[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 423203, member: 7"] Season 1 S1, E6 - "The Audition" S1, E7 - "The Seance" S1, E8 - "Men Are Messy" I finally got a few more in the can. "The Audition" episode is, as many may already know, a remake of the unaired pilot which, in turn, as a filmed version of the Vaudeville-type show Lucy and Desi toured in to convince CBS that American audiences would embrace them as a couple on TV. It's a very good episode for the most part, and it introduces us to the series-long recurring storyline of Lucy trying endlessly to get a break in show business. Lucy's bit at the tail end of the episode dressed as a clown are quite funny, and I like the little nod they do in the very last scene when they reveal Lucy received a contract offer instead of Ricky. "The Seance" and "Men Are Messy" are the two weakest episodes I've watched so far. In the former, Lucy & Co. do a faux seance to impress this theatre producer (Jay Novello, who will be back for more guest appearances later) so he'll hire Ricky for one of his new shows. I don't like stories about seances, and I almost skipped this episode, but decided to watch it out of my commitment to watch all of I LOVE LUCY. I do like the little bit during the seance where Lucy and Fred think the other are actually voices "from the other side". In the latter, we get a generic sitcom set-up of Men vs. Women. The men are dirty, the women are clean. That's the way it goes, or so this episode tells us. The ending is quite predictable with Lucy messing up a publicity photo shoot for Ricky with "Look" magazine. Overall, these three episodes left me a little underwhelmed. [/QUOTE]
