What are some of your favorite "I Love Lucy" moments?
Most of mine, I believe, are not some of the more famous ones that you always see or hear about, except of course, when she was stomping the grapes and doing the commercial for the product I am not even going to attempt to spell.
One that really made me laugh was from the episode "Lucy Cries Wolf," where she tries to trick Ricky into thinking the place is being burglarized, but her plan is later foiled by a neighbor and Ricky discovers the truth. Lucy is sulking in the hallway over the whole thing when two real burglars come and carry her away. Ricky, Fred, and Ethel are inside listening to her scream for help, thinking she's simply pulling a prank.
It's easily one of the funniest damn things watching Lucy getting carried away by the two men, trying to squirm her away out of their arms, but failing miserably while screaming, "Ricky! HEEEEEELP! HEEEEELP!"
Another favorite comes from the later incarnation, The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour. The Ricardos and Mertzes go to Alaska to survey some property they bought. They end up splitting a suite with Red Skelton, but the sleeping arrangements are pretty bare. Lucy is having to sleep in a hammock and is having a really tough time staying it. She falls out of it about three or four times before finally settling in, only to have fall out two more times because Mr. Skelton keeps opening the door the hammock happens to be hooked to enter the room and continuously knocks Lucy out of it.
The hammock routine was one we've seen done endlessly in other films and TV series, but there was just something extra hysterical when LUCY did it.
