Candy Moore (as Chris) was a DOLL. And Hans Conried was one of the All Time great voice, and character actors - a Huge star in the early days of radio. Lucy and Vivian - Pure poetry in motion.. comedy gold.
I was one month shy of my twentieth birthday when she passed. There was a special report saying that she had undergone surgery. The next day my eldest sister (RIP Lisette) watched 'I Love Lucy ' (Channel 5 at 9am in NYC then). Before the telecast began. There came on the TV screen, 'We remember Lucille Ball today on her passing or something similar to that. 'OMW' My sister and I said, 'Lucy died '. We got very, very sad. We cried. And that day was cold, raw and rainy. It was even cold and rainy when Vivian Vance died too. I was 10. There won't ever be extraordinary talent like them anymore, anymore
Lucy so graciously had a lot of extras from several “ I ❤️ Lucy “ episodes. Classic”s are so fun. I have a Lucille Ball collection. But this even better.😍😘💕Still loving Lucy & Vivian never gets old.😂
That's because Lucy was loyal to those whom she knew were wonderfully talented and whom she could work with with a capital L. Therefore she'd try to have cast those persons with those qualities.
"I never knew a soprano you could trust!" Gotta love Viv! Fabulous comedy. And great duet comedy with guest stars, like Hans Conried in this episode, as Dr. Gittterman. He would come back to direct them in a local production of "Cleopatra", one of my favorite episodes.
Amazing connection to Lucy's mention of Wee Bonnie Baker in this ep. Baker was a real band singer in the '30s and '40s, and her cover of the 1917 song, "Oh, Johnny, Oh!" (that Lucy sings a snippet of here) became a #2 smash on Columbia Records in 1940. Here's the "hidden" Lucy connection: In 1956 (what, about half a dozen years before, or slightly more, than when this ep aired)?, Bonnie recorded an album for Warner Bros. Records, called "Oh, Johnny!", and the orchestra backing Bonnie on the album was conducted by none other than Wilbur Hatch! Hatch, of course, was the sole composer for three episodes of I Love Lucy (1951-56), four episodes of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour (1959-60), all 156 episodes of The Lucy Show (1962-68), and all of the Here's Lucy (1968-69) episodes up to the time of his death in 1969. True Lucy fans will remember Desi's line in the "Vitameatavegamin" episode, calling offstage, "Mr. Hatch, if you please!" Lucy's mention here, of Bonnie and that song, was (perhaps among other things) a nod to Mr. Hatch and his many musical contributions to Lucy & Co.!
Actually she had four TV shows: I Love Lucy, The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy and Life with Lucy. Though that last one (Life with Lucy) was short lived and savaged by most critics.
I know all about life with Lucy it was short lived like u said so I didn't count that one Lucy Desi comedy hour. I knew but forgot to comment on it here's the order I like The Lucy show here's Lucy I love Lucy Lucy Desi comedy hour n life with Lucy but there's only one Lucy n one viv n I miss both of them rip Lucy n Viv
Loving this on Sept. 28th, 2021. Love Lucy dancing and singing like Elvis. She sings better here than on I Love Lucy, lol, where, of course, she was supposed to have a horrible voice. Lol
Carol Cook knew Lucy forever. They go all the way back to Jamestown. She said when she finally arrived in California Lucy was standing at the open door of her house, it looked like it was straight out of a movie magazine, "A Day In The Life of Lucille Ball." She did an interview for the BBC and said Lucy was her matron of honour at her wedding. She was all dressed in white and wore no makeup, Lucy said she looked like the Ghost from Christmas Past.
In the 1930's and 1940's, well before "I Love Lucy" and "The Lucy Show", Vivian Vance had supporting roles in a number of New York Broadway Stage musicals --- particularly Cole Porter musicals. Often she appeared with Ethel Merman.
Carole Cook is still one of my favorites. At 98! The Grande Dame of LA theater with her husband Tom Troupe, age 94. She is another vivid redhead. Can't tell with B&W.
Part of the I Love Lucy stchick - Lucy can't sing or dance. Esp. when you look at her dancer's legs which she still had at the end of her life - she was a great dancer in movies & on the I Love Lucy show Dancing with Van Johnson and Cuban Pete - can't get better than that!!!
No, too rough, nasal and raspy because of heavy smoking. High-pitched, but harsh. It's Vivian who had the well-trained, beautiful, controlled and emotive voice, but it was never showcased properly in the Lucy series because Lucy was the star. Vivian even was forbidden ever to slim down 'too much' to compete with Lucy in terms of looks. Everyone had to know Lucy was the star and nobody could outshine her.
Lucy sung with Desi in the Long,Long Trailer (if it wasn’t dubbed). Her singing voice was dubbed in her B movies in the 40’s. She sung in the 1974 movie Mame with Bea Authur. Bea complained about her voice and said she was miscast. Lucy got the lead because she put up $ 5 million to make the movie.’
Kerryincolumbas just wondering if you have had a bad day or week. Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance set the bar for comedian's to come. No profanity or visual effects or sexual overtones. They are sorely missed in today's comedy circles.
what the hell?? who said they weren't great comediennes (comedian is the masculine version, which clearly these ladies are NOT)!?!??? who said anything about profanity or sexual overtones?? I think YOU'RE the one having a bad day, because clearly you have no sense of sanity!
What the hell! You understood exactly what Jackie was meaning you SOB! You see, I am not worried about using adult words to people who need to put in their place you sun of a bitch!
The illustrious Hans Conried.... magnificent stage actor, the voice of Captain Hook in the original Disney film. He chewed up more scenery than Conway, Corman and Burnett put together. Nice fella, to boot.
In all seriousness, I wonder whether or not the vocal teacher Dr. Gitterman (played by revered character actor and comedian Hans Conried) in this episode) used actual vocal techniques that some voice teachers would use. Professional singers all employ different vocal methods of approach to their craft, so I wonder if this might be one of them...
No, although Lucie and Desi Jnr appeared in several episodes of this series. Usually Lucie as the friend of Chris, her on screen daughter and Desi appeared in a baseball team. You might be thinking of the series, Here's Lucy where she played her on screen daughter.
@@christinemaclean3718 lol, i remember that one, dont forget him on laverne and shirley when they go to night school////..CW...Mr Wilner Mister WILNER!!! these two people stole my seat.HC..you mean to tell me you require more than one seat to sit down??.. lol RIP
She was awful in professional terms! Vivian was the one with the professional-quality voice, who could equally put across a sexy number and light opera. Lucy's voice was screechy, harsh and raspy from too much smoking, both as a singer and as a speaker.
Yeah it was a Live audience. So they didn't edit it. You can also hear Desi's laugh in the episode when Lucy and viv wanna be firefighters and it's the scene when Lucy climbs the ladder and Vivian hoses her with the water and you hear Desi laughing in the back lol. He was there at the audience since he was producer of the show too.
Ethel Merman and Lucy were close friends in real life. That was hilarious when Lucy tried to teach the Merm how to sing - on par with teaching the Pope how to pray.
When they start singing, switch the video speed to 0.8x speed. (trust me) It will be a MUCH more authentic performance. The skill comes from sustaining a constant harmony which feels like the song will and SHOULD never end.
Candy Moore (as Chris) was a DOLL. And Hans Conried was one of the All Time great voice, and character actors - a Huge star in the early days of radio. Lucy and Vivian - Pure poetry in motion.. comedy gold.
How right you are in your observations ! I could not agree more !
I never tire watching Lucy. I cried SO much when heard she passed-away.
It was definitely a sad’d awful time.
R.I.P. Lucille and Vivian 🤍🤍🤍
As an Indian ...even i feel the same...rip my lovely Lucy👍👍🙏🙏

@@bertaalvarez349I 100% agree and thank you for sharing your beautiful memory of reminiscing Lucy and Viv with your sister! ❤

Favorite show to watch during lockdown

Same here:)
Favorite show to watch after school in the 80s.
I love Lucy and all the comedy show of the 50s 60s and 70s they were so clean, and funny.
Me gusta el chob de lu.cy
Meg gusta
@@cinde1869 so true I am younger but my mom is baby boomer and I love the old shows they are my favorite.
I agree. Their comedy came from a more humble place than todays.
6:57 “Her name, her name!” I loved Vivian
"You have to throw out your voice!" "Well, let's not get nasty!" Comedy at its best.
Vivian will always make everything funny
ীবী😅😅ৈজ😅😅😅াাাা
the way out look in her eyes and her twisted natural humor, she was a treasure.
Unforgettable Lucy🌟🌟
The Queen of clean comedy!
Draws so much laughter even 60 yrs later..
A legend...🌹🌹
Lucy - *cough
Lucy - 'my umbrella wouldn't open'
Me - 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I never knew a soprano you could trust!" Gotta love Viv! Fabulous comedy. And great duet comedy with guest stars, like Hans Conried in this episode, as Dr. Gittterman. He would come back to direct them in a local production of "Cleopatra", one of my favorite episodes.
He was on 'I Love Lucy ' as well. Must have been a great reunion
Lucy mimicking Elvis was brilliant!
Agreed! She had a wonderful singing voice as well ❤
I was watching this on break at work and when she went "all aboard" I cracked up laughing so hard I couldn't breathe
@lauriefaithprescott, I remember the first time I watched this and feeling the same way when she held her breath too long and almost passed out!😂
Lucy was 52 here. Classic beauty.
The 4 alarms lol

My Mom and Dad's era.
I like watching this show after a stressful day at work...need my comedy fix!
I rewatch Lucy Episodes and even though I know most of them, they still get me.
👍💕
The Queen of comedy no one can or will take Lucy's place
Lucy & Carol Burnett are the BEST!
Could be the red hair dye #12. They are hilarious😁
You forgot Gracie Allen
Lucy is my heroine, I love her so much
I am a major lucy fans loved her.
Best actress ever!!! Hands down.

she had a decent voice singing in The Long Long Trailer.....breezing along, along with the breeze.
I love Lucy, GREAT show!!!! Love it!!!❤❤❤❤❤ It's the best show ever!!!! I am so happy they made it!!! Thank you Lucy 😘 for making this!
This is not the I love Lucy show!
I love this song, that they all sang at the end, it's absolutely beautiful!!
My two favorite sweet hearts ❤️❤️
Isn’t the voice coach the same actor who did the “Tippy Tippy Toe Through The Garden” song in I Love Lucy? He’s fantastic!
YES
Hans Conreid - died in 1982 - voice actor as well for Disney
Yes. He was also the voice of captain hook and the father from Peter pan.
He was also in barefoot in the park with Richard Thomas. He played the upstairs neighbor
Hahahaha I tippy tippy toe through the garden
This is such a sad retread of a classic I Love Lucy episode.
Carol Cook knew Lucy forever. They go all the way back to Jamestown. She said when she finally arrived in California Lucy was standing at the open door of her house, it looked like it was straight out of a movie magazine, "A Day In The Life of Lucille Ball."

And the good thing is she still with us and going strong 98yrs old
Vivian had an outstanding voice.
writeract2 la principessa anne yes she does
@@kimmie965 Dorothy Lamour wrote in her book that she remembered hearing Viv singing torch songs in the thirties and how good she was at it
to bad your tone deaf , ha , ha
@@dawnheistand912 Yeah. She sounds okay.
Amen to that !!
In the 1930's and 1940's, well before "I Love Lucy" and "The Lucy Show", Vivian Vance had supporting roles in a number of New York Broadway Stage musicals --- particularly Cole Porter musicals. Often she appeared with Ethel Merman.
21:42 sounds like Lucy is saying "Ewww moon juice" 😂😂😂
12:25 we finally get to hear Lucy sing after years of Ricky and Ethel refusing to give her a part bc she was tone deaf lol
EXCELLENT EPISODE !
My favorite Lucy show watch again too much beautiful show
Lucy is the greatest of all time a keep it 💯🤪🙌💪 love you always ❤️♥️😘😊😆😊
I think the voice coach played the English tutor on I Love Lucy, when she’s expecting Little Ricky and wants them to all learn perfect English.
@10:43 🤣🤣🤣 the older lady starts doing viv's line. Lol!
Good catch!! I've watched this episode at least 20 times and never caught that once, til now! Good one!
Oh being pregnant.. this got me laughing so much. Hehehe
Love my Lucy. Watched all her shows.
I love lucy , especially this episode .
Hahaha! I expected Lucy to sing off-key like Lucy Ricardo.
+Justin Brady This time Lucy disappointed me for singing on-key. hahaha! She is hilarious when she sings off-key.
+MaryRod09 Me too!!!
+MaryRod09 And in this Viv doesn't sing neat as well as Ethel.
I report you for saying the same thing twice! :-)
because the older a woman gets she loses her brilliance and light-sounding voice. Same with men too, but, with women it seems to be worse.
Lucy's umbrella sound and expression 😂😂😂😂😂 LMAO
Marionette, umbrella, vowels, oogah, holding her breath = very funny; actually every part is comical.
Carole Cook is still one of my favorites. At 98! The Grande Dame of LA theater with her husband Tom Troupe, age 94. She is another vivid redhead. Can't tell with B&W.
Sadly, Carole Cook passed away on January 11, 2023 😥
Lucille Ball starred in a musical on Broadway(Wildcat). She introduced the song "Hey,Look Me Over". And her singing wasn't bad at all.
Well said and well put ! She had a fine singing voice !
Also years later sang that song on the Dinah Shore show with Dinah and Valerie Harper - really good.
Thank God I can sing already. Else, I'd have had to go through this to learn to sing! 🤣🤣🤣
Lucy has such a beautiful singing voice.
Ricky really should’ve let her sing in I Love Lucy.

I like both male and female comedians.

Lucy is taking lessons from Hans Conreid again! He was the voice of Captain Hook!!
The illustrious Hans Conried.... magnificent stage actor, the voice of Captain Hook in the original Disney film. He chewed up more scenery than Conway, Corman and Burnett put together. Nice fella, to boot.
Harvey Korman
There were so many suprise guests that were in I love Lucy like the vocal coach, an the professor in The Chemistry Episode
This is The Lucy Show
@@MooseCall ik but people from I love Lucy were featured in the Lucy Show
In all seriousness, I wonder whether or not the vocal teacher Dr. Gitterman (played by revered character actor and comedian Hans Conried) in this episode) used actual vocal techniques that some voice teachers would use.

Lucie's laugh
16:59 I didn’t even know I had one! 😂
Those were the days.
Ohhh ! I loved this one ! 😅💖
❤I love Lucy ❤
Dios voy a tener que estudiar inglés. Es imposible no ver esta comedia. Me hace reír aun que no entiendo mucho 😭😭😭
I love Lucy.
it just like i love lucy celebrated i love lucy 60th anniversary in 2011 and the lucy show 50th anniversary
I can't believe this episode was made 58 years ago .
I was a baby .
12:19 Same actor who appeared in I Love Lucy to give them all elocution lessons.
Caroline G was that Lucy’s real life daughter playing her daughter here?
No, although Lucie and Desi Jnr appeared in several episodes of this series. Usually Lucie as the friend of Chris, her on screen daughter and Desi appeared in a baseball team.
You might be thinking of the series, Here's Lucy where she played her on screen daughter.
I never knew a soparno you could trust too funny
Funny
Considering Vivian was a soprano, an interesting remark .
Especially since Viv was a Soprano herself!
4:43
Hans Conreid thinks he has it tough teaching Lucy how to sing, wait until he has to teach Jethro how to play the violin on The Beverly Hillbillies.

Miss those past TV shows with the greatest character actress ever, according the great Orson Wells...
That guy was on the original I Love Lucy at two characters
Lucy is such a good singer. Should have sung more. Vivian's and rest have sweet voices as well
She was awful in professional terms! Vivian was the one with the professional-quality voice, who could equally put across a sexy number and light opera. Lucy's voice was screechy, harsh and raspy from too much smoking, both as a singer and as a speaker.
Lucy. show the best
Vivian Vance ❤
The actress who played Thelma played Walter’s ex-wife on Maude.
I like to he various intros and titles to the I Love Lucy Show💗
I cant believe I did the mouth exercise thing lol Im so embarrassed.
So did I!! LOL
Rehashed story from the girls band in I Love Lucy...they didn't want Lucy's saxaphone.... Little cheeky...
Her name her name 😂
Dorothy was actually a YEAR YOUNGER than Lucy.....(!)
I really like to watch Lucy Show
I love it i fall asleep wathing i love lucy, The lucy shiw, or Dick Van Dyke
Love Lucy. It was funny why she was singing Elvis and dancing being an Elvis fan I thought it was funny
Viv could sing!
I like this show but I still think of them of Lucy and Ethel
the guy that is playing the doctor is the same guy in i love lucy he is the english tudor
He was also "Wrong Way Feldman" on Gilligan's Island
tutor not tudor
Carol cook died age 98 Jan . 2023
At 14:20, you hear someone coughing a lot, and it’s not Lucy or the vocal coach.
Yeah it was a Live audience. So they didn't edit it. You can also hear Desi's laugh in the episode when Lucy and viv wanna be firefighters and it's the scene when Lucy climbs the ladder and Vivian hoses her with the water and you hear Desi laughing in the back lol. He was there at the audience since he was producer of the show too.
Isn't dr. Gidderman "I tippy tippy toe in my garden"?
I loved that one
And the second hand man who bought the Ricardos furniture.
I like how this episode connects when Lucy tried to teach ethel merman to sing
Ethel Merman and Lucy were close friends in real life. That was hilarious when Lucy tried to teach the Merm how to sing - on par with teaching the Pope how to pray.
it is - A - E - I - O - and - U - ! thanks
Hans Conried was always hilarious.
I agree 100 per cent ! A wonderfully gifted comedic actor !
I agree with maryrod09. I thought that "Lucy Carmichael " sang like "lucy Ricardo"!!!!!!!
I watched this while I was conipated
Eidt: 2 years later I'm sick
When they start singing, switch the video speed to 0.8x speed. (trust me) It will be a MUCH more authentic performance. The skill comes from sustaining a constant harmony which feels like the song will and SHOULD never end.
