@@gretchennelson7056 Unless there were comments deleted, IDK to what you are referring. Who is lying or telling half truths? Vivian Vance & William Frawley didn't like each other. No one else made any statements in this thread other than that. Was something deleted?
@@mircat28 Ethel once said it was there way of making love. LOL. I mean couples argue but love each other deep down. My grandparents were that way. Though in real life Vivian Vance and William Frawley hated each other. Rumor has it Vivian was at a restaurant when she learned of his death. She was so happy that she had a round of drinks for everyone to celebrate.
@@SashGirl34 William Frawley was a terribly mean drunk.Desi was said to hVe made him sign an agreement if his drinking caused problems he was docked severely in payment.The cast of My three sons said his drinking and meaness was a problem on that show .Its sad but it happens alot.
"I Love Lucy " was sponsored for many years solely by Phillip Morris... and Lucy and Desi even did commercials for them which aired during their program.
I read a story that when Desi was considering hiring Frawley many people warned him about Frawley's drinking. Desi spoke to Frawley about it and told him if he was late even once or showed up drunk he would be immediately fired. Frawley was never late and never once showed up drunk.
Really? I saw an interview from Lucy and Desi's daughter, Lucie Arnaz, saying that Desi was going to give Frawley three chances and then be fired. But anyways I guess it doesn't matter. Frawley always showed up to work and was a complete success as Fred Mertz for the whole series 😄
amddance00, you're right. Desi mentions that in his bio. The first two times he could cover for William, but if there was a third then there was nothing Desi could do. And yes there was never a time Bill showed up late or drunk. RIP Bill.
Actually, actress Vivian Vance almost quit the show *because* Frawley would show up drunk. The two, despite playing husband and wife, hated each other.
Then later on when Lucy and Ethel were boxing the chocolates, wow she must have probably been on the floor laughing so hard she couldn't breathe. =P This was when they didn't depend on constant retakes/script revisions on shoot night for the best audience reaction. It was all done like a play. And the audience absolutely loved it.
fun fact, when Ricky first slipped on the rice it was pure accident, when Arnaz heard how much the audience was laughing he decided to purposely slip again. thats why the first slip looked so convincing because it was real
Everybody loves the part where Lucy and Ethel are at the chocolate factory ruining the chocolate but Ricky and Fred ruining dinner is in my opinion the funnest part of this episode.
Funny thing is, in real life, Desi Arnaz was the cook of the family! I read in Lucille Ball's autobiography that he had this amazing spaghetti sauce recipe and wouldn't serve it until it was just right. I hope he passed it on to his children.
They should have invented color tv sooner. Most people had B&W back then. They said it was too expensive. When we moved to a place I went a store in 1962 and they had color tv's everywhere. Most couldn't really afford so we settled for B&W.
I’ve always loved the I Love Lucy television show. I literally watch it EVERY SINGLE MORNING. I’m pretty sure it’s on from 5:00AM until about 7:30AM on the Hallmark channel. It’s just an awesome, and a classic television series. I hope it NEVER goes off of the air. One more thing, I love how they put it in color, I do like it. But, I honestly prefer the original black and white. (Rest in peace to ALL of the cast!) #ILoveLucy #Classic
Trey Lockwood i seem so real. One time the four of them were playing cards and they were talking etc and then they stopped to let you know it was faked
Trey Lockwood?!! There is One It's the "Decade" On Channel 13 my13 DirecTV, Cause I wanna Caught up On every Episode, I waited @ 10:00-10:30 Ever Morning (Monday through Friday), and I Eventually Just Flipped the Channel, But Actually I Watch the "Lucy Show", before "I love Lucy," Basically I Just Woke up @ 9:00-9:30 Me And My mom were Watched That Show. #ILoveLucyShow. #ILoveLucyForever. #IloveLucyForeverMore. #ILoveLucyEvermoreEvermore.

I agree. I don't even remember this scene, but I've seen the candy factory scene countless times. It's another example of how Lucy got all the attention while the others didn't get the credit they deserved.
he sure was handsome!! it's a shame smoking and alcohol took their toll on his looks later in life.. if you look at his pix from early in his career, in the early 40s - drop dead gorgeous!
This show is firmly embedded in history as an all time favorite for everyone on the planet. Whereas nothing beats the b&w shows, I love seeing the colorized episodes.
everyone loves this episode because of Lucy and Ethel at the candy factory. But nothing will ever strike me funnier than Ricky and Fred contemplating dinner in the Ricardo kitchen.
I've seen this episode 100 times.. and this is the first time I've ever noticed Fred and Ricky left the water running throughout the entire rest of the scene, AFTER Ricky knocked the cleanser in to the sink cleaning off those chickens LOL!!
Lucy Calls the President in 1977 was the first show that her mother couldn't attend, because of her death 2 months prior, and Lucy actually had to yell cut because it suddenly hit her and got her emotional. Also, during the rehearsals, Vivian Vance found out she had cancer. :(
*Lucy:* "Ricky, you got some splainin' to do..." That's one reason I love this scene. Because it looks just like something that'd normally happen to Lucy and Ethel, but it's Ricky and Fred, instead!
we all miss Lucy and Desi they worked very hard on there tv series and real life taking care of there kids hope they are okay in heaven plus others passed away on earth! I hope we do have a new life the bible says and if we don't thank you guys and women take care of your special family at home these days the future isn't to funny at all chin up better days are coming.
Fun fact: Desi Arnaz actually did slip the first time and bruised his ribs. But he got such a reaction from the audience that he decided to do it two more times for laughs.
The most interesting part was that next scene after this one. I could tell that was one of the most famous scenes from the entire series when the girls were packaging chocolate 😂
I bet everybody who attended the filming of this episode was so sore from laughing their asses off. This scene and then the next. They don't make em like this anymore.
I have been thinking if CBS reruns the series in color it would be a blast! I will surely watch. It's another world or brand new to see it in color. I am saying (the rearing in color) during this whole lock down still going on.
No, she isn't. Literally means she's actually dying. She wasn't dying. She didn't die in the audience that day. It would have been a big news story if she had.
I like most b&w tv shows and movies. But colorized Twilight Zone eps would be MIND-BLOWING. Even adding visual effects to Twilight Zone classics, like with Star Trek TOS would be massive.
I’ve never seen the color ride version of the job switching episode of I Love Lucy either I can’t believe how vivid the colors are it is amazing the difference between that and black-and-white the pink stands out so bright in the aprons it’s unbelievable it is so funny that episode where they are falling all over the floor on the slippery surface
watch at the very end during Desi's last fall.. I don't THINK that was rehearsed because the side of this head literally bounces off the floor and he grab's William Frawley's arm for support
The first fall was unscripted but the audience got such a kick out of it that he purposely fell again for the laughs. Heard that he badly bruised his ribs though.
Did his head actually hit the floor? I noticed that his head went down awfully close, but I didn't think it actually made contact with the floor! He could have gotten a concussion! Did you watch it in slo-mo to see it bounce?
My god this is a true example of why a live audience is so much better! I love that one girl screaming and laughing her head off. Makes the scene 10x funnier.
Of course I like the b&w version but the colorization here is amazing
Best thing about this type of comedy is it transcends generations and is forever timeless. A show like this elicits the same laughter from a 70 year old man as it does a 7 year old girl.
Just like old cartoons.

Joshua Bassett I mean if I saw a raw chicken suddenly fall from th ceiling and hit someone on the head I'd probably scream too lmfao
It was one of the first shows to be filmed before a live audience.
Joshua Bassett Lol she would’ve been great in a horror film
I read somewhere that the lady we always hear screaming, laughing loud, or saying "uh oh!" was Lucy's mom.
The uh oh is the one I can never forget. I used to be like how is that person always getting a ticket to the show? LOL
Wow, so different in color, looks like a tv show from the seventies.

Nahh when Ricky was calling the chickens like they were alive 🤣then he put soap on em to wash em off ! Lawwwd😩😭😭😭 never gets old
In real life, the Ricardo's apartment had mud-brown walls with white trim BUT colorization can make them turquoise blue!...which I much prefer - LOL

I have known this show sense I was nine and I still watch it over and over and I’m not sick of it
Beautiful Color.
This was every bit as funny as the candy factory scene
Fred is only using a spoon to clean up the rice.
It's quite refreshing to see this in color, but I love it more in black and white.

Man it’s so weird to see this in color as the live audience did. I always enjoyed Desi and Bill together. Great laughs. 😂
At 3:15 Ricky's slip and fall wasn't supposed to happen, but it got a big enough laugh. The best things ever are off script.
Then he fell again on purpose because the audience thought it was hysterical. It actually badly bruised his ribs.
watch at the very end during Desi's last fall.. I don't THINK that was rehearsed because the side of this head literally bounces off the floor and he grab's William Frawley's arm for support
side of HIS head, that is
The first fall was unscripted but the audience got such a kick out of it that he purposely fell again for the laughs. Heard that he badly bruised his ribs though.
I believe it too, about his ribs, he REALLY hit the floor hard, hard enough to make his head bounce!
@@stevarino1989 I assume you are repeating that because others have said it in the comments, but I'm more concerned about his head than his ribs!
Did his head actually hit the floor? I noticed that his head went down awfully close, but I didn't think it actually made contact with the floor! He could have gotten a concussion! Did you watch it in slo-mo to see it bounce?
I just loved whenever Ricky said "OOHHH NOOOO."
Ricky falling wasn't scripted he could not get up lmaooo
I wish they would colorize this brilliant show
I think my favorite thing about this scene is that at the very end, if you look close enough, you can that Desi Arnaz starts to laugh lmao
What happened to my two chickens? And Fred threw the cake straight up I was like the lady in the audience screaming with l laughter.🙉🙈🙊✌🌼
very quick moment but ricky using the collinder to try and catch the rice is a+ comedy by itself
Those chickens gave me a visceral feeling of existential dread that not even the likes of H.P. Lovecraft could put into words
That was was on CBS (the original network).
My god this is a true example of why a live audience is so much better! I love that one girl screaming and laughing her head off. Makes the scene 10x funnier.
Oh wow, this episode looks cool in color 😀
I love how Ricky said well you can put a lot of frosting 0:33
