She is Lily of the Valley, he is the good Prince Lancelot, Lucy is in a pickle. Its “The Operetta,” a delightful little satire that reminds us just how talented Vivian Vance and William Frawley are.

Lucy handcuffs Ricky to her because she wants a date night. That’s pretty saucy if you ask me!

Hiya, cats! Lucy breaks out the old saxophone to try and get into Ricky’s band tour. But when it doesn’t work, the Ricardos trade tricks and pranks until, of course, Lucy wins. Stay up here and get your kicks, man!

Speed it up a little! It’s time to talk about the iconic chocolate factory scene. And feminism, and capitalism, and history, and failure.  This one has so much to talk about!

Wow, we made it to the end of the 1st season, and with a splash! When Ricky is out of work, Lucy, Ethel, and our boy Fred work to show the Tropicana how many people love Ricky…by pretending to be all those many people. Plus, Xavier Valdez deserved more. Plus plus, a quick update on the summer and a note of sincere gratitude.

Lucy Ricardo shows that sometimes she’s the reasonable one in this marriage when Ricky hears an offhanded comment and takes it way too far. But why wait for someone to move on from a little moment of insecurity when you can spend your entire emergency fund on it and beat your husband with a whisk?

Break out your bullet journals, the Ricardos are getting organized! This time, Lucy and Ricky are facing the biggest enemy of our time - gross patriarchal ideology. We meet WASPS icon Phoebe Littlefield, and I am forced to admit that Fred Mertz is not a perfect angel baby. I’m sad, but that’s what you get when you’re a butt.

It's time for a change of pace! I Love Lucy slows down the physical comedy and focuses on wordplay this week for a delightfully silly episode. When Ricky knows the answers to a radio quiz show’s tough questions, Lucy thinks she’s married to a genius, and gets him on the air, to hilarious results.
