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.

June’s organization - Happy Pride! Support Queer kids in Florida: https://www.eqfl.org/
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.

It's time for a change of pace! I Love Lucy slows down the physical comedy and focuses on wordplay this week for a delightfully silly episode. When Ricky knows the answers to a radio quiz show’s tough questions, Lucy thinks she’s married to a genius, and gets him on the air, to hilarious results.

Oh boy. I love Lucy Ricardo but this episode made my voice raspy. Its time for a quick acknowledgement of another way Hollywood has a history of being very disappointing where non-white cultures are concerned, which is very, very important.

You want a bargain, tell you what I’m gonna do - it's a new episode! When Lucy and Ethel buy a freezer and 700 pounds of meat to go in it, they embark on a madcap journey to keep it from Ricky and Fred, which ends in one of the series’ most iconic images!
I sound a bit out of breath this episode, and that's because I am currently VERY pregnant! I apologize and this just adds another reason to look forward to giving birth!

Ricky’s friends are visiting from Cuba, and Lucy gets to be the fish out of water for once. We take a brief detour to thirst after Desi Arnaz and his sex appeal, before having a frank reflection on Desi’s legacy as a Cuban performer. I went through a lot of emotions this week.
Happy Passover to those who celebrate!

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.

We made it to instagram’s favorite colorized episode, Pioneer Women! This week, the gang lives without modern conveniences. Lucy bakes a giant loaf of bread, Ethel churns a tiny amount of butter. Fred and Ricky have a lovely time, and they all look GREAT in period clothes.

Grandpa Ricardo is here! Oh wait, that’s Lucy in a fabulous beard. This week, Lucy’s attempts to prove to Ricky how silly he looks…well, let’s just say it Lucy look even more silly. We talk the awkward cultural appropriation moments, Lucy dressing in a FABULOUS suit and cosplaying as Colonel, and the Mertzes’ fabulous vaudeville show.

10 o’clock in the living room and all’s well! Lucy goes slapstick AND political in the same episode when the gang thinks their new neighbors are foreign agents and get into some pretty zany hijinks that could honestly be pulled from today’s headlines. 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. 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.

Lucy wants a part in Ricky's show, and this time, she decides to "develop a complex" to get it! What follows is a master class (I know, I know, I overuse that term) in comedic character work. 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 talk failure in comedy, the very lucky and precise magic of the show, and how to find value in, frankly, a not great episode of a very great show.

Lucy Ricardo is at the top of her game this week as she gets one over on Ricky at a Women's Club event. This episode is jam packed with so many fun moments, it should be required viewing for any Lucy enthusiast.

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.

Get out the ouija board, because spooky season is still here! Today we're talking numerology, horoscopes, and the fact that Ethel is a Leo?! 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! There were some pretty risque jokes happening here. Saucy.

This week, Lucy dons her iconic Professor character, and we get another great example of the Arnaz family chemistry. This episode is as funny as it is non-sensical. Side thoughts include some dark ponderings on why this episode isn't as famous as the Classic Lucy Moments, and the origins of Babalu.
