The Lucy Show | Season 5, Episode 1 -

REVIEW :

Although terribly funny, your enjoyment of this one will depend on your feelings about Burns as Lucy throws most of the episode his way and the second act consists almost entirely of them doing a stage routine.

When visiting the bank as a customer, George Burns finds out that Lucy is instinctively funny and asks her to become a partner in his show. Mr. Mooney, who thinks this is an opportunity to get rid of her, accepts being her agent. The show opens in Santa Monica, where the new pair appear in a Burns and Allen-style act. George Burns is the straight man and Lucy the comedienne, who delivers the punchlines.

There is a beautiful voice cameo from Jack Benny that is very funny where Mooney hands George the phone immediately and walks out of the apartment.

RANDOM FACTS :

Gracie Allen had been dead for two years when this episode aired as the 5th Season Opener in 1966. There is a brand new set for Mooney's office but nothing about this is mentioned in the script.

The set decorators are obviously still taking advantage of the advent of telecasting in color. Lucy's pink suit and the blue furnishings in Burns' apartment are very eye-catching and George looks very tanned here.

From the 1965–66 season onward, with the change in format, a number of celebrities guest starred on The Lucy Show, usually playing themselves under the premise that the Lucy Carmichael character, now living in Hollywood, crossed paths with them, either in her day-to-day life, or through her job at the bank. These included Jack Benny, Mickey Rooney, Carol Burnett, George Burns, Joan Crawford, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Dean Martin, Phil Silvers, Frankie Avalon, Wayne Newton, Robert Stack, Mel Tormé, John Vivyan, Jack Cassidy, Clint Walker, and Milton Berle.

No deep thoughts here, just sheer humor and silly entertainment with good laughs, and some nice scenes.

Thank you in advance for SUBSCRIBING.
