I didn't see any name calling either and I don't even like your posts! LOL But feel free to express yourself. I was called a lot WORSE at IMDB by some posters on The View site. There might be a few perks to being a celebrity. You would always get the best table in a restaurant. On the other hand, autograph seekers might pester you so much you wouldn't have time to eat. And of course designers are always willing to lend you their gowns and jewels for the free publicity. But that would also mean sitting through brain numbing awards shows while you wore them. I think if I was a celebrity, I'd be like Katherine Hepburn and NEVER attend those shows. I didn't know Desi Arnaz tried to give Lucy advice. Interesting how they always maintained a relationship. TLS came on in the morning and we watched it during summer vacation. I enjoyed the early B&W shows with Vivian Vance. The later color eps without Vance are even more dated, I agree. I bought a few dvds with some of the later shows(don't know if the show was released by season). It was barely watchable. I only watched a few episodes and could hardly make it through them. The boy who played "Jerry" was hilarious. He had great comedy timing. Jerry was always so cynical and world weary. I read that he got the "Fred Mertz" type dialogue. napsdu- Well if teen-age Chelsea Clinton wasn't " horrified" when daddy was boinking the interns downstairs while she was doing her homework upstairs, then why should Barron be upset? Never heard of any of the Kennedy offspring losing their minds over ole Joe's affairs, JFK's women or Teddy's drunken binges and whoring, etc. You clowns act like President Trump invented sin! Now you IS ALL "horrified", run, run, run for those safe spaces!! LOL Tax loopholes? Loopholes? Weren't they invented by Washington politicians so their big business donors would contribute to their campaigns? I do believe Trump was a big donor. So he gets to take advantage of legal loopholes. So freaking what? Stop talking like someone with two a@@holes! Yes, I just watched that episode last night! Been going through season two. I haven't watched it for a while. I cannot believe that I didn't even remember that episode. Interesting though the connection between women and cats on the show. There was a woman/cat in the first season at a party. Was she a woman who was really a cat or vice versa? Darrin also thought Sam had turned herself into a Siamese cat to spy on him with a client. Now with men, they went to the dogs. LOL Sam turned a client of Darrin's who "pawed" her into a dog in season one. A young Richard Dreyfuss showed up in season two and turned himself into a dog so he could hang around Sam. I think there were a few other man and dog stories later. Mary Grace Canfield was neither cat nor dog, just stuck with a difficult role as a fill in for Alice Pearce. Interesting how she is just as big a snoop as her sister-in-law and was quick to believe all the stories Gladys told her. They say men marry women who remind them of their mothers. Seems like Abner married a woman who reminded him of his sister! There was a magical family, old friends of Samantha's who appeared in the first season. James Doohan (Star Trek's Scotty) appeared as Walter Brocken. He and his wife asked Samantha to babysit for their young warlock son. Coincidentally that young actor went on to appear in two Star Trek episodes! I always wondered why the writers never bothered with last names for most of the witches though. Samantha must've had to use a last name at one point. I was just watching a season two episode, " What Every Young Man Should Know." There are flashbacks to Sam and Darrin's courtship. Darrin is calling his girlfriend Samantha on the phone . She had to have a last name to get a telephone. Who would they send the bill to? ha ha Oh I think she'd have a great new career if the President offered her a job as "court jester". That way she'd make some money and Trump could keep an eye on her. What's that old saying? Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Maybe she could juggle little plastic heads of Trump, Ivanka, Jared, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, the Bush family, etc and for an encore swallow a flaming sword. I'm sure there's be enough room in her big mouth. lol Comic genius, yes, have to agree. But I think that Vivian Vance had a genius all her own. She made it look easy and natural. She more than held her own next to Lucy. I think the "second banana" is an extraordinarily tough role to play. She complemented Lucy's comedy without competing with her. The truly great second bananas make it look easy, e.g. Art Carney as Norton. I used to watch The Lucy Sow in syndication and years later bought some episodes. The early ones with Vivian Bagley are almost as funny as ILL. They were truly a great comedy duo even if they were missing Ricky and Fred. Later when Vance bowed out of a bunch of episodes she was replaced by Ann Sothern who was Lucy's old friend Rosie Harrigan, the Countess. She couldn't hold a candle to Vance's performances. And when Lucy went to L.A. her new best buddy was Mary Jane. Mary Jane Croft was funny in her ILL appearances including her role as Betty Ramsey. But Lucille Ball never had another comedy partner who could equal Vivian Vance, imo. And it was sad that Lucille Ball stayed stuck in the role of Lucy Ricardo. A thirtyish woman who does daffy things is amusing. A woman past fifty who still acts that way is childish. Do you think Miss Ball got bad advice? Or was she so "big" in the industry that no one dared give her advice? I think part of the problem was her loyalty to all her ILL writers. She needed new blood in there. They recycled old scripts for her. Happy four month birthday and a special thanks to your daddy Jim for creating you!! Barron Trump is just a child for heaven's sake. It would be traumatizing for any child to see a lifelike depiction of one of his parents being decapitated. Does Rosie have no empathy for a kid? She has kids herself. Interesting how this was "no big deal" for Barron but college students need safe spaces and you dare not "trigger" them with "microaggression", whatever the heck that is. I recall a few months ago, right after the election, much older college "children" were hysterical after Hillary's loss. They were given counseling, safe spaces, therapy dogs and warm milk and cookies to deal with their awful trauma!! Can't people cut Barron some slack and admit that it's awful for any child to see a bloody replica of his father's head? Oh thanks, I had a vague memory of the episode (Warlock or Washout) but I couldn't remember if he had any powers. I haven't seen seasons seven and eight in a long time and although he was a cute little boy, I hardly recall much about him. Part of the reason for not featuring Adam seemed to be that many stories had already been played out with Tabitha. First, did she have magical powers? Later, Sam was afraid to tell Darrin. Then her "wishcraft" caused all sorts of problems. To retell all those stories would've been redundant. And by season seven the show was already recycling a lot of scripts. The show was also in a different place literally. It was sinking in the ratings and the story arcs they tried (maybe to boost their ratings) didn't include the children. The season seven opener was a long arc of stories that sent them to Salem. There were some cute stories with Adam as a baby, but then not much else. I liked the episode when they named him. Maurice says that his great grandfather was named Adam. Darrin looks shocked. Maurice says, "NOT that Adam!' lol Katherine Card, yeah she was funny! I love her other line too about the birthday cake and Ricky giving her a kiss. Five years later she gets a card from him. "When I kiss 'em, they stay kissed." bwbphile and db20db- thanks guys (or gals!) I don't know about "feminine empowerment". I just have a big mouth I guess. I really planned a "do-over" at this site and not get into the political arguments like I did on 'The View' site on IMDB. But that darned trending bar pulled me in! ha I'd read things and I couldn't help myself. While I love the Van Johnson episode, you hit on the one thing that bugged me. All of a sudden Carolyn needs glasses! I could accept the premise about her wearing contact lenses. Or even that she started to need glasses. It's not unusual for an adult to need them. I remember a friend of mine, in her thirties who was always squinting. She finally gave in and had an eye exam. She needed glasses. But Carolyn never wore those glasses again. The Hedda Hopper one has at least one scene that makes me laugh. Lucy tells her mother that Ricky might become the next Rudolph Valentino, Mrs. MacGillicuddy's idol. Every time she looks at Ricky she bursts out laughing. Just thought of another favorite, Lucy getting a role as a showgirl and careening down the staircase in that heavy headdress, driving the director nuts. "Wouldn't you like to see me die?" "Don't tempt me Mrs. Ricardo." "Fred and Ethel all decked out in LEATHER." Now those are words that you don't see in the same sentence very often. LOL Very funny, but did tightwad Fred think that would be cheaper than buying train or bus tickets? They'd have to pay to ship their luggage home. He'd have to pay for gas and meals. They'd have to stop at least a few times to get a motel room to sleep. But knowing Fred, he'd take the back roads so they could sleep in the woods and forage for nuts and berries! ha Branais- sorry, didn't mean it to sound like I was being hard on you. But Griffin's "sorry" is a s phony as it gets. I saw the video of her telling the photographer to "get ready to leave the country." She knew what a $h#@storm she was planning to release, too bad she forgot her raincoat and umbrella. Now she's out there with a civil-rights lawyer. Can you beat that? "Trump is messing with the wrong redhead. I have been dealing with older white guys who have been trying to ruin my career my whole life." The chutzpah! She starts this crap and now she's a victim. I wish the media and the President would totally ignore her. That's the one thing that would drive this attention whore crazy! Gotta give her credit for being fast though. Couldn't play the race card because she's white. But it took her all of one day to play the "boo-hoo, picking on a plucky little female" gender card. Maybe she'll convert to Islam and decide to become a man. There's TWO more cards she could play! bwbphile- "Running for village idiot somewhere?" Really? Is that an elected post? Maybe in her case , it is hereditary. LOL Oh, seriously, her "apology" is as genuine as her botoxed mug. And she "said" she received death threats? So now we are suppose to believe this paragon of honesty and virtue. LOL I imagine that some people told her to " drop dead" though. Madonna dreamed of "blowing up the White House". Making death threats to the President is a felony. But far from receiving death threats, I wish those two losers could share a cell in prison. . Maybe she is a "victim". I am thinking 'victim' of prenatal child abuse. From the way she sounds when she opens her pie hole, I wouldn't be surprised if her mother drank a lot of alcohol and did massive amounts of crack while pregnant. How else to explain the brainlessness of her remarks? Your ignorance is truly frightening, but VERY, VERY heartening to Washington politicians AND big daddy GOVERNMENT who want control of our lives!! My God, how DEPRESSING! They are asking you to take it up the a## and you willingly bend over! oh! klever kewl kat--Ha ha! I just KNEW "religion" would find its way into the conversation. Not that anyone who admires Mrs. Clinton would have any understanding of basic morality!! I am NOT "programmed", but I'd say you are if you put your "faith" in "Holy Mother" Hillary.(a false goddess if there ever was one) Just FYI, my religious beliefs and belief in the Ten Commandments were formed in childhood. Self serving criminals always raised my religious antennae. If it's "superstitious" to distrust a self serving sociopath like that broom rider, well guilty here! Was the video of Mrs. Clinton being greeted with bouquets of flowers in Bosnia "right wing propaganda"? Duh. CAN you actually BE that stupid or brainwashed? It is scary. Please stop voting until you have the MRI that bwbphile suggested. LOL I actually SAW and heard her on the news when confronted with that lie of "sniper fire"!!!! Her excuse (what else does she HAVE, except a basket of excuses?) was that she had jet lag and "misspoke". Ha ha, like "jet lag" causes most people to lie. I used to be a flight attendant and I and other crew members would be jet lagged from flying back and forth to Europe several times a month. That is, actually WORKING on a flight and not sitting with my fat a##ed pantsuit in a seat being waited on by the peons. None of US had a problem with the truth, even though jetlagged and tired. You folks will eat up any swill that woman feeds you. Bon appetite!
