Ricardo....although there were some awfully funny episodes when she was Carmichael..............

re: Lucy Ricardo or

I liked all the Lucy shows. I have always told Dave that "if God forbid anything should EVER happen to you. I want a Mr. Mooney in my life"
So I guess my vote would go to Carmichael
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

re: Lucy Ricardo or

Ricardo - mostly because of the whole Ethel connection.

re: Lucy Ricardo or

Carmichael. I still giggle to myself when I recall the bunkbed and the vault (Jack Benny) episodes.

re: Lucy Ricardo or

I liked Carmichael - something about booze-soaked old women is just more fun.

re: Lucy Ricardo or

KMF - I have to go with Vitameatavegamin. I LOVE it when you get a performer taking a solo moment and wringing every last ounce of effect from it.

re: Lucy Ricardo or

Her facial expression when she taste Vita the first time is a master class on comedy --

re: Lucy Ricardo or

Lucy is my all-time favorite female comedian! No one can come close to her natural sense of comedy and timing...not even Carol Burnette, who is wonderful as well. imho. I've got a small collection of Lucy in my office.

Can't pick a favorite episode, Vegameatavitamin is up there with all her Hollywood star encounters, the sunburn wool suit modeling, and the grape stomping secne.

re: Lucy Ricardo or

Ricardo. As Lucy Carmichael she didn't have the same chemistry with Mary Jane as she did with Vivian Vance as Ethel. Even with Vivian Vance playing Vivian bagley for a few seasons, something was missing. I think it was partly due to their age at teh time of The Lucy Show. Lucy couldn't pull off those stunts and seem as lovable as she did when she was on I Love Lucy.

There also seemed to be a piece missing without Desi. The two of them played off of one another perfectly. She ws never able to match that chemistry with Gale Gordon. Of course, I am a bit partial to those hot Latin men and loved Desi.

re: Lucy Ricardo or

I have friends from Europe who grew up never seeing I Love lucy - when they were here a few years ago, I think we spent at tleat two nights watching tapes -- and lal the kept saying is Why didn;t we see this show -- they grew up in Germany (West) -- needless to say I was surprised....

Dump that Babaloo nightclub singer. He is way too anal.

Vitameatavegamin is one of the all-time funniest episodes of any American television show.

re: Lucy Ricardo or

Hey, don't start up on Ricky. He was the original Latin lover. Desi Arnez was also a very savvy business man.

I think he was hot, even if he was a bit anal. What I never unstood was why his name was Ricky Ricardo when Ricky would be the English diminutive of Ricardo. So, was his full name Ricardo Ricardo?

re: Lucy Ricardo or

I am a Lucy fan My favorite episode has to be the one where she bakes bread. I even have I LOve Lucy scenes on my checks

re: Lucy Ricardo or

Ricardo without a doubt. I actually thought THE LUCY SHOW was a tad bit boring.
