[QUOTE="Chris2, post: 439471, member: 495"] The first season of the Lucy Show is a solid show and better than anything that came after it in Lucille Ball’s TV career. And it has some classic physical comedy moments, like the shower and the antenna. I agree with you about Gale Gordon, and he’s mercifully absent from that first season. But The Lucy Show lacks the perfectly drawn characters and acting of the ILL quartet. The setup of the two families sharing the house feels contrived, as opposed to the more straightforward setup of ILL. The kids are cardboard cutout props that add little to the show. Candy Moore as Chris is so artificial, it’s cringy every time she opens her mouth. It’s just not in the same league as ILL. [/QUOTE]
