I Love Lucy

Ricky Ricardo, handsome talent of the Tropicana show. serious, he cracks the whip, practices - his bongos distract us. Lucy, his fiery red-headed wife - we follow her madcap schemes, her showbiz dreams. Fred, dumpy, grumpy, nearly dead except he comes alive with dance - far-fetched romance. Ethel, the love of his life? Well… a partner in dance. Lucy’s sometimes friend. They always make up in the end. Little Ricky, bongo player — itty bitty show stealer. Not a natural son, Keith’s not credited but the golden ticket, he won! I Love Lucy gets along famously, handles the trite matters of life. Laughter on a silver platter. 9/5/2021

Oh, you've brought back the nostalgia of it all so nicely, Kim! Thanks! My favorite line on the show was Ricky (Desi) returning from the club at night to say, and I quote him: "I'n hone, Lucy. I'n hone." Smiles, Gershon

these dated sitcoms are a treasure in our current turbulent days. I love turning to comedy for a much needed release.

I always enjoyed watching I Love Lucy. Been a long time ago though. I enjoyed reading your interpretation of the show. If for a contest, reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Thank you! Some poignant ones such as when Ricky finds out Lucy is with child and many, many, many funny ones! They made a childhood great! God bless, sweet friend!
