his hair, and Lucy comes up with a restorative "treatment".

And pretty much the entire road trip to California. Ooh, I also love the train episode when they're coming home from California and the drama leading up to the train tickets.<br /><br />I'm glad you bought the DVDs to share with your kids.

My favorites are "Job Switching" (have you ever seen a list without it?) and the one where Lucy thinks she's won a lot of new furniture so she and Ethel decide to redo the wallpaper.

I do like workplace comedies (B99, Parks & Rec) because there's more serious goals mixed in with the silliness, I guess? Not really sure.

Almost all the Hollywood ones are fantastic. I also love the one where they keep stuffing the guests into the closet, and the "we're all odd, aren't we" numerology one, as we quote that one line constantly. Also, the one where Lucy tells Ricky she's pregnant during his show is very sweet.DKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-76287085903445136562020-08-06T18:39:26.213-04:002020-08-06T18:39:26.213-04:00Lucy's Schedule is one of my favorites too!
