What you say is so true. I’m 64 and grew-up watching I Lo🫶🏻e Lucy, Andy Griffith and all the other magnificent amazing shows of the 50’s - 80’s (+ some 90’s) was the greatest times when it was GOOD entertainment like I just said in another comment my brothers and I we didn’t have computers, cellphones and video games back in those times. I truly miss those times family huddled together around the good 0le’ fashioned B&W Television watching I Lo🫶🏻e Lucy and other shows but Lucy was The Best I never got tired of watching her and still watch her on a daily basis. And I Loved and Adored those who played Fred and Ethel Mertz (Btw, here’s a [True Fact-Check] about William Frawley & Vivian Vance, Rumors have been said for yearsss they did NOT like each other at all which is so true, so much that when Vivian heard News of his passing in 1966’ she was @ a restaurant having a meal she called out to everyone - “Everyone, Drinks on ME” William (Bill) was known to not be a nice man offscreen in real life, he was an alcoholic but he never drank when recording on the set. He had tremors regarding to his drinking while recording on the set is why he was known to always hiding his hand especially his righthand in his pocket. To: William Frawley, Vivian Vance, Desi and Lucy may You 🫶🏻🙏🛐💐R.I.P.💐🛐🙏🫶🏻 💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕 I LO💕E LUCY

Im only 40, but young people are missing out on life itself. Watching I love Lucy is like an incredible escape. Im envious of you that you got to watch it live as the show was initially running. I hope all is well :)

What you call innocence was merely censorship. Life itself was just as dirty and messy, even moreso than now.

Yes I did see humble in Lucy, even in a Dick Cavat interview with Carol Burnette & Lucy she would defer to Carol. They spread the joy around meaning gave credit where credits is due. Good for them and makes us love them more.

Well stated ❤️

She really was beautiful.

as someone who started watching I Love Lucy as a child, I have found that it has seeped into my brain and lodged as a permanent part of me. I refer to it on a regular basis and more than one time in my life I have found myself in a situation that mirrored an ILL scene. Example: I once had the pleasure of meeting Phil and Don Everly before a show. I had been escorted to a building near the summer tent where the stage was and was left standing. I was facing a rear door and turned my head around to chat with a couple that had also walked in. I was blah blah blah-ing about something and then had a funny feeling.............suddenly I was Lucy poolside with a sleeping Van Johnson................I turned my head back to the front where they were both staring at me.... and I did my best "ewwwwwwwwwwww". They laughed. Of course they did, Lucy is always funny.

I've watched I Love Lucy since very early childhood. My mind instantly connects to warm memories when I even first hear the intro music! I think I've watched every single episode at least a dozen or more times and will continue to do so! Lucy, Desi, Fred and Ethyl always work their magic to make me laugh and calm my nerves!😉💜 Both Lucy and Desi were genius, each in their own way. I truly believe this sitcom will Still be shown many years from now when I, and others posting here, are no longer on this earth. Yes, it is THAT Iconic!!😉😎

@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 Right now California here we come is on repeat. I always loved the Hollywood episodes makes me feel like I am on vacation. And I live in Los Angeles lol. Also the Hedda Hopper episode where Lucy's mother laughs in Ricky's face about being a Don Juan type. It really is comfort tv better and less calories than comfort food!

@@bunnyoneful The whole show is built around the friendship that exists between the two couples. (Even though it's kind of odd that one couple is the other couples landlord? Lol.😁) And I love that the petty arguments and disagreements are written into the show as well! It reflects real life, with the hurt egos, ect. And then when both couples let down their guards and reach out and make-up with each other is wonderfully touching and heart warming!😊💓 And of course Lucy and Ethel are each other's true bossum buddies for life, thru thick and thin, come hell or high water!!😉😎

I love 😘😘😘😘💋💋💋💋 xxxxxoooooooo to Lucille Ball show especially when Lucy and Ethel put All that food in the heater in the basement and I love when Ricky said things in different language and Lucy would start crying because he would give in to her,then when they move to the farm and All the baby 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 are running around the house she try to hide them with Ethel chase them but they didn't do good job 😂😂😂😂

I love looking at Lucie Arnaz and listening to her talk. She has such a beautiful blend of her parents' features. The San Fernando Valley blog has great historical photos of the Desilu Ranch, at the corner of Devonshire and Corbin, now totally obliterated by a housing development. In the photo, Lucy is in the swimming pool lifting toddler Lucie up out of the water. It's such a perfect, frozen in time moment. I also grew up in the old Valley, a couple of years ahead of Lucie.

Lucy was likely a hateful racist. After watching episode after episode, I haven't seen a single black person on that show (although that alone doesn't make the case for "race"). But in the 1950s? Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure she was a quite rabid and virulent. Well then again, it's highly likely that YOU are too. 🤔 The possibility of this being true of any randomly picked white American, is always a winning bet.

In fairness, aside from both being insanely talented, I think both her parents were decent, down to earth people who loved each other until their dying days (doesn't matter they both moved on to happy marriages). I think her parents stature might have opened a door to different behaviors, but I think they taught her the value of respect, being humble, and treating others correctly. The fact Lucie is spreading credit around proves that. So I'm not surprised she turned out as well as she did.

Unlike most celebrities children write books and bash their parents

Even though throughout the years she's done her own work I like the fact that all the drama aside she continues to give life to her parents legacy.

@@ursulamullikin4723 04:28 Listen starting at "I'm way more forgiving..." It says a lot, leaves things to the imagination. There's hurt there. But you're right, she didn't put it on paper.

@@ursulamullikin4723 most celebrity children don't write books about their lives, there have been only a slight more than a handful who have. Even in those cases, the children have every right to do that.

She is so lovely. Such a genuinely nice person.

Beautiful ❤️

❤️

Me too!!! Man!!!

I think Lucy and Desi truely loved their children and grandchildren. I also agree, they seemed to have stayed on good terms after their divorce. I think sometimes when two type 'a' personalities form a union, it can be hard for it to work, both of them being driven and perhaps headstrong. I remember Lucie saying her dad told her before he died "Tell your mom, she was the only woman I ever really loved". Which I thought was so touching and kind of heart rending, but a beautiful thing to admit and say.

I fell in love with Lucy all over again. I have a new appreciation for her and her life story. Now I am listening to Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and I have changed my negative thinking.

Very good flick... "I COULD DIE! I COULD JUST DIE!"

There is no perfect family . Best to keep family issues in the family not broadcast its disrespectful & disloyal 😊

Lucille Ball truly was ahead of her time. She paved the way for so many future sitcoms.

If you liked the documentary, you'd love the podcast that she mentions, The Plot Thickens Lucy. I listed to it on KZfaq but it's everywhere. It's AMAZING.

100% agree

Been a fan for years but that Sorkin movie made absolutely no sense to me??

I didn't and will not ever watch that movie.

Sorry I do know how to spell your name was running late for work I apologize.

@Jay Landau I think many of us go thru a range of thinking in the decades of life. She surely is not the only one

@@turboredcart 👍🏻👍🏻

@@turboredcart Agree. And to be fair I think Lucie had legitimate complaints. Lucille Ball ran tight ship and was not always easy to deal with. The kids were not spoiled either.

@@m.e.d.7997 Yep. Desi had the brains of production but Lucy was always at the helm. But somebody had to be in control of navigating thru the often turbulent and unknown waters! Bottom line is Lucy was a Totally sharp and shrewd Business Woman. (And at a time when that was rather a rarity!!😉)

I’m so sorry you were so young. My mother loved her so much , that just seeing Lucy’s face makes me think about mine, who’s gone too.
