[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 439364, member: 5079"] Probably my second least favorite episode, only marginally prefer it over Orson Welles because at least Lucy & Hope had good chemistry. Both represent my least favorite addition to Lucy's comedy: being obnoxious when meeting a celebrity. Some of the Hollywood episodes handled it well, but all of the celebrity episodes after are just Lucy being an annoying jerk. It's one of the reasons I don't care for her other sitcoms, because it became such a recurring plot. The first season has its share of duds, but I prefer it over the last season. S1 is chaotic, but everyone is so lively. Lucy & Desi are so young and vibrant. There's reason to believe Lucy Ricardo was originally meant to be in her late 20s -- thus, why she was so childish and bratty -- and even at 40, Lucille pulled if off. By the last season, everyone was so middle aged, puffy and tired. Well except Frawley who was just old at that point. [/QUOTE]
