[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 289846, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]The third season of Lucille Ball's third television series, entitled HERE'S LUCY, kicked off with a bang when the Burtons guest-starred as fictionalized versions of themselves. Of course, no one can accuse the show of being outstanding in terms of writing, but one cannot deny the "performance" aspect of Ball's shows. Lucy and Richard didn't get along, so the story goes, but the episode is a standout within the HERE'S LUCY canon. I'd argue that Elizabeth and Richard's guest appearance helped push the show into the Top 5 for the season (it finished strong at #3 in 1971). The episode, called "Lucy Meets the Burtons", is by no means flawless, but it does include a good bit of physical comedy from Lucy, and it is enjoyable seeing Liz & Dick (as the press liked to call them) play up their tabloid image for comedic effect.
