Lucy and Vivian were always funny together. One of my favorite show is the one where they are up on the roof. They are trying to put up the tv antenna. Way before people had cable.
@@eloiseockert9233 in the very first 3 episodes of I Love Lucy, the Ethel character does have on decent clothes and her hair is permed and modern for 1951. It was later on in season one that the running gag became Ethel's cheap wardrobe and how stingy Fred was with his money.
The days when America was great! An example for the world: the way people used to behave, to get dressed, to have real education, to treat each other respectfully 🗽🤗🗽🗽
This was a great plot. You see many different plots and topics used and recycled with many tv shows but this one seems unique and I’ve never seen it redone.
Two of my favorite actresses together. We don’t have TV shows like we used to. They just don’t make them like this anymore. Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance. Those two were a gold mine together.. I hate the both of them are gone now. But hopefully they’re in heaven together making everybody laugh and having a great time.
@@azia5051 That's not news! They've been dead a long time! Vivian died in 1979; Lucy in 1989. That means anyone under the age of 33 was BORN after Lucy's death.
I agree. What a fantasic comedic duo they were! IDK if I believe in an afterlife, much less Heaven, but if there is such a state of being, then I'm sure they were reunited and are happy & at peace.
When Viv says "if that's all you think of my friendship and my honesty I AM going to sue you" and she says "Oh WOULDN'T I" I almost expected Lucy to say "why Ethel Mertz.....why ETHEL MERTZ!" 😂🤣
@@eloiseockert9233 She and Ethel wore pants lots of times in I Love Lucy! They also did the wallpapering episode. There might be other examples that I can't remember. Wasn't there one where Lucy was driving a riding lawn mower when they lived in Connecticut & she accidentally ran over her neighbor's prize tulips?
@@DonnaBrooks Yes that is correct. But when she went out (aka taking baby Ricky to the park, then the episode where she showed up unexpectedly at Carolyn Appleby's, and when the 4 were playing Bridge - Lucy tells the truth) all dressed up to the tee. All 4 women when playing Bridge. There was the Loving Cup episode where Ethel stated she was NOT riding on the subway in her blue jeans)...now it's ripped up jeans as fashion And just about anything goes...
On ILL, (in the '50s!), they just didn't wear pants ALL the time, whereas Lucy is always in pants in this show, except for when she dressed up. She pretty much had to wear pants to do the kind of PHYSICAL comedy she did!!
My favorite episode of the Lucy show us when they are stuck in the shower. Lucy said where is Loyld Bridges when need him sorry about the spelling. They funniest episodes.
I don't think she even knew just how awesome she was.I grew up as a child watching her when I was in elementary school.I am 68 and I watch her almost everyday.I love the comedy and good clean fun.No violence ,sex, or cussing.The shows on T.V. today could take a lesson from her.There are hardly any comedies on t.v. today not to mention westerns unless you watch old reruns.I don't mean to criticize but the writers in Hollywood need to bring comedies back and good clean romance.Lucy and Vivian Vance were awesome together.I still watch Burns and Allen and Love that Bob too.Good old days.I also am from the generation that grew up watching old Disney movies We saw them once until they came on T.V.now kids can own a Disney Movie or stream it on a phone.
I always love I Love Lucy. My favorite is the old black and white The Lucy Show. It was about the time woman were moving out into the world of business Lucy and Vivian work now and then
@@cold10er If you happen to have a older CRT television (the squareish boxy ones we grew up with before the 90s), many of the color sets had an option to turn color off. Today we call it a "filter".
That wasn’t uncommon back then when phone extensions were so expensive (Bell Telephone charged you monthly for extra extensions). You got one phone and put a nice long cord on it.
This was the early '60s when doctors still made house calls - by then end of the '60s doctors as a rule discontinued house calls - now the only ones who get the privilege of house calls are those in high office, possibly their immediate family and those who are wealthy enough to engage a doctor practicing concierge medicine.
Lucy hand-picked Elliott Lewis (google him!) as her producer. When Vivian Vance left the show, Elliott's wife, Mary Jane Croft, replaced her as Lucy's sidekick. Lucy, Elliott, and Mary Jane had all worked extensively in radio, during the 1940s-50s.
When Viv called her lawyer regarding collecting past due alimony from her ex Ralph, I'd think that she would have been also awarded child support for Sherman - wonder if he paid that up to date? Usually divorced women would be more likely to be awarded child support and only temporarily awarded alimony - especially these days. Back then it was accepted/expected for divorced women to stay home with their children (at least in the US) but now they are expected to go to work. I don't know about back then but courts now have the authority to garnish things as wages and tax refunds from deadbeat dads - oftentimes, this is generated when the mom needs to file for public assistance due to the failure to receive back alimony and/or child support.
جدتي عمرها ٨٠ سنه كانت تشاهد لوسي عندما كانت جدتي شاب وطلبت مني أن أبحث عن لوسي هنا في اليوتيوب لقد وجدتها لها والآن تشاهد لوسي وجدتي تسترجع ذكريات جميله وجدتي سعيده نشاهد مسلسل لوسي معاً💖
Lucy’s character didn’t have enough money to do that, though. She always had to stretch out her monthly trust fund check and depended on Viv’s rent money to help pay the household bills.
Lucille Ball was one of the greatest comedians of our generation. And gorgeous woman and very just wonderful woman. But her shows would’ve never been great like it was without Vivian Vance. It was so sad when Vivian Vance passed away. All the shows they did together were amazing. But after Vivian Vance passed away Lucille Ball shows weren’t the same.. And Vivian Vance was one of the greatest actresses of our generation also. Vivian Vance was very talented and beautiful in her own right.. Her last marriage she said it was the happiest marriage she ever had. Even though her husband was gay.
The Lucy character was so hard up am sure that the house was heavily mortgaged. If that was true then the banker Mr. Barnsdahl should have insisted that an escrow account be set up (to pay for homeowners' insurance and property taxes) when Lucy said "pooh!" about renewing the coverage. Then if Viv asserted a claim for medical expenses and pain & suffering from her injury slipping on Jerry's toy car that was in Lucy's kitchen, a claim could be filed against that insurance - of course then, the carrier is liable to raise the premiums seeing that she's a worse risk then anticipated, but Lucy could then raise Viv's rent.... Like someone else suggested, Lucy could waive Viv's back rent to offset Viv's medical expenses but only IF Viv signed a waiver holding Lucy and the bank harmless from any future expenses from the injury - it should be signed in front of a notary or other neutral party. After awhile she could make up the lost income in part by raising Viv's rent. Also, I would have withheld Jerry's allowance for a couple weeks - even though it wouldn't come near paying for Viv's medical expenses - but to teach him a lesson; likewise, for whoever's skate it was that Viv tripped over at the end.
In this show two single mothers lived together with their three children. This is kind of like Raven’s Home or I guess I should say Raven’s Home is similar to The Lucy Show.
In real life Vivian Vance never had any children. She was married 4times. Her last husband was either bi sexual or gay. She thought she could change him Except he was gay she new it.
I love this truthfulness Ms Ball. A tidy house without children's presence is sterilisation of imagination in play. Allow the children to play. One can't play in museum glass case.
Lucy was always the funniest of them both. Vivian was always the sidekick. I always thought Vivian could my that one boyfriend. It was always Eddie Collins. Lucy went out with several men while show was good on.
Lucy and Ethel keeps saying good friends don't Sue each other you see courtrooms filled with people that supposed to be good friends sueing each other all the time sometimes you hear them say she was just like a sister to me or he was just like a brother to me until this happened they sue them for the insurance and they sue them for the medical bills or they sue them for some other reason if things did not work out like they planned it too and one of them went back on their word
Sad but true - even relatives do this - just watch any of the court shows where people go to have their small claims cases arbitrated. Now people in the early 20th century were way less litigious - in the early 60's people became more litigious but not nearly as so as they are now. That's way homeowners and auto insurance premiums are so high, not to mention medical expenses.
I always wonder if a friend could sue a good friend. That's funny that happened to me. My cousin used be my payee for my disability. The thing was she would disagree with what I ask for? We used be very good friends. Now we have a strain relationship.
I read that Vivian Vance ask for a raise. Lucy said no. I heard she decided to quit. Because she had married her 3 husband. Wanting to stay with her husband.
I'm not familiar with this show ... it's actually quite funny! No matter what their character's names are, they will always be Lucy and Ethyl! Couldn't help but to notice Lucy's lawyer was the accountant who put her on a strict budget in one of those classic I Love Lucy's.
Ethel. "Ethyl" is a chemistry term. ILL was both blessing & curse to Vance. It made her wealthy enough to retire, if she'd wanted, but people saw "Ethel", not Vivian, which makes ME feel sad & frustrated, so I can only imagine how annoying that must have been for her.
Yes, this show was very funny! Some of the early eps are as good as I Love Lucy! (They had the same writers!) Watch the ones called, "Lucy Buys a Sheep", "Lucy & the Electric Mattress", & "Lucy Becomes a Kangaroo." Those are my 3 faves. The latter 2 are particularly hilarious!
Lucy didn't have a lawyer, that was Mr.Barnstall and he is actually Lucy's banker, he is the executor of her trust fund for the first season of this show, Viv was the one with a lawyer, he was never shown and she only has a lawyer because of her divorce, she was just trying to get her back alimony from her ex husband Ralph and she was just playing a joke on Lucy because Lucy thought she would ever sue her. However you are correct that the man who plays Mr.Barnstall did appear as Ricky's new business manager in the first episode of the fourth season of I Love Lucy entitled The Business Manager. He also played in the episodes Lucy Tells The Truth and Staten Island Ferry. Fun Fact: Vivian Vance was the first ever women to play in a television show as a divorcee with her betrayal as Vivian Bagley in this show. I love Lucy very much and she's a star and she shines very bright, but I don't believe it is fair to Vivian Vance that she always be called Ethel, her betrayal as Ethel Mertz was perfection, however she also shines in other roles and just in general, she played this role very well, the reason she used her real first name in this show is because she was tired of everyone she saw or talked to or met calling her Ethel, she wanted people to stop calling her that, so she insisted on using her real first name in this show. She was more than just a character in a show and I believe she deserves our respect. She was an incredibly talented woman and a true star who worked very hard and made so many people smile and laugh and admire her, she was a real class act who spend her screen time playing behind Lucy and never getting the true recognition she deserved. She is and will always be a true Icon of The Golden Age Of Hollywood along with Lucille Ball The Comedy Queen.
the Lucy show with Vivian Vance is one of my all time favorite of the Lucy series.
mine too; the guest list was pretty impressive!!
During the pandemic these youtube shows kept me together.
100 episodes with Vivian Vance were the best episodes.
So funny to think of all the shows that used the bell routine right up there with the honeymooners shows being used in every sitcom that EVER WAS.
They used the up and down the stairs with Lucy bit on I Love Lucy when she was in Italy...Mrs. Ricardo, telefono!! it's still funny here..
This should have always been The Lucy & Viv show.
Simply hilarious. Lucy & Viv kept me rolling with laughter.
The Good Ole day's of television in America ♡♡♡
Yes. When America was great, the entire society, the way people used to behave, to get dressed. Not just the television
Before Laverne & Shirley there was Lucy & Viv.
Lucy and her writers are brilliant.

THETE WILL NEVER BE ANY BETTER COMEDIAN THAN LUCY!! SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE!!!
finally, the Vivian/Ethel character has a nice hairdo, better clothes and is equal to Lucy.
Vivian placed that in her contract plus she wanted to go by her real name.
@@eloiseockert9233
in the very first 3 episodes of I Love Lucy, the Ethel character does have on decent clothes and her hair is permed and modern for 1951. It was later on in season one that the running gag became Ethel's cheap wardrobe and how stingy Fred was with his money.

In I Love Lucy when the group went to ,"Ethel's" hometown she was the center of attention.
@@eloiseockert9233 One of my favorites!😀😀
4:57 Lucy just described Charles Lane, the actor who played Mr. Barnesdall. He did a lot of guest spots and did a helluva job in every one.

Not as well as Gale Gordon
I liked the color episodes.
Such clean comedy.

@@nybsbfan18 They did that to really show off their new color episodes. Lucy Show did that too. Nothing was majority black or white
In general?
That's the longest phone cord I ever seen
That wasn’t uncommon back then when phone extensions were so expensive (Bell Telephone charged you monthly for extra extensions). You got one phone and put a nice long cord on it.
Similar to when the two couples sued one another over the used washing machine, on I love Lucy. Lol
These are just SOOOO classic. I needed a smile this morning, and was very much rewarded. Excellent job as always, ladies!.
Me too! God bless us all and as many late Father used to say, Long may we wave!
I've never seen this episode before!! Too funny!
'I love Lucy" and all the rest of the 'Lucy's' shows I could watch her shows 24/7 and all of Shirley Temple,'s, too 24/7
A Doctor calling for a sprained ankle. Those were the days!!
$$$ 7.50 for a house call!!

Lucy was always the funniest of them both. Vivian was always the sidekick. I always thought Vivian could my that one boyfriend. It was always Eddie Collins. Lucy went out with several men while show was good on.
I always felt, in real life, if Gale Gordon wasn't happily married after Lucy & Desi split Gale and Lucy were perfect for each other!
I knew at some point. Lucy would boil over
