I Love Lucy

Today I am going to explain or splain about the very funny sitcom I Love Lucy.  If your not familiar with this comedy then you should know that it stars Lucille Ball (Lucy) and Desi Arnaz( Ricky). This show is basically about Lucy, Ricky's wife, getting into all this trouble to do something but it always ends up taking a detour. And not working out the way that she wanted. She is basically a Gilligan (if you read my introduction blog, about gilligans island.) She is a very funny comedian, and she makes the show very  hilarious  with Desi.

This show has six seasons, and there is only one episode is in color, the rest are in black in white. The one episode that is in color is the Christmas special that airs annually in December . I have four favorite episodes, they are: "Lucy's Italian Movie", "Lucy does a Commercial", "L.A. at Last", and "redecorating". Each of these episodes are their own comedic way of expressing life. Their life is especially weird and fascinating because of Lucy.

In "Lucy's Italian movie", Lucy goes to the grape vineyard and she starts to squish grapes in this big vat and the other person that is squishing the grapes gets mad and so they end up throwing grapes at each other and Lucy ends up making another one of her messes. In "Lucy does a Commercial", Lucy goes on a commercial and she is the  "vitameatavegamin girl". They make her drink this drink and since she isn't a professional she has to redo the commercial lots of times. In one of her retries she starts to slur her words, so the directors read the ingredients and alcohol was in it so she was really hysterical, like she was on laughing gas. Which made for a really funny episode, it is one of the most famous episodes. In "LA at last", Lucy and her friends go to a nice restaurant, while Ricky her husband goes to a job interview thing. There she mets this really famous person, that she really likes. So she starts to stare behind a pot and he gets creeped out, so he starts to stare back at her and she got uncomfortable, then ending up spilling food over him. Finally in "redecorating" Lucy wants new wallpaper so she does it with Ethel but ends up putting wallpaper over the doors including the closet where Ethel was. 

One of the most popular quotes is " Lucy you've got some splaining to do" which Ricky would yell when Lucy did  something wrong. That's why I used splaining in the beginning of the blog. It was really funny in one episode Ricky asked how to spell explain and Lucy spelled it, then Ricky said " there's and 'ex' in it?" In " Lucy and superman" Lucy got stuck on the ledge outside their apartment and superman ends up saving her and asked Ricky "you've been married to her 15 years? And they call me superman!" So anyway hope you don't have to splain anything.
