Wow, we made it to the end of the 1st season, and with a splash! When Ricky is out of work, Lucy, Ethel, and our boy Fred work to show the Tropicana how many people love Ricky…by pretending to be all those many people. Plus, Xavier Valdez deserved more. Plus plus, a quick update on the summer and a note of sincere gratitude.

Wow, we made it to the end of the 1st season, and with a splash! When Ricky is out of work, Lucy, Ethel, and our boy Fred work to show the Tropicana how many people love Ricky…by pretending to be all those many people. Plus, Xavier Valdez deserved more. Plus plus, a quick update on the summer and a note of sincere gratitude.

Lucy Ricardo shows that sometimes she’s the reasonable one in this marriage when Ricky hears an offhanded comment and takes it way too far. But why wait for someone to move on from a little moment of insecurity when you can spend your entire emergency fund on it and beat your husband with a whisk?

Break out your bullet journals, the Ricardos are getting organized! This time, Lucy and Ricky are facing the biggest enemy of our time - gross patriarchal ideology. We meet WASPS icon Phoebe Littlefield, and I am forced to admit that Fred Mertz is not a perfect angel baby. I’m sad, but that’s what you get when you’re a butt.

Welcome to this week’s episode, wherein both Lucy and Ricky need to get a grip and take a beat. But I’m glad they didn’t because this episode is the most fun and it certainly wouldn’t be if either of them had any chill whatsoever. This episode makes me so happy, and I hope you love this one as much as I do!

When Lucy finds her marriage license and sees a typo in Ricky’s name, she’s concerned that the Ricardo marriage might not be legal. So how does Ricky help that situation? By tricking her into thinking the marriage is absolutely not legal, like any good husband would. So the Ricardos embark on a little trip to Connecticut to recreate their engagement and wedding, with a cameo from the Arnazes’ real life wedding venue! Plus, Mrs. Trumbell shows up (kind of!). Plus plus, I rewrite the ending because this plot bugged me.

10 o’clock in the living room and all’s well!

It's Lucy’s amazing physical comedy mixed with Ricky, Ethel, and Fred buying right into the lunacy. Plus, actors ruin everything.

Keep jiggling, Peggy! Its time for the Ricardos to team up against the worst possible adversary: horny teenagers. We get some classic Ricky moments and a reminder that Lucy Ricardo is an absolute babe. This is a suer fun bottle episode, even if there’s no Fred or Ethel. Plus, I try a new intro style.

Keep jiggling, Peggy! Its time for the Ricardos to team up against the worst possible adversary: horny teenagers. We get some classic Ricky moments and a reminder that Lucy Ricardo is an absolute babe. This is a suer fun bottle episode, even if there’s no Fred or Ethel. Plus, I try a new intro style. Let me know if you like it!

Lucy wants to be in the show, what else is new? The Ballet is some comic excellence. This episode has everything we love about Lucy Ricardo - physical comedy, misunderstandings, an insistence on being in the show, a pie in the face! Make that two! This is one I loved so much, I got a little intense. Thanks for listening <3

It's a Mertz/Ricardo throwdown episode! This week, the Ricardos are too loud and the Mertzes are too grumpy. What follows is one of the most hectic I Love Lucy episodes we've watched yet. Plus, cameos by two Lucy regulars - Hazel Pierce and the very lovely, very tragic Barbara Pepper.

She's so good, folks. This episode is super playful and such a treat! Plus, we talk Tallulah Bankhead, who should 100 percent be even more of an icon than she is.

Welcome to The Amateur Hour, where Lucy Ricardo battles my new nemesis, a child named Jimmy (and another child named Timmy, who is not fully my nemesis). Required disclaimer because the internet loves to take things a bit seriously: I love children, I have nothing against children, but Jimmy is just the worst and I won't apologize for that.

We're back! Sorry for the delay while I recovered. This week, Lucille Ball is wailing as Lucy Ricardo thinks Ricky has been drafted. When Ethel thinks Fred is going too, Ricky and Fred jump to the only logical conclusion - that the girls are pregnant. What could possibly go wrong?

We're back! Sorry for the delay while I recovered. This week, Lucille Ball is wailing as Lucy Ricardo thinks Ricky has been drafted. When Ethel thinks Fred is going too, Ricky and Fred jump to the only logical conclusion - that the girls are pregnant. What could possibly go wrong?

Thanks for listening, please subscribe if you haven't already. Have a wonderful New Year!

I'm still sick, but that can't stop me from spiraling into a mild depression over this episode! This week, we talk growing up and realizing how sad this episode really is. We reflect on the marriage between Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz and how sometimes loving someone just isn't enough. There's brief mention of WandaVision, and an even briefer mention of Lord Farquad. Thank you for being here for what will likely be the darkest episode of the series for me. Please come back next week when we're back to enjoying comedy.

Lucy is appalled at Ricky's messiness, and I don't blame her! The Ricardos square off in classic I Love Lucy style, with Lucy getting the upper hand as a bear hunting, chicken farming, itchy nightmare. It's fantastic, and made me so happy. Let's talk Lucy Ricardo as a rebel against the 1950s "housewife" stereotype. She's the best.

This episode made my little heart sing - we really get to see the ensemble coming together. Its the first sign of the show being what made it special - watching Lucille Ball, Vivian Vance, William Frawley, and Desi Arnaz working together is pure magic. Plus!
