I Love Lucy

[Theta Sigma]

This morning after watching The Twilight Zone, found out that Fox Classics on Australian pay tv will start showing I Love Lucy on Monday July 2. Exact time still not yet known.

I have been a Lucy fan as long as I can remember and I look forward to seeing the show again after a long time as it has not been on Australian TV for a long time (although The Lucy Show & Here's Lucy were on some years ago).

Welcome back Lucy.

I Love Lucy will start on Fox Classics on Monday July 2 6pm with repeats on the following weekday at 6:30am and 2pm.

Also showing on Saturdays from July 7 at 7:30pm.

New Neighbors:
This one guest stars Hayden Rourke later Dr Bellows in I Dream of Jeannie.
This ones has a couple (which Rourke plays the husband) who moves into an apartment owned by the Mertzes. They are actors who were rehearsing for a play in which they play a couple of murderers. Unfortunately Lucy hears their rehearsals and thought they were for real and hilarity really ensues.

Marf, what I would give to be able to see it...I haven't been able to see many I Love Lucy episodes, but every single one I have seen has given my funny bone a good work out, especially the factory one .

Can't wait to see the factory one.

Meanwhile the episode I saw last night was The Mustache:
Ricky gets a mustache, Lucy doesn't approve and while her plan to have Ricky get rid of the mustache succeeds the plan ultimately backfires on her.
She really got herself into a pickle.

I was wondering if I Love Lucy is on DVD in Australia? Love to get the first season.

I checked with ezydvd.com.au and only The Lucy Show is available:

Latest episode that was on Fox Classics, Gossip:
The husbands and wives are betting who can give in to talking about gossip. Quite funny who turned out to be the losers and how they got themselves out of fulfilling the bet.

Someone has just told me that I Love Lucy DVDs have been released in Australia. Have no idea why it is not listed at ezydvd.com.au.

Weird. I'll look on ebay. Thanks for the help Theta.

You're Welcome.

Latest episode that was on, Pioneer Women:
Just as with the previous episode, the husbands and wives get themselves into a bet. This time who can do things without the use of modern conveniences as they pretend that it is the year 1900.
Funniest bit was the end result of Lucy making bread.

Ricky Thinks He's Going Bald:
As the title says Ricky thinks he is going bald.
Overall this was not a bad episode but not one I suspect that goes to the near top for the series.
Lucy tries to stop Ricky from worrying about his hair but to no avail despite what she attempts at the end of the episode.

If ypu were referring to the candy factory I saw it last night in the episode Job Switching. I go into the candy factory shortly.


Love Fred's euphemism of earners and spenders - husbands and wives.
What a disaster the rice has become.
Now to the candy factory, oh my absolutely hilarious Lucy and Ethel trying to stop every unwrap candy getting pass them. Absolute cracker.

Lucy Becomes a Sculptress:
Lucy decides to explores her artistic side in this episode and it really does not go smoothly.
Poor Fred having to pose for her and it is funny when she had to present a bust of her head to an art critic. Oh my the bust really looks real.

The Indian Show:
Lots of fun seeing Lucy as an Indian in the said show and how she managed to take care of little Ricky at the same time.
The songs at the show were pretty good and funny how Lucy and Ethel when two Indians showed up at the Ricardos.

The Ricardos Change Apartments:
As the title says it is about the Ricardos changing apartments.
Quite funny Ricky's pronounciation of "switching" as "swishing" as well as seeing him go down the slide.
Also funny on how the episode ends.

Change of time for Australian viewers:
The voiceover announced from next week (Saturday October 6) that I Love Lucy will change time from 6pm weeknights to 6pm weekends.

In a somewhat confusing message from Fox Classics when announcing they were moving I Love Lucy from 6pm weeknights to 6pm weekends, I have read the episode descriptions for the episodes to be shown on the weekend and I found out that it is actually episodes that Fox Classics had already shown before.

However the forthcoming episodes is still being shown but after midnight on Tuesday to Saturday (exact time varies from morning to morning). This reminds me of when the show was last on the ABC more than a decade ago when it was also early in the mornings.

Well at least I still get to see more of the forthcoming episodes.

The Charm School:
The girls decide to have a makeover with their outward appearance by going to charm school as a result of the boys being mesmerised by a model who was dating one of their friends.
The first name of the owner of the charm school is Phoebe. Whether it is a concidence or not Phoebe is the name of one of the major characters in Charmed.
The new look for Lucy and Ethel is absolutely shocking giving a very big jump to my system.
