Episode Five "Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying To Murder Her" First Aired NOVEMBER 5, 1951

I really LOVE this one! I have to admit, I have probably watched this episode 30 times. It is funny even from the beginning.

In this episode......well the title really explains itself. Ricky came home one night to find Lucy reading "The Mocking Bird Murder Mystery", she was so engrossed in the book she dipped her cracker into Cold Cream instead of Cheddar Cheese and didn't even notice it. (When I was a young child I actually dipped my cracker in Cold Cream "To be like Lucy" and I almost gagged.) Anyway......When Ricky came to kiss her, she threw her book out the window and had to wait till morning to find it. When she was explaining the book to Ricky he made up his own theory of what happened, who killed the heroine, what did the murderer  use.....

  • Gun......"Too loud"
  • Knife....."Too sloppy"
  • A SCARF....."Perfect!"
Lucy didn't think anything of it at first, but when Ethel came and told Lucy her fortune which said that she was going to die she got really scared.

Reasons why she thinks Ricky is going to murder her......
  1. Overhears a startling phone call
  2. Finds a "Gun"
  3. Thinks Ricky slipped her a Micky
Here are some pics and a short clip from today's episode.

I have been having fun, fun, fun looking at different clips. This one was delightful. I happened across this one in the bloopers too, and I had not noticed that the wrong cup was used as the "mickey". I looked at the clip where she was sad on a park bench and the "Friends of the Friendless" came along. Her pitiful look is so good.
