But they remained friends.<br /><br />Let us know if you see The Clock skit from Your Show of Shows. All I have to do is see one minute of a skit of those loony-toons and I'm almost on the floor.

I could watch Lucy and Ethel's mishaps forever. :)<br /><br />Remember when she was smuggling steaks under her coat and wheeled a shopping cart into the butchers and tried to outsell his prices? <br /><br />Hysterical!<br /><br />(They'd bought half a cow and ran out of freezing space.

When Ricky is singing 'We're having a baby, my baby and me' as he walks around wondering who in the audience it is. And then Lucy nods. It makes me ache with joy. As a little girl, I thought, ah, this is what love and marriage and family are all about.

All I have to do is hear or see a syllable or two or one catch of the eye, and I'm hooked.<br /><br />My favorite part of your article (besides the fantastic pictures!) is your description of Lucy as a completely feminine woman who could do comedy, slapstick, anything, and still be a total woman. Very insightful remarks. This is a great part of the Lucy Blogathon, Yvette. Kudos!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.com
