I think he should have included that one where Lucy and Ethel hitchhike to Florida and then come to believe their driver is a killer on the lam.
And also that one where the ladies try to build a barbecue pit.
Well, of all the Mattel Lucy dolls that have been made, 5 of them are on this list, so I'd say that's a pretty good list. My sister-in-law has most of the Mattel dolls and displays them on her "Lucy shrine", a table covered with and surrounded by Lucy dolls, mugs, books, videos, etc. She has been a Lucy fan for, wow, about 10 years or so now! Lutheran Lucy, I need to find out how to get a link to my blog on my profile, but here is a link: Barb the Evil Genius.
Yes, thanks to my husband and family, I have a good collection of pictures, memorabilia, and a Lucy doll (from the "L.A. At Last" episode)! Of course, we have oodles and oodles of books, videos and a few DVDs too. Does your sister-in-law have a good collection of Lucy books and videos as well?
Thanks for the link to your blog - I am anxious to check it out! :) Blessings!
Scottius, I agree with you! Those are great episodes in addition to the John Wayne ones! :)
Yes, my sister-in-law has quite a few Lucy books and videos. She has videos from some of Lucy's other shows too, like "The Lucy Show." She's even visited Lucy's birthplace.
Hi Barb! I am sorry for not responding sooner! Thank you for your comment! That is really neat that your sister-in-law was able to go to Jamestown, New York! That is a lifelong dream of mine!! :) We do have some DVDs of The Lucy Show too which was good too. I Love Lucy is still my favorite though!
Blessings!
