	TVAVE.com -- I Love Lucy
		Lucy tries to get into the act — a recurring and almost omnipresent theme on the show, was that "talentless" plain old Lucy the Housewife dearly desired a chance to perform, as anything: a dancer, showgirl, clown, singing cowboy — or in any role.
		Lucy Tries to Meet the Famous Star — another recurring theme, many popular stars were eager to appear on the show, and hilarity ensues in countless episodes as a result of the character, Lucy's obsession with fame and the famous.
		Ricky, Lucy, Fred, and Ethel participate in a square dance called by Cousin Ernie to escape a Bent Fork, Tennessee jail in the course of which the sheriff and his two Rubenesque daughters are tied up with a handy piece of rope.

	Lucy in Westport
		In typical madcap style, Lucy Ricardo accidentally destroys the statue -- which her bandleader husband Ricky was to dedicate.
		In the final season of "I Love Lucy," the Ricardos (and, of course, the Mertzes) move from New York City to Westport -- just as one of the comedy series writers, Bob Weiskopf, had done after his son was born.
		In the 10 episodes based in Westport, Lucy wreaks hilarious havoc in town with her neighbors and all the staid suburban organizations she joins, from the garden club ("Lucy Raises Tulips") to the country club.

	tvdvdreviews.com -- I Love Lucy: The Complete First Season DVD Review
		Lucy aspires to be in show business, but Ricky wants her to continue being a housewife.
		Lucy's demonstration of how a moving target is harder to hit is extraordinarily funny, but the episode lacks the polish of those to come.
		Lucy does get to appear in Ricky's show, but thanks to a little mix-up, she combines the ballet and the burlesque with hilarious results.

	I Love Lucy
		Ricky is the orchestra leader for the Tropicana nightclub; Lucy is a frustrated housewife who longs to escape the confinement of her domestic role and participate in a larger public world, preferably to join Ricky in show business.
		In episode after episode Lucy rebels against the confinements of domestic life for women, the dull routines of cooking and housework, the petty humiliation of a wife's financial dependence, the straightjacket of demure femininity.
		Lucy Ricardo's attempts at rebellion are usually sabotaged by her own incompetence, but Lucille Ball's virtuosity as a performer perversely undermines the narrative's explicit message, creating a tension which cannot be resolved.

	NWSA Journal--Millions Love Lucy
		Because Lucy's ambitions are thwarted in part because of her status as a woman, particularly as a married woman without financial or creative autonomy, the object of her trickery is often to subvert her husband's authority through the covert tactics of "feminine wiles" available to her.
		Lucy is specifically a female trickster because her attempts to circumvent the limitations of the feminine mystique of postwar domesticity oscillate between "masculine" and "feminine" social roles, spaces, and practices, and metaphors.
		Lucy gets the last laugh, or maybe is only the butt of the last laugh, depending on the viewer's interpretation of the ambiguous image of Lucy bringing out the dismantled, chaotic guts of the television set she took apart in order to put herself in the console.

	I Love Lucy / TVparty!
		While Lucy was known to stretch the truth from time to time (she tried to pass her head off as a clay sculpture in one episode pass fake flowers off as real in another), there are innumerable times throughout the series when Ricky's lack of truthfulness results in utter embarrassment for his wife.
		Not wanting to end up with egg on her face, Lucy has to track down Van and then, to prove to Carolyn that the two are friends, has to plead with him to be in a dance number with her.
		On I Love Lucy, rather than being the instigator of outrageous acts or the dreamer of pipe dreams, in actuality Lucy was far more likely to simply be the victim of circumstance or of her husband's Latin machismo.

	I Love Lucy : tvland.com
		Each episode opens with a plausible situation (home economy, child rearing, postdating a check) thrown awry with exaggerated absurdity (Lucy is starched, frozen, stuffed with chocolate, locked in a trunk, and lowered to the deck of a ship by helicopter, just to name a few).
		Yet somehow, Lucy never seems to lose touch with the audience - the show is human, and so are we.
		Be sure to join Ricky, Lucy, Fred, and Ethel on TV Land as we celebrate this timeless classic.

	TIME 100: Lucille Ball
		It happened somewhere between the clunky premier episode (Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying to Murder Her) and her first classic routine, the Vitameatavegamin commercial, in which Lucy gets steadily soused as she keeps downing spoonfuls of the alcohol-laced potion she's trying to hawk on TV.
		Lucy Ricardo was, in those early I Love Lucy episodes, just a generic daffy housewife.
		Lucy's quirks and foibles — her craving to be in show biz, her crazy schemes that always backfired, the constant fights with the Mertzes — became as particularized and familiar as the face across the dinner table.

	TV Tidbits Presents: The Lucy [Web] Show
		When Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz went to her hometown, Jamestown, N.Y., in 1956 to premiere their movie Forever Darling, the family who lived in the house in which Lucy grew up was gracious enough to allow Lucy and Desi in to revisit.
		This picture captures them in the entrance hall, where Lucy is no doubt recalling the impromptu curtain she used to throw up right about where she is standing, in order to present her "theatricals" to the family.
		I had the pleasure of meeting Doris Singleton (aka Carolyn Appleby) in Jamestown, N.Y. several years ago (left), at one of the Lucy festivals.

		Trivia: Because of limited space on the sound stage, the Ricardo's bedroom and the Mertz's living room is the same set with different furniture.
		Goofs: Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Lucy and Ricky swap apartments with a couple downstairs; therefore, in most episodes they are in 3D (and thus on the same floor as the Mertzes), but in some they are in 4A and living upstairs from the Mertz's.
		One last little thing to note,in the episodes where the Ricardos and Mertzes move to Connecticut,there is a Grandfather clock by the front door of Lucy and Ricky's home.

		I LOVE LUCY debuted in 1951 and quickly set a new standard for situation comedy with its well-crafted plotlines, live tapings, multiple camera angles, and one of the finest ensemble casts in television history.
		Centered around the domestic life of zany redhead Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) and her Cuban-born husband Ricky (Lucy's real-life spouse Desi Arnaz), the series also broke the cultural taboos of the whitebread 1950s by featuring an interracial marriage and a female lead who was less than the obedient housewife.
		Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet make cute with Jude Law and Jack Black, respectively, in "The Holiday," the latest romantic comedy from director and screenwriter Nancy Meyers.
