I Love Lucy

The fifties brought on dazzling star Lucille
Zany and bubbly she was ideal 
O like no other sitcom
Pure entertainment for Mom
Laughing at each week's new crazy ordeal

Gershon Wolf Date: 2/7/2019 10:19:00 PM Remember the immortal lines of her husband? -- "Lucy, I'n hone!" (I don't know if that was intentional or not, but it used to just crack my mom up!) ~ gw Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/7/2019 10:45:00 PM Brings back so many good memories. Thanks for your visit and comment, Gershon.

M. L. Kiser Date: 2/4/2019 4:17:00 AM You know, I think I've never laughed harder at anyone than I did Lucille Ball and Carole Burnett. Lucy's took the cake when it came to predicaments; they don't make comedians like her anymore. A lovely tribute to one of the greats.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 2/2/2019 10:56:00 PM Line, you are preaching to the choir. I watch Lucy and Ethel and Harvey Korman and Carol Burnett on a regular basis. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/3/2019 11:23:00 AM LOL no wonder you have such a good sense of humor, Caren.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/2/2019 8:46:00 AM The show still runs on Hallmark in the morning. Lucy was so loveable. Best wishes in the contest.

Tom Cunningham Date: 2/2/2019 7:20:00 AM Wow, used to watch that religiously every week, Where's the last fifty years gone. Tom. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/2/2019 9:28:00 PM LOL - when you find out, Tom, let me know.

Bartholomew Williams Date: 2/1/2019 10:56:00 PM Very nicely done, Line. I love that show! Lucille Ball was truly a one-of-a-kind talent - in black-and-white and color TV. Very best wishes to you for a strong placement in the Limericks 4 poetry contest. Have a nice weekend! All good things to you and yours, :) Bartholomew Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/2/2019 9:30:00 PM And they tinted a lot of old shows to add color. Back when color TVs first came out they were only for the rich people of course. Bartholomew Williams Date: 2/1/2019 11:12:00 PM I agree - "I Love Lucy" was only in black-and-white. But one or both of her later shows (after her divorce from Desi Arnaz, I believe), "Here's Lucy" and "The Lucy Show," were in color TV. Have a great night, Line! :) Bartholomew Line Gauthier Date: 2/1/2019 11:04:00 PM Color TV!? LOL Thanks for your most appreciated visit and comment, Bartholomew.
