I so wish they were doing something special for the 75th Anniversary of I LOVE LUCY, but yet they're just releasing the same DVDs with a new slip cover.

The temptation to reduce a person to a specific stereotype ("she was a bitch", "she was a sociopath") is overly simplistic.

Ahhhhh, Moon in Capricorn. They even call each other "sociopath".

I'm still doing my I LOVE LUCY binge, but I'm going to get more episodes in the can before I do more write-ups.

I assume you abandoned this. If you didn't make it through the first season, that doesn't surprise me.

Years ago, I read a critic opine that Lucille's legendary reputation was built on very little, four years out of sixty. That rankled me. Surely she at least deserves credit for all six seasons of ILL. Begrudgingly, I have come around. Seasons two through five do most of the heavy lifting for ILL's reputation. The first season is rocky and chaotic, the last season is kind of tired.

I still love it all though, except that lousy episode with Orson Welles.
