My parents fought each other constantly with the exception of the night I Love Lucy appeared on TV. After a half hour laugh fest, they would drink coffee, have a smoke and go to bed. My brothers and I will forever be grateful to Lucille Ball and Desi for making our lives tolerable if only for a moment. RIP Lucy.
I watched this non stop going through cancer treatments. It felt warm and fuzzy in a world that was crumbling around me. I’ll be forever grateful for these reruns.
Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel were my babysitters. My mom used to park my playpen in front of our TV, the kind with a huge wood cabinet and tiny black and white screen. Lucy and company would keep me entertained and out of trouble. When I was school age and stayed home for an occasional sick day, I knew I’d feel better after watching the afternoon I Love Lucy’s reruns. I still love those shows and characters just as much. They created so much joy.
"Yeah, and they're getting moldier all the time..." this show had such witty, great writing! Awesome punch lines to match the brilliant physical comedy of it's amazing actors. Best sitcom ever.
I always loved this show. My grandma got me into it. She and I would watch this show all the time but she's passed away but I still watch it to cheer me up.
Shes such a classic!!!! My nana used to love watching I love lucy. I never knew how funny she was until my nan passed away in 2015! I miss her so much!!!! Live your life to the fullest people. Tell your loved ones you love them.
Thanks to tube to bring my childhood back to life, not that i miss my childhood, it's the simplicity in everything that was there... even in the black n white Lucy show, the most beautiful feelings are cherished. Love lucy
The part with Fred asking where his glasses are is just like my dad haha. He does the same thing too and of course they are always on top of his head. Fred is like my dad haha. So funny.
My dad too. Just yesterday he forgot it while going out and screamed for around 10 minutes and searched for it for 30 minutes afterward, then at last remembered it on top of his head.
@@tenfour10-400 i doubt they were doing much of that. Their relationship was antagonistic on the show. Seems like it would be a pretty sexless marriage
I liked how Ethel wasnt conceited. She was just an everyday woman and she was ok with that. Its nice to see people like her character that are comfortable in their own skin and can handle insults without it being the end of the world
The way she knew Ricky too well and Ethel knew Fred as well. That's how you know you been married for too damn long. Y'all know each other's routine lol. This was so funny.
@@barbarabuonincontro1990 Married people know each other now. If someone cheats, they do not love you. That has nothing to do with a certain time period. You or someone else married the wrong person. Stop blaming that on the decade.
@@Michelle-pn9xt what the hell are you talking about and being so defensive dummy? I was talking about married couple that know each other so well cuz they have been married for too damn long. I wasn't being rude or anything moron. Get a life. Wow. Lol
@@Michelle-pn9xt haha I feel sorry for your hubby old hag. You sound like a crazy person. Haha bless your heart. I hope your hubby ain't cheating on you. But on the other hand I hope he is. Have a nice day. 🤣
I have watched each episode of I Love Lucy many times' and each time I enjoy it and laugh as if I've never seen it before. Best show ever! I will always love I Love Lucy!
Ive always wanted to be like Lucy since I was little. Have an amazing Ethel I can just have coffee with and talk about the stupid things men do. And to have a loving Ricky that may argue with may but still easily make up with me
I know that I Love Lucy. Had a 67% share of the total audience. In that time slot. In the 3 rd season 1953-54. No other #1 series ever before or since. Has ever achieved that honor. It only got knocked out of #1. By the $ 64,000 Question 1955-56.
So many people feel they Seinfeld was the greatest sitcom of all time, but I’ve been a Lucy fan since I started watching the reruns around 1969 and I will go to my grave proclaiming that I Love Lucy is the best sitcom ever!
I have loved this show since childhood! Every episode is hilarious.Imagine watching this show when new, during the tight assed 1950's...it would have been even more hilarious!! Many Americans refused to leave their homes until that show was over.
Michelle Post i can understand that ! I am 55 and i am french, we have never had i love lucy, neither lucy show on french television, i saw i love lucy for the first time when i was 30 , during the fly in a plane when i went in California, i was amazed, i went immediately in a video store and bought all the saisons of i love lucy … since then, i watch one or two episodes every week, i do not get tired, i love this show so much… my favorite one, when i am down that’s my best cure, lucy was really 👍but i love very much ethel , and desi was a kind and generous gentle man, all 4 was a great team and i am very happy to have taken this plane. This show and those 4 wonderful person will always have a tremendous place in my life 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Wrong... Fred and Ricky were not in the shot at the same time, Fred went back to his apartment rather late but he was not in the shot when Ricky was in the kitchen, Ricky was walking through the living room.
@@Michelle-pn9xt obviously you don't know the difference between a SHOT and a SCENE. A shot is a single frame and a Scene contains many shots. The kitchen situation is the SCENE and when Desi walks into the kitchen there is a single SHOT of him, William is not in that shot, William is in the SCENE as you can see his arm through the window. By the time Desi is near the window, William is no longer visible in the SCENE or SHOT.
30 years gone and still funny. Thank you Lucy for leaving this show and the other two Lucy shows behind! They don't make comedy like this anymore. Comedy that makes you laugh without being dirty and lewd. Thank you Lucy for leaving this show behind.
@Peaches J You are extremely stupid. Right? Yes, you are.. Yes, you are.. He said thirty years gone and still funny. The show is still on the air, so that can she be funny. She is no longer alive, so she is not funny or anything else. She WAS funny when she was alive. Do you understand what I am saying now? Dummkopf!
When I was a little girl me and my mom, I was about 2-3 (yes I can remember when I was that little) we’d watch I love Lucy EVERY NIGHT before bed 🥰. I had a drug addict for a father who was never around, his absence was mostly due to him being incarcerated. My mom would scratch my head while I laid on her lap while we watched I love Lucy together. I can honestly say those were the best times of my life with my mom. She’d laugh and laugh. Something she didn’t do too often just because of life at the moment. She was and still is a great mom! Thank u Ms Lucille Ball for such great memories when life just wasn’t so tasteful or sweet. I’ll forever love Lucy for that!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Fred and Ricky are cut from the same mold" "Yep, they're getting molder" ! I love Lucy was my favorite and I raised my daughter on I Love Lucy...she is now 18. She knows the shows by heart !
Never did I realize, whether watching this at home or on a sick day from school or in my backpack in 10th grade math glass on my watchman.......I would someday know all too well what a "rut" is. Talk about rut like, I have seen every episode enough times to nearly enact the entire half hour without much script help and I have not watched a full episode in probably a good 15 or 20 years. It reminds me too much of how simple and greater things were...so i can't
In answer to Michelle's comment. I love Lucy will be 68 years old this fall, but Lucille Ball has been gone 30 years. She died April 26th 1989. No one has made a mark on comedy the way she has. Gone these 30 years and still so very funny! Just watch all 3 of her TV shows and the films she left behind. She was good in drama too!
@@SyobonPro Don't knock it, darling, it's destiny. Most of the I Love Lucy episodes are priceless, same with the even BETTER sequel, The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour (aka The Lucille Ball/ Desi Arnaz Show)
what's so funny about that?? the poor old guy was probably in the first stages of Alzheimer's.. although doctors didn't know what that was in the 1950s.. they called it going "senile"..
The thing is, this kind of confusion happens to little kids (see the adorable “I can’t find my goggles!” baby) and teens and adults new to wearing glasses. I had moments where I kept looking and looking and it turned out I was wearing them when I first got prescription glasses. He might be suffering from Alzheimer’s or he might be having trouble adjusting to needing them to read!
The old guy? You dont know his name? Wow. Interesting. I guess you must be really young or in another country because everyone here knows the main characters of i love Lucy
Huy Tran Most shows of 50’s and 60’s need to replace today’s wannab funny shows on TV!!! A lot are in black and white but that’s fine w me. The clean, cleaver humor is worth it!!!
