Lucy was gorgeous when she was young . As she smoked cigarettes she got ugly and old
@@ramir332 She was always going to get old. So are you. She never got ugly.
The whole cast was my favorite
@@tartfuel❤
Crazy how people who died before I was even born still entertain and make me laugh till this day 😌
Please explain!!!!!!
Amazing when you think about it! I hated missing I love Lucy when I was little lol
@@Prttyrddvlvt lol I’ve seen them ally least 5 times .. growing up poor with no cable tv it was the best thing on at the time … 11am-12pm everyday two episodes. I’ll still put it on now .. never really seen another of her other shows just all the I love Lucy. A few of the comedy hour also
I know right...I was born in 86 and I live Lucy cracks me up
@@lance.da.legend9837 I am planning to get pregnant
I enjoyed watching I love Lucy in reruns when I was a kid and still enjoy it today. It's one of those timeless shows that will never fade away.
I enjoy it as well, some subscribe to my channel so you don't miss out on the awesome stuff that I post:)
I still laugh at Lucy and Carolyn Applebee's playdate fight "I'm leaving now where do you keep your baby's cage" 🤣😂😅
Oh my gosh I even used quote on a girl I gotten into it with telling her “Hope my child did not learn how to peel bananas with his feet from yours.” It’s mean but when your child is being attacked by older kid, I’m pulling out all weapons.🤣🤣🤣
@@MrsBarbieBeechum2000 😂😂😂
Caroline A was a hater, and Lucy was trying to beat her at her on game!!
One of my favorite episode. I hope he doesn't pick up any of his good habits like scratching himself is or peeling bananas with his feet😄
*Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.*
Matthew 16
I implore people to re-read the gospels - life is not just about our drop in the bucket time in this present life. It will be over quickly at any time and all our "success" here will be in vain.
Pretty much everyone loved Lucy, and pretty much everyone still does.
Thanks for watching!
but i heard she wasnt really a nice person!!!!
@@robertosso5210 When Lucy had to take over the shows and the Desilu Studio - she had to put on the different hats. Before the divorce, she said the Cuban did it all. As a woman at that time, when she was tough & some called her names - if she were a man, they would have said he was strong. Basically all the stars who knew her and appeared on her shows - thought she was a wonderful person. That is, except for Richard Burton, Tallulah Bankhead and Joan Crawford. All were drinking on set and forgetting their lines and she was having none of it. BTW all were alcoholics esp. Burton who wrote in his bio how much he didn't like or hated her. He was such a drunk that in his last films he had to be filmed either sitting or laying down - could not stand due to his drunkeness. He died at 58 due alcoholism.
@@LJ-ht4zs there was a story that was said that when lucy had traveled somewhere on a flight she traveled with an associate of hers. and one time a flight attendant asked lucy something and lucy didnt look at her and ignored her and her associate told the flight attendant that ms ball doesnt speak with the help!
@@robertosso5210 Only heard that from people like Joan Crawford and Burton, both alcoholics and had trouble remembering their lines which created a problem. Most of her cast members and writers she knew from the 1940's. People were very loyal to her and she to them. Lucy worked hard and could be intense, but the only people who complained about her severely like Burton (who was a serious alcoholic and died age 58 complications due to alcoholism ) In his last films he had to be sitting down or lying down, could not stand due to his drinking. Of course, with Lucy totally unacceptable to her. I never once heard Lucille Ball defame another actor or any one from her family - except once on an interview with Barbara Walters said Desi was a loser, which she clarified that with all his many gifts he ended up destroying them - and he did - which caused him ill health, loss of possibilities and loss of money from gambling. She was always generously giving him credit for his many gifts and abilities but was sad that he wrecked havoc losing his gifts because of the addictions. Her many friends, like Betty White, Carol Burnette, Vivian Vance, Bob Hope, Gale Gordon - she knew them for decades and really cared for her as she did them. A delightful book, Laughing with Lucy, written by Madelyn Pugh and Robert Carroll Jr knew her from radio days and wrote for most of her tv work. gives a wonderful realistic portrait of Lucille Ball.
That show was so nice and clean for the whole family to watch. They saw no need to use foul language or nudity or any sleaze to get an audience. The laughter from the audience was real and is used as canned laughter to make other sitcoms seem funny when they may not be funny at all.
TV now is just horrible borderline porn and no values
I loved all of them you'll never see shows like that anymore it's a shame
Happy Birthday Lucy!!🥳 if Lucy was still alive she would be 110:)
Thanks for watching, Ann!
I'm sp happy and proud of "Lil Ricky" for getting sober and being a productive member of society. RIP to the fallen stars! I will never forget you!
Thanks for watching, Dub!
He's now 70 years old and he looks great
Desi died so young in his 60s.
@@annielehnhardt_kolakowski5818 That is too young. RIP!
You must mean Desi Arnaz Jr?
I like all of the characters, but probably Ethel Mertz -- Vivian Vance -- was my favorite. She was the perfect foil for Lucy! Thanks for this post!
I’m so used to laughing at Lucy’s comedic performances I almost forget what a frikkin bombshell she was 😍
Im always obsessed with learning how old movie stars died
Same lol. I'm a weirdo about that
I could never select a favorite--I loved them all and still watch "I love Lucy" to this day.
They all were so good you couldn't pick a favorite ,but I loved Fred and Ethel's interactions .You would think they were really an old married couple !
Same🥲
Lucille Ball is my favorite cast member , she was such a funny and talented actress a real icon
Thanks for watching, Gloria!
She was boring without Vivan.
Loved the show and all the characters.Back when tv was worth watching
Thanks for watching, Rachel!
Kids these days think we are weird for watching these types of shows. Shows like these were the only things I could watch when I stayed with my grandparents. I Love Lucy, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Dragnet, etc. On Saturday nights, it would be Hee Haw at 7, and I Love Lucy at 8. Lord forbid that I wanted to watch Solid Gold on Saturdays. My papaw said that was devil dance. He told my mom and sister back in the 50s and 60s that the Yellow Submarine was taking the Beatles straight to hell! Ah yes the good ole days. 😂🤣😅
The perfect show, the perfect cast. I think it’s safe to say “I Love Lucy” will be shown somewhere on television forever. Of course everyone loves the “Fab Four”, but out of the supporting cast, I’ve always loved Doris Singleton. When Lucy says Betty’s new furniture looks like “a bad dream you’d have after eating too much Chinese food”, you can’t help laughing and feeling sorry for her all at the same time. A few years ago my husband gave me the Christmas present I’ve always wanted. An 8x10 glossy of Lucille Ball, autographed of course. It’s from the 40’s, she’s wearing an evening gown with a beautiful fur coat. It hangs in our living room.
Thanks for watching, John!
Didn't feel sorry gor Carolyn fespiteLucy & Vivian's view on her futniture. It was Carolyn's taste & made her & her family feel vomfortable. Who cares teally what other people think?
@@eloiseockert6561 You need spell-check.
Doris Singleton played Carolyn Appleby, not Betty Ramsey. That was Mary Jane Croft
I remember the day she died, I was at a bar when we heard the news, I was 20. The DJ announced it and told the bar to yell as loud as we could "we love you Lucy" and they played I love Lucy on the TVs.
How blessed we are to be able to enjoy the amazing shows, movies and music from long before our time. Lucy said she didn't laugh when she watched the show but was sad because "they're gone" 😢
The 4 main characters were pure magic
The Fabulous Four - amazing how a perfect cast, writing group, and special lighting (Karl Freund) all came together to create the greatest sit com ever, that made people laugh around the world (70-80 countries) and still has reruns today all over America.
Crazy how much they hated each other. Great acting
Vivian Vance was amazing support to Lucy. The two are dynamic comedy double act. An example couple for aspirational actors to study.
Loads of hugs and kisses for all the joy they both brought to my parent’s home every Monday night at 8.30 in Sydney, Australia.
Oh Lucy !!!!!!!
That was a iconic show I' remember watching that when I was a little boy I was born in 1955 my mother and father myself would watch those all the time never missed an episode I Love Lucy the best sitcom ever made!!😊👍
I LOVED THIS SHOW AND ALL THE CHARACTERS
Who's your favorite character, Lou?
@@FactsVerse FRED
My favorite is Lucy
Lucy is my all time favorite! I watch her everyday from 1-2 p.m. on Decades, M-F. My day doesn't start until I'm done watching I Love Lucy. I even turn my ringer off to avoid interruptions like, wyd, can l come over, can you Cashapp, death, etc! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We loved her too, Angela!
???
Me too!!!!!
My favorite cast member will always be Lucy! She brought joy and laughter to so many people!
Thanks for watching!
Every episode still makes me laugh even tho I've watched it 100 times already
@@FactsVerse you welcome 🤘🏼🙌
Me also.. several years ago my mom and I attended the Birthday celebration in Jamestown NY. Great weekend with so much to enjoy and stars to meet, authors, and great Lucy and Ethel impersonators. We even stayed and extra day to relax and enjoy more of the sites in Jamestown.. Ric Wyman was the Director of the Museum. He and his staff were wonderful to us. At 68, I still laugh at I Love Lucy, and enjoy her other shows and movies. I will always love LUCY❤
@@maddyhayes617 as u should, Lucy's legacy lives on forever
@@noahjackson2 she was the BEST.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I did love Lucille Ball (she's always my favorite comedian). But Desi, Vivian and William were all awesome as well. We couldn't do without any of them. I love Lucy would not have been I love Lucy without any of them. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🤗
''The Lucy Show'' was an excellent sitcom. It was one of the best show during the 1967-1968. At that time i was very young.
The one with Viv was good, but after Viv died, they were boring with Mr. MOONEY.
@@annielehnhardt_kolakowski5818 Vivian Vance died in 1979 after the lucy show and here's lucy had ended. Lucy only had one more show afterwards called Life With Lucy that ran for less than a year in 1986
Rip to all the cast members. They made my childhood amazing watching this show with my family.
Thanks for watching, Summer Time!
@@FactsVerse you already know. Very sad they passed.
I Love Lucy is a classic and always be known one of my favorites
I can't think of a better Show then this. Excellent
What's your favorite episode, Rocco?
Gale Gordon appeared in a few episodes of "I Love Lucy" as the Club's owner and was a major co-star of Lucille Ball's other series. It was a little bit of a shame that he wasn't included on this list.
Gale also was Lucy's 1st choice to play Fred
I agree 😠😠😠
I live Lucy! When I get married in 1975, and a homemaker at that time I began watching I live Lucy ever since! I live her and miss her dearly!!
That makes no sense!
Before reading Lucy’s book “Love Lucy” I would have said Desi Arnez was my favorite character. Due to his infidelity and alcoholism, Vivian Vance is my favorite. They were best friends until Lucy’s death.
I’m reading Love Lucy now (about halfway through). Great book. What an incredible life she lived.
I absolutely love Lucy she was my absolute favorite I could watch her shows any of her shows over and over again and I have tons and tons of her collectibles!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Lucy really was a beautiful lady. And so talented.
Thanks for watching!
This was such a great show and Desi (and his DP) innovated the multi camera (3 camera) set up we use today (or close to it, Garry Marshall added a 4th camera with Mork & Mindy). William Frawley didn't play 'Bob O'Casey" He was "Bub O'Casey." Bub was a nickname but not for Robert or Bob.
Lucille Ball has kept me laughing for many moons haha
I love them all but Lucy made the show may they all Rest in Peace
Thanks for watching, TM!
My favourite has always been Lucy. She's always going to be the one we never forget
My all time favorite show I still laugh like it’s my first time watching
Thanks for watching, Shamari!
Lucy and Ethel both where my favorites.
I Love Lucy I've seen her since I was a little girl and motion pictures like you say and I love The Lucy show all three of them may the Lord have blessed us with her for many years and now may she rest in peace we miss you Lucy I miss you making us laugh your you're the best and you're a star 🌟❤️
Thanks for watching, Gail!
I loved all the characters from I love Lucy and all of her shows.
Thanks for watching, Wendy!
I loved the episode where they were working in a candy factory. The machine got to fast for them and they started shoving the candy in their mouth. 🤣😅😂
Yes, it brings back memories! Thank you for sharing your favorite I Love Lucy episode. By the way, who is your favorite cast member?
And in their hats & shirts!!
@Facts Verse Well, it would have to Lucy and Ethel. Bit they all bring something funny to the show. I just done a day long marathon of I love Lucy. Brought back some childhood and adult memories of when I'd watch it with my grandparents. 🙂
She lives near to my sisters house in LA. I'm stunned by this news. My deepest sympathies to her family....
It's my pleasure...
Who?
@@brewsviews7870 Lucy
She's dead
Lucy ctodsed over a long time ago in 1979 I believe it was. Otherwise if alive today would be 110
Jocelyn Carter: I loved the whole cast right down to little Ricky! He was so cute!
Ethel is by far my favorite co-star. She was made for that role!
Nobody was better than Lucy! She was and always be my favorite comedian! Today all of I Love Lucy reruns are on Hulu. One happy lady!
Waited for I love Lucy every night that it played. Loved all the characters !🌹
Yes I did enjoy Lucy Thank you for sharing these people life and their death
Lucy was my fav character on the show.
??? That makes no sense!!!
Besides all the beautiful women in the show, Desi Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. are so handsome!!! So much talent too!
Thanks for watching, Vicki!
I would like to know about Mrs. Trumbull . She was of advanced age at the time of filming , but it would have been great to know about her . She played a great character . You start out not liking her , and when she enters Lucy and Ricky's apartment , and comforts little Ricky when he was accidentally left alone , was a big turnaround about how the audience sees her for the rest of the series . Thanks for the memories ! ! 🙋
I loved everybody!! It was the best sitcom ever still funny today a feel good show!
Thanks for watching, In Pro Per!
Lucille Ball was my favorite character. I almost met her once. That would have made my decade!
Loved the show, great cast. My favorite was Lucy
Thanks for watching, Karen!
They have all brought unforgettable sweet memories to many people Endlessly ❤️❤️❤️ She was Exclusive
Thank you for this video. I grew up watching the episodes with my mother, so many great memories. The funny thing is when we watched my mom laughed as though she was watching it for the very first time.😂
Great shows that anyone can enjoy still😍
I love Ethels and Freds comebacks and Freds one liners 😂
Best show ever,I still watch it every night. I even have the complete collection. Beautiful woman. I would have loved for her to have been around now at a different age, just to see how everything has expanded.
Lucille Ball was my favorite!
What's your favorite memory of her, Patricia?
@@FactsVerse When she worked in the chocolate factory with Ethel, and when she gave birth to Little Ricky
Very good insight into the I love lucy show. Really enjoy your channel and I am a subscriber too. Also love all the new pictures of the cast I never saw before.
Thanks for watching, Sally!
The best show of all time ...... That's right i said it
Thanks for watching, mike!
A good show, but far from #1
@@markedpropensity1633 😂 😂 really tell le different
ALL of them r my favorites ❤ & may the R.I.P. 🙏
It is so sad that all the cast is gone now. ( except for little Ricky) I believe that back in those days, people were not so much into keeping healthy. Smoking was socially accepted. Nobody really worked out and exercised much. Drinking was the in thing. As shown many people died at a early age. Now, people don't smoke as much or drink and they try to live a more heathier life compared to the 1950's era.
Thanks for watching, Ronnie!
I'm glad you think so. People drink & smoke just as much today as they did back then.
@@ChrissyRedd37 I think people still smoke, and drink today, a bit less but at least they are aware of the reprecussions can happen from those destructive habits. Back in the 50's they really were not aware of the dangers of it. At least now, they don't advertise it and make it look glamourous to the public like they did in the 1940's- 1950's.
@@ChrissyRedd37 Well I am a qualified lesbian and you are too
@@ChrissyRedd37 Not true. In the 50s 45% of adults smoked. Now it's 15%. It still seems prevalent because of the obnoxious potheads and vapers. You are correct about drinking though.....it's pretty much the same.
Btw, my favorite cast members were Lucy and Ethel. I could not choose just one.
What a great show loved watching
what about mrs trumball? the frequent baby sitter of little ricky? I once thought that the same actress played her and Lucy's Mother
Thanks for watching, Anthony!
My favorite of course, Lucy. The things she made Ethel do!! I have seen all the reruns and know them by heart and even so, I dye laughing. Love, love, love her!!
Lucy and Desi will always be my favorite comedian couple in Hollywood History!!..May they ALL Rest in Peace!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse The episode When Lucy does the medicine commercial 😂
They all were great they accent each other miss them all grew up with them
Lucille Ball was America's best female comic. No one else came close.
I remember little Ricky when he was in the singing group of "David and the Giants"! They came to our school in Indiana and sang Christian songs for us. I was suprised to know that one of the singers was Little Ricky.
My uncle Keith Thibodeaux is the only surviving member of I Love Lucy! I’ve always known him as my uncle Keith. He’s in great health and living in Madison, Mississippi with his wife of 40+ years, my mom’s oldest sister Kathy, who is a phenomenal ballerina and they both run Ballet Magnificat! in Jackson, Mississippi. My uncle Keith is still very good friends with and still keeps in touch with Desi and Lucie Jr!
I loved all her shows!! She was Great!
Thanks for watching, Brenda!
Lucy Show Was The BEST ❤️ I LOVED All the Cast 😁 I Whatched Every Day When I Was YOUNG Back Then. I Am NOW In My 70's An The Lucy Show Still Makes me Laugh 😂😅🤣😂😂 See Every Good Thing comes to An End* Nothing Last For Ever. REST IN PEACE 🕊️✌️ FROM YOUR GOOD LOVING FAN LORRAINE 😘🐈⬛❤️🌹 THANK YOU 🙏❤️ For Such Warm Memories*

It's laugh out loud funny to me.
Well done on coming out as a lesbian!
I really can't choose just one.. I love them all!
I still watch the show every day and love it
Love this show ❤️
Growing up I always watch the tvland network. One of the show I luv was I luv Lucy /Gillian island/the Andy griffin show/mama’s family ⭐️ Carol Burnett
Thanks for watching, Vee!
I considered the key figures, to be The Fabulous Four, Lucy, Desi, Vivian, and Wm Frawley. But my favorite was Lucille Ball - loved all her tv shows, and her movies both from the 1940's thru the 1968 and even Mame.
RIP 2 everyone on the list. 🙏
The writing on the show was ingenious...
I started watching I love Lucy as a young kid growing up in California. My favorite actor is Lucille Ball.
I’ve watched every episode a dozen times!
I used to binge I Love Lucy at my grandma's house whenever it aired and then play Xbox as a kid lmao.
Lucy was 40 when I Love Lucy began - two years younger than Vivian Vance, six years older than Desi Arnaz. It was interesting that Bill lived to be the oldest - died at 79. Considering his history and lifestyle - this was amazing.
They were all my favorites it's impossible to pick just one.
I loved all the characters...
Thanks for watching, Olivia!
I still Love Lucy
Thanks for watching, Linda!
Such an amazing cast..❤️❤️

I was sick for about 5 months. Many hospital stays and operation. It's a daze because I was on so many pain meds .. But for some reason I binged I Love Lucy..... Lucy and her other shows got me threw hard times
Thanks for watching, Jacob!
Yes, had several deaths amongst family and friends in these past few years. ILL helps lift the spirits with the love and laughter.
Lucy the original queen of comedy
The Dancing Star guest starring Van Johnson is my fave episode, they don't make shows like this anymore
My favorite on I Love Lucy is the one that played her mother.she would always say Rickys name Mickey and I thought that was so cute.even though that would make him so upset he would smile it off
Im 64 yrs old and i remember this im doing good for myself.God Bless the ones that have passed away.May they RIP.
Thanks for watching, Sharon!
