Episode Three "Be A Pal" First Aired OCTOBER 22, 1951

This is actually a very good episode not even considering that this one was in the first season which aren't as well done as the later seasons.

This episode is about Lucy trying to get Ricky's attention. He ignores her at breakfast "Hides behind the paper", doesn't talk to her in the morning.........So Lucy decides to do something about that.
  1. Pops toast out of the toaster at Ricky.......FAILED
  2. Walks out the door and rings the doorbell......FAILED
  3. Yells.....FAILED
  4. Even lights a fire under Ricky's newspaper.......FAILED
Then Ethel gets a book by Doctor Humphrey's "How To Keep The Honeymoon From Ending"
Chapter 1. GLAMOUR, dress up for your husband at breakfast.........FAILED

Chapter 2. "Be A Pal", take up your husband's hobby, fishing, golfing.......For Ricky it is poker. As you would assume that didn't go very well either.

Back to Doctor Humphrey's. By now Lucy is really upset.
Chaper 3. Make your home more like his hometown and be a mother to him.......hmmmm well........

After Ricky finds out what Lucy is trying to do, he hugs her and said "If I wanted to stay in Cuba, I would have stayed in Havana."

Here is a short clip from today's episode.

I love the part where Ricky catches the toast popping out of toaster as he sits behind the paper. How much practice and how many attempts did it take I wonder? Even if they cut a hole in the paper so he could watch (which I don't know that they did), to be able to catch it...

I was wondering the same thing. I did notice that he kind of looked up just before she popped it.

Watching it again, I don't see him looking up.
