[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 442409, member: 7"] I gave up on my episode-by-episode I LOVE LUCY binge, but I've decided to take advantage of the "shuffle" feature Paramount+ has now by watching random episodes of the show for a nice change of pace. Over the past couple of days, I've managed to get in three episodes -- not too many as of yet, but I've enjoyed all three of them. "Fan Magazine Interview" (S3:E17) "The Star Upstairs" (S4:E25) "Lucy Cries Wolf" (S4:E3) Each of these episodes were very funny, with "The Star Upstairs" being the most surprising for me. I always remember kinda-sorta disliking this episode, but this go-round I found myself laughing several different times. Bobby the bellboy during the Hollywood episodes (guest star Bob Jellison) is easily one of the funniest side characters on the show. Unfortunately, movie star Cornel Wilde (guest starring as himself) isn't given much to do, which I guess is this episode's primary drawback. Wilde's just... there. He's not funny, he's not bad. He's just... there. "Fan Magazine Interview" might be my next favorite of the trio, with Lucy and Ricky putting on their best act of wedded bliss so journalist Eleanor Harris (guest star Joan Banks) can write a lovey-dovey article about how happily married the Ricardos are. "Lucy Cries Wolf" is a very standard, albeit good, I LOVE LUCY episode where Lucy tries to prove Ricky's love for her by faking a break-in, only to become an actual victim at the end of the episode when nobody believes her anymore. It was good, but just run-of-the-mill I LOVE LUCY fare, so not particularly a standout. [/QUOTE]
