Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    I Love Lucy

    What was the title of the very last episode (this includes the "Comedy Hours") the cast of I Love Lucy made together?'I Love Lucy' Quiz

      Lucy Meets the Moustache. For me, this has to be one of the saddest episodes of the whole series. Not only was it the very last show with these four wonderful actors/actresses, but it also was the end of an amazing relationship between two people. For two people who saved so many marriages, it's a shame that they were unable to save their own. :(

    Who was the youngest (in real life) of the main four characters?'I Love Lucy' Quiz

      Desi Arnaz. Lucy and Desi were 6 years apart age-wise in real life. William Frawley was the oldest.

    What tobacco company's cigarettes did Lucy and Ricky smoke in the show?'I Love Lucy' Quiz

      Philip Morris . They were the sponsor of the show. There is even one episode where Lucy disguises herself/dresses up as the mascot for the cigarrette company.

    In the episode where the four main characters appear in a rodeo, what kind of show does Ricky originally think he's scheduled to appear in?'I Love Lucy' Quiz

      Radio. Just one of many places where Ricky/Desi's accent makes the show that much better. Listen for some of his other slips of both the tongue and the ear. :)

    Which I Love Lucy episode is considered one of the most classic?'I Love Lucy' Quiz

      Job Switching. This is/was based upon a poll of viewers top 10 favorite episodes of the series. As shown on a TV Land Channel special about "I Love Lucy".

    In the episode 'The Ballet', if you listen very carefully when Lucy gets a pie in the face, you can hear who laughing in the background?'I Love Lucy' Quiz

      Desi Arnaz. You have to listen very carefully as his laughter is just barely audible over the laughter of the audience. But it's a classic laugh, and hard to miss if you're really listening. :)

    What is the name of the actor who played Little Ricky?'I Love Lucy' Quiz

      Keith Thibodeaux . They never displayed his name in the credits. And after doing some reading, I believe he is somewhat bitter about never getting much (if any) credit for being on the show for as long as he was.
