Any Lucy fans here? Especially paging perhaps Americans since "I Love Lucy" is regarded the best/THE successful TV series in TV history, it's U.S. treasure, it's aired to new generations frequently. But feel free, the others living in different places than U.S., to tell something about the subject.
Shall start - discovered Lucille Ball TV work recently, really enjoyed "The Lucy Show". Thanks towards youtubers who give people to see full eps. Favorite seasons - each featuring Lucille with Vivian Vance who played her friend, neighbor, sidekick Ethel Mertz in "I Love Lucy". It's girl power b4 it went popular. Funny pair, Viv is funny in different way than Lucy. Speaking ILL, I'd seen documentary in youtube about Desilu Productions & been impressed by the fact that Desi Arnaz produced/is behind nearly each TV series at the time, including "Twilight Zone". Smart human business-wise. I paid attention to Lucille (still she's favorite) but gained respect towards Desi when seeing documentary. Besides, like his singing voice, especially "Cuban Pete", "Granada", "Cheek To Cheek", "Made For Each Other" (in final song in list he sings with croon style - fabulously). It's rare when I like accents but alongside Nico's, Desi's Cuban accent is cool. Somebody posted short "full eps" clips of ILL. I.e. 25 minute ep cut to the 9 minute ep to give general idea what the ep is about. It's better than zero clips but the shortening doesn't quite yet helps at liking the series. But Lucy & Ethel = very funny comediennes (which is rare). Fan vids people shared featuring 2 girls = really hilarious. Desi adds something funny too (Ricky), ditto William Frawley (Fred).
Besides funny, really fun to hear/see dancing/singing, this is great dance sequence, it looks really ahead of time, like dance today's kids could cook up. Lucy is really quick study, she doesn't move inferior than that guy, professional dancer (Edit: hm, linked youtube video isn't available here, yet works thru youtube site):
Look forward to see discussions. Anything Lucy (ILL, "The Lucy Show", "Here's Lucy"). If possible, what's your favorite scenes/eps, everybody?
