No doubt I'm in the minority but I found Lucy to be more irritating than funny. My favourite American funny woman is Carol Burnett, my favourite Brit funny woman is Dawn French and my favourite Canadian funny women are Luba Goy and Mary Walsh. Reply #2. Jul 03 09, 9:30 AM |

My favorites are the Vitameatavegamin commercial, the chocolate production line, and the one where she was stomping grapes. Reply #3. Jul 04 09, 7:15 AM |

I love watching I Love Lucy. I have some of the seasons on dvd and I still watch them every now and again. And of course the grape stomping one and the chocolate one is epic. Reply #4. Jul 09 09, 8:32 AM |

They were not shown very often here in the UK, mostly at obscure hours on BBC2, since the advent of cable, we dont get it at all, the channel bosses consider it too dated for a modern audience. It is good old fashioned humour, she was a very funny lady, but I can only watch an episode or two at the time, she does grate a bit after a while. Reply #5. Jul 09 09, 12:19 PM |

Yep. Lucille Ball was one of the all time greats. As was Carol Burnett. Reply #6. Jul 11 09, 9:40 PM |

Yes, Robin - definite favorites. Don't forget the episode when she tells him at the club that she is expecting. Or when she does have the baby and Ricky shows up in costume. Gee and Lucy and Ricky couldn't even share the same bed in those days! Reply #7. Jul 15 09, 11:22 PM |

I'm more partial to "The Lucy Show" than I am to "I Love Lucy" or "Here's Lucy". What distinguishes "The Lucy Show" from "I Love Lucy" is that Lucille Ball plays a more independent character who doesn't depend so heavily on one running thread to make the show work. The first season of "The Lucy Show" has been officially released in the United States, and I'll add it to my collection at some point. Reply #8. Jul 25 09, 9:37 PM |

I'm a huge Lucille Ball fan. I have all the "I Love Lucy" DVD's. I, also, have an "I Love Lucy" T-shirt and socks. Believe it or not, I even named my chihuahua "Lucy" after Lucille Ball. My all-time favorite Lucy is "Lucy is enciente." I, also, love when she goes to the hospital and has "Little Ricky," and Big Ricky faints. LOL! I could talk about Lucy for hours! Reply #9.

Only one episode is funny. The one where she gets drunk. Vitemeatavegimin or what ever. Truth is, she really was drunk. Reply #10. Jul 30 09, 1:44 AM |

It was peak viewing, and on all the time, when I was incredibly young. I enjoyed it then but I'm not sure I could watch her for long now. Here's Lucy in the Vitameatavegamin sketch, total about 11 minutes: 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe9UCZB-Mdk 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe9DY9fbAWI Reply #11. Jul 30 09, 4:04 AM |

Lucille Ball was a pretty smart woman. Not only did she have three very successful TV shows - she was basically on CBS every year between 1951 and 1974 - but she was the first woman to head a major American studio. Didn't do too bad, either, when she sold Desilu to Paramount. Reply #12. Aug 13 09, 6:24 PM |

I loved Lucy. I only wish her other shows would be put on TV here besides "I Love Lucy". Reply #13. Sep 13 09, 9:05 AM |

"I Love Lucy" was my baby sitter. My mother would plop me down in front of the TV to watch reruns while she would get ready to go to work. Those are some of my fondest memories. Reply #14. Sep 13 09, 1:39 PM |

I'm with Cym, I found her annoying. Nobody is funnier than Carol Burnett. Reply #15. Sep 13 09, 2:55 PM |

Thanks for the clip, Lesley! Gave me a good chuckle at work. You're right though, a little goes a long way...:~) Reply #16. Sep 13 09, 3:04 PM |

I Love Lucy, I don't know why Hallmark removed the show from their channel. Reply #19. Nov 05 09, 9:31 PM |
