The Amateur Hour

Watched this ep last night...one I hadn't viewed in ages. I'd forgotten how funny this one is, and also how truly ROTTEN those fraternal twins are!! It's actually creepy when they tie Lucy up, stuff newspaper in her back, and when she screams for (genuine) help, the one brat says, "Gag her." One wonders how far they would've went had the boys' mother not called ("Is Mrs. Ricardo on fire?"). It paid off, though. Lucy got her $5 an hour, AND won the $100 prize! AND she got to be in a show!!

Haven't watched this one in a long time. Maybe I'll watch tonight.

It is a funny episode. Those boys were twin terrors. Interesting though that they were not twins, not even related in real life.

Nowadays those kids would be on heavy doses of Ritalin. I wonder if their mother would have any legal liability if they had indeed set Lucy on fire?
